There are only three drafted players from the Vermeil era still on this team. LJ, Colquitt, and DJ. Herm was handed a squad of old and shitty players and the team had no direction. Now that Turk and Tank are contributing in a big way, it would be hard for any team to match what he has accomplished with the last three drafts.
More importanly, drafted players don't rot on the bench the way they did with Vermeil. Of course a lot of that had to do with how lousy we drafted under DV. But the point is that, like Marty, Edwards can coach them up and get them ready to play. And the players seem to like playing for Herm.
So while there may be some legitimate complaints about his game day philosophy, his overall approach is solid and is proving to be effective, IMO.

I humbly must agree with this post...I want to enjoy this season and not have it go in the tank like week 8 and on last year. when you look at his picks...they are starting to play some ball...I think the Ingle will be starting by week 5 as well..
