a coaching issue last year more than a personnel or team chemistry issue.
The next biggest difference is Defensive play, which is more a matter of our new coach last year being in the process of installing his new system. He improved on the previous year’s performance, so I would not say that our D was harmed compared to the previous year by a lack of chemistry.
The next biggest difference is QB play. Retzlaff turned from bad last year to good this year so far. Possibly related to chemistry issues related to transfers, but I think it’s more about individual progress.
