This was Greggo's team prior to 2004. It took MM approximately 5 games to get things on the right track. BUT, it's still going to take some more time to get the final tweaks worked out.
I like what I see. Willis, Lee, Moulds, Aiken, McGee, Williams (Pat & Mike),Schobel etc. And how about the contributions of Freddie Smith, Trafford, Jason Peters, Mario Haggan just to name a few. The dead weight was dumped right after that Pats loss (Bobby Shaw) and I'm sure more will be dumped in the upcoming offseason. Lindell.
MM deserves praise. He's earned the respect of his players and his coaches. And most importantly in our minds, the fans.
As much as you guys want to B word, you haven't had a team go better than 8-8 since 1999. It's now 2005 folks and that's the first year under the leadership of MM.
