Yeah, definitely a better first half, though not all that bad a second. First time I have seen Foghorn actually making situational substitutions. In the first half he really seemed to be coaching.

Second half though he fell back into the "looks like five white shirts out there, what, me worry?" school. Guys got winded and efficiency dropped off.

But, you're not going to get back to the old way of playing overnight and this seemed like a pretty good first step to me. Time to build on it and get this team firing on all cylinders come the second season.

P.S. Interesting quote from Foghorn last night on the telecast (League Pass picked up the Detroit feed) - something like "remember, it's not the end of the season. We have more like 40 more to play. So we still need to watch minutes." Guess that's why the starters played most of the second - 38 for CB and RW, then 36, 33, and 30. Of course, the Hawks had three guys well over 40.
