Who knows? We all know Mike runs a pretty tight ship, and Cooley has a rep for slacking. All I'm saying is Cooley looks quicker than I remember him and Paul looks like shit, but we still see them working Paul into the passing game rather than Cooley.

Mike likes to be right, who doesn't? But if "results" matter more or less for different players (gameday results) I think it's hard to keep a team together. We've seen the guys come together over the last four weeks. Personally, I think it has more to do with locker room leadership (RG and London would be my guesses) than Mike or anything with coaching. Just talking about focus and intensity here.

Coaching/play-calling has definitely improved as well, both offense and defense. I think we're closer to firing on all (available) cylinders than ever before, but forcing a guy like Paul into the mix doesn't help.
