Our starting o-line is a top 5 o-line. A few short years ago our o-line was beyond horrible. It is a amazing what the coaches have done and they don't get enough credit. Our team has been changing for the better every year. From gibbs' first draft with 2 amazing players, sean and cooley, to picking santana and getting rid of WRs who have done nothing since leaving here. Last year we were complaining about how we didn't "have a true number 1 WR". Now we are among the top 7 in WR groups.

Bugel has made all of the players play to their potential. Samuels and thomas played at pro bowl levels last year. Dockery has taken huge strides and I am sure jansen will get better but the year he was injured may have hurt his development with bugel. As for dockery losing pounds and this not being like the old hogs, i can't speak of the hogs because i never saw them in action. However, Bugel is allowing his guys to fit this new offense and that is great. He can break from what he knows to hope for something better. Gibbs gave up play calling duties only after changing his offense the second year and putting in the shotgun and changing blocking schemes. Gibbs knows that change isn't something bad. These coaches are great because they don't have big egos that don't allow for change.
