“I think our guys came to understand exactly what we were trying to get done,” said Gailey. “We saw the coverages that we expected every week and the receiving corps gained familiarity with the quarterback and the quarterback gained familiarity with the receiving corps.”

A good thing compared to the year before when we practiced vs. a 4-3 and when faced with a 3-4 on gameday our QB and offense were lost.


“I think overall as you look at the season some good things came out of it,” said Fitzpatrick. “I think there were some real good players and pieces that we found and didn’t know we had, but there’s obviously a lot of work that needs to be done as well. The offseason is the time to evaluate all of those things. You sit down and evaluate what you did, what you can change, how you can get better and that’s what we’ll do.”

I'm glad they know there's a lot of work to be done. Fitz should work out with Lee in the offseason and get some chemistry going.



"To be honest with you, I’m looking forward to (next season),” said Gailey. “And I think our offensive line is going to be a lot better next year. I think that we’re going to be able to do better things with C.J. Spiller next year. I’m really looking forward to what I think our offense can be this coming year.”Git er' done Chan !
