I also had high hopes when MLF was hired. I thought the offense would be modernized with lots of motion and trick plays. Lots of splash plays.
I think Gute made a big mistake by not investing high draft picks in the OL. Without an OL a team really has nothing and that's why we play plenty of teams that might have as many as 3 #1 picks on their line. He really whiffed taking Myers over Humphreys.
