Stefanski is the real deal. I LOVED the hire at the time, but this entire season (even the first week) is way overperforming my expectations. After that fake punt, the playcalling has been as close to perfect as you can get in the NFL.
I do too. He really is slowing the game down for Baker. Playing to his strengths, getting him out in space, giving him 2 read 3 and 5 step passes. Going deep when you dont expect it. Running receivers open with underneath routes, using our receiving talent appropriately. He puts OBJ in the slot to run Landry underneath on a one cut no safety help route, or he runs OBJ underneath on a crossing route with a natural pick to get OBJ open,.
Then there is the running attack. He runs the same play if it worked the first time, crazy. If Chubb missed a cutback, the next series you see the same play but Chubb is aware to look for the cutback,,,that is coach. The lead pulling guard trap plays are amazing with the wide splits. So well designed, so well coached. For a run its a long developing play, but we have 2 very patient but explosive running backs, perfect for the zone blocking scheme which needs to wait for the running lanes to develop.
The defense shows promise too. We are missing allot on defense, and when healthy we will have issues at linebacker and safety. But Myles is a disrupter, we know we have issues in the secondary but have a good DL so we dont blitz much letting the line get to the qb on its on and leaving max coverage, Best you can hope for with our personnel. The coaching is amazing. I want to say wait for one more offseason, but fuck that, i am going to enjoy this season no matter our record, i see improvement from a young team that is being coached well.
