comments from the year before to this last year. They were very open and honest about the OL. They knew it wasn't going to be good and they admitted it... This year they have something to talk about. They've said everything from guys actually showing some fight in them for once, to improvement at positions, etc.

The coaches do this for a living. They don't talk players up that just don't have it. The fact that they are pointing out DRASTIC differences is something to pay attention to. You can pull the whole "I'd like to believe coaches, but I have no reason to" but it doesn't make sense.. You do have reason to. Last year they knew the line wasn't going to be good... Good reason to believe them.... This year the comments they are making about some of these guys is absolutely great.

It's not just fluff. Bronco, 2J, Anae, Howell, players... They've all noticed a big change in the play and attitude of these guys... I'll take their word on improvement. Nobody is saying they'll be absolutely amazing. But progress is proven.

It's just ironic that you picked Fusi to pick on out of these guys when he's been the clear standout this spring.
