I don't think Spags is quite at that point, mainly because he has better coaches around him. I think Cullen and Daly can help keep him be a little more innovative, but man, it's just not looking very scary right now.
All the guys on the D should know the scheme pretty well now, and we're headed into the final quarter of the season. Will he show some new wrinkles? I sure as hell hope so, because what we're seeing currently is the definition of the word "meh."

I realize we live and die by the blitz because Jones is the only one that can win one on one, but that almost seems like something Spags should excel at since he designs all these crazy blitz schemes. For whatever reason though it sure doesn’t seem like the blitzes have been very imaginative lately. Everything looks so vanilla on defense.
