of course the players we bring in via free agency and the draft will help make our team better, but there is one supplemental factor that everyone seems to ignore that will be a huge reason on why we will see improvement. They are...
1. The hiring of asst. head/quarterbacks coach Mark Trestman. This guy knows how to make an offense go, and he knows how to get the best out of his QBs. You will see a big improvement from our QBs with Trestman tutoring them.
2. The hiring of wide receivers coach Jerry Sullivan. Our Fins struck gold in hiring this guy. Sullivan will turn our WRs into better players and Chambers into a pro bowler in the near future. Derrius Thompson had a bad year, but I'm glad to see that he restructured because I believe he will benefit the most with Sullivan around. You will see instant improvement from him. Fans who spent a lot of time at training camp knows that Thompson was one of the most exciting players in camp last year. Sullivan will get that performance out of him come game day. I do hope we get one of the top WRs in the draft and use Thompson as our #3, because I think he would more dangerous there.
3. The unexpected promotion of Joel Collier may turn out to be a very good signing as well. Although having a guy in this position with no previous experience makes me a little worried. I've read published comments from other coaches and colleagues that know him, and it has eased my anxieties I've had about his promotion. I've learned that he is very capable of being a successful offensive coordinator in the NFL. Since this is the job he always wanted, I believe we have an eager and motivated coach who will put his stamp on our offense. Even though Collier is the man who will run our offense, Trestman and Sullivan (both former offensive coordinators) will help make Collier's transition much smoother. Plus we will have an advantage, because no one has tape on an Collier led offense. This should be interesting to see how it unviels. I'm sure it won't be a completely different offense, but I think he won't be as predictable as Turner was, because no one knows his tendecies.
It seems like everyone on this board fails to realize that these "behind the scenes" hirings are going to be vital in making our offense better. And 2 of the 3 hirings (Trestman and Sullivan) are major upgrades that will vastly improve the positions they are responsible for and the positions that they are responsible for, we all agree need help.
So what do you guys think?
Also, free agency is right around the corner and before it's all said and done. I'm hoping we have Damien Woody and Chris Villarel here. If someone signs O-Gun away from us, then we draft 1a) WR and 1b) Vernon Carey.
Go Fins!!!!
