Three games in...

I'm not sure what is or isn't true with Barry's tenure in Denver, but he certainly has had a positive impact on our offensive line and I'm not hearing any complaints from the players. Until I hear differently, he is one of the best things to happen to the Fins this offseason
 
Butch Barry was celebrated by Broncos players when he left the Broncos.

Many here dissed McDaniel for the hire.


Almost everybody was concerned about the reports coming out of Denver plus the U fans having less than positive things to say about him.

Coach Mike is confident as ****.

As a U fan, I stated when he was hired that I wasn’t impressed with him in his one year as the Hurricanes OL coach. Yet I also added at the time that since MCDaniel had worked with him with the 49ers, MCDaniel obviously thought a lot of him.

Fortunately MCDaniel was right in hiring Barry and I was completely wrong in judging him based on his one season at the U.
 
Phenomenal job by everyone - at some point I don't care who is responsible- the QB, the coach, the scheme, the players, the playcalls - the bottom line is that its working, and the guys up front are accomplishing what they need to.

It honestly seems like almost at any point since 2004 this team has been playing "defense on offense" as I heard someone term what happens to teams with bad lines. For once I don't feel like we're on training wheels and only allowed to do what limited things our line lets us, while other teams can assault us with a full playbook.

He is def 1B as far as acquisitions with 1A being Fangio
 
I'm excited about Fangio, but on the field we're still waiting to see his defense outperform Boyer (remember, we were 3-0 last year too), so I can understand why some think Barry is paying more dividends.
Yeah, it’s hard to be negative right now, but the defense doesn’t look better than last year yet. The O is just so good right now that other teams are breaking down trying to keep up.

The run defense has solidified since Week One, but the pass rush still leaves a lot to be desired and the secondary is not good. We need Ramsey back, and/or Cam Smith to make an appearance. Xavien is a target out there.

I think the secondary has been way better than the run defense. Denver actually made some plays today, but they seemed like that- plays their guys made that were just really good plays. That's gonna happen in the NFL. But in 2/3 games something has gone on with either the gap integrity or guys just being out of position- way too many plays where the RB gets to the second level untouched, right through the middle.

I really do trust Fangio, you'd be an idiot not to with his track record- but the defense definitely isn't there yet.

But I think we have to change our expectation of needing the defense to win the game. Just keep things reasonable, play well in the red zone, and generate some opportune turnovers and key sacks and the like, and we'll have winning football with this offense.
