Which position group do you think has improved the most

from last year due to a new position coach?

I think clearly the top two would be LB and WR. I would give the nod to WR because I think their whole mind set has changed. I think players like Moore and Reilly are clearly playing with more confidence. Moore has become our most dangerous weapon with DPE coming on fast. As those players attract more attention Westy will get more room and less attention.

So I think Williams has had the most impact on a position group. I also like the job the OC has done this year although I'm sure many would disagree.

I tend to agree. I'd give the nod to the LB'ers. Zero depth and missing a ton of guys and aren't missing a beat.

LB and it's not even close. QB is about the same, RB is worse, OL is about the same. WR, while talented, is not catching the ball well enough. Way too many drops, even though they were better in that dept Saturday.

DL has been better against the run by a mile, but pass rush is still anemic. DB has been rough. LB play has taken a huge leap forward, and the tackling on defense has been SO MUCH BETTER. It makes you wonder what the hell was hard about it for the last several years that suddenly this year, they can stick, wrap, drive.

Oh and I've been pleased with the TE in the passing game. Can't honestly say I've been watching them as far as run blocking.

It is so great to see the lb's ; and where rb's used to churn free on the edge, its down they go to good form and drive. If I were a tight end I would rush here; there is room to be a star and they will find you in this system - so the talent has not risen to its max level yet.

LB because under Bo it was extremely rare to see 3 on the field at one time, part of the reason the roster is so depleted. Newby is playing well there and he played spot duty DE last year. Young is starting as a true frosh. Webber played like a man possessed when he got his chance. Bray is the man.

The way our LBs play I will be very surprised if we don't sign some realllly good ones

Linebacker play is the obvious choice... Pretty sad what a ****** regime can do to an excellent talent. Banderas is becoming what we thought he was.
