That was a serious shellacking - most impressive. I'm still reeling from the loss. You guys are legit, no doubt.

I don't know what has gotten into Woody (coaching assistant change? He finally listen to his assistant coaches? Mark Price?), but his coaching has risen a level or three from last year and is respectable in the first 4 games. He is developing a bench and plays about 9 guys each game consistently.


If it was the Solo of old, then he would have been tentative and not given us quality minutes. I'm already seeing some posts saying that Woody has changed his coaching style, but I don't think he's changed at all. It's the players that have matured and are playing with poise and confidence, and that makes Woody look a lot better.

If you think the Woody of old would have gone with Flip over Bibby in the 4th against NO then i have to wonder what you were watching. He consistently sat guys down when they were hot and refused to bench guys who were stinking it up.

He played Morris more than Zaza last night even though it was Morris' first game.

There's no question that Woodson has big one of the biggest changes this year. Maybe the biggest.
