I'm still in the frame of mind where I want to see the team get better on a week-to-week basis, and while I root hard for us to win every game (I was exhausted after the Cinci game - and more relieved than excited), I'm more interested in seeing the development of our young players (Tannehill being the most important piece). There isn't a game that I think we can't win, but there also aren't games that I think we can't lose. We should be right around 8-8, and with our continued improvement, I think we have a better shot at 10-6 than 6-10.
After we put the coaching staff together, I insisted that player development would be one of the key areas we'd see improve. R. Jones and S. Smith look much better than I imagined either player ever looking. ****, N. Carroll is playing decent football. The LB'ers are all playing at a much higher level. Starks is having his best season - after a couple underwhelming seasons. On the other side of the ball, we have O-linemen developing at a nice rate. Jerry isn't playing great, but he's playing much better, and Pouncey and Martin are improving at a solid clip. Hartline is playing better than ever, and of course, Tannehill is exceeding all but the wildest expectations.
