Neither the offense or the defense has "opened up" yet. Gunther's defensive playbook is almost as large as Saunders' offensive playbook.
If anything, the offense should be farther ahead because most of those guys have been here. The defense has several free agents that have to get acclimated.
And I should make this clear: Holthus did not say that this was contentious. Vermeil actually seems to be harboring some competition this year. If you ask me, I think the offense needs it, they seem to act complacent at times.
