Amidst a coaching transition, an observer can glean a lot about a team’s new coaching staff: personnel packages, tempo, scheme, etc. More difficult for the observer is figuring out how it is going to incorporate the current roster, what adjustments will be made for less-than-ideal (or, sometimes ideal!) fits, and if the coaches can even do what they want to do.
After four games, I have some theories— but think just the raw numbers tell a larger part of the story.
