Good to see Childress knows how to pace the physical demands of an NFL season.
Should pay huge dividends in December and January.

I don't know. 7-2 after the bye with the first play off appearance in several years was more satisfying to me than a 6-0 start, then fading down the stretch.

A little improvement a key position or two should make a huge difference.

Not that one and done in the playoffs is what we were looking for.

But we were the NFCN champs despite shaky quarterbacks and coaching.

That's why I continue to say, this team is pretty damn good.

And running a boot camp style training camp, ala. Les Steckel, doesn't leave a lot in the tank at the end of the season.
These guys work out almost year around these days. They just need enough work to get back in pads and used to the contact in preseason.

+1, I would prefer to win every game, but if that's not possible I'd rather win late than early.
