They were never even able to field a unit to practice last spring and fall. They brought in a bunch of guys and threw something together with duct tape and bondo...and then made them do it at warp speed. Frankly, they probably should get credit for doing as well as they did...and let's not forget that last year's team smashed the season rushing record...so they did accomplish a few things.

This year they returned just about everyone...they are much, much healthier...they got a couple of studs added in Kanuch and Lapuahu...Fusi actually got to practice before the season starts...

I'm not saying the patient is ready to be discharged, but I think we have clearly been upgraded from critical to fair condition and by the end of the season could be good.
