I'm not THAT guy, but I have heard echoed by people like Diddenger and others when a new OC is brought it, it can take between 6-8 weeks into the season before things snap into place (provided it is an effective scheme).
You can see it on both sides of the ball this season.
They looked better after the bye week, but this is the best they've looked on both sides of the ball.
On offense, remember, no Mailata, Becton or Goedert. Overcame two bad penalties by Steen that could have been drive killers.
On defense, Burrows was red hot, pin point accuracy to start the game, patience, kept playing the scheme and eventually Burrows made mistakes.
