Agree 100%. 

While I said above that I was a little less optimistic about the team following the game than I was before, I have to say that Shaw's press conference encouraged me:

Reading between the lines, it was Tavita who convinced him to "stop being stubborn" and take advantage of the single coverage on JJAW.  I don't think I've ever heard Shaw ever say "If someone wants to take a way a part of our game, great, we shift our focus, and we find a way to take advantage of that."  Instead, the attitude is that it is all about our team, and if we execute properly we can run the ball against any scheme, any team, any time. 

It sounds to me as if Tavita, unlike the former line coach Bloomgren, is bringing a different attitude to the offense.  I know it is early, but Shaw-Pritchard already feels different to me than Shaw-Bloomgren.
