I'll start it off.

Kickers out practicing punting. Hagerup consistently hitting 70+ yards.

From what I'm hearing...the defense looks great and the o-line still sucks?  Well, at least that was predictable.

Will be the key as had been said over and over again... They just don't look capable of blocking anyone... I'm starting to think it wasn't Borges it was Funk

I'm so skeptical of Funk.  I just can't come up with a scenario that puts anything but a lot of the blame on him for last season.  Even if it was a complexity/volume of schemes problem, what are the chances that (1) he noticed the problem, (2) he told Borges and Hoke that his guys can't handle it, and (3) Borges and Hoke told him to piss off?  Seems very unlikely to me.  I think the experience thing is a big deal, but it doesn't justify what happened last season.  That was awful despite there being two NFL tackles and some really highly recruited talent on the roster.

I'm one of the more "be patient with the coaches" guys here, but I'll start.

Fire Funk.  Not now, because that would mess up the season, but fire him seven months ago.  I just wrote out my reasons for being skeptical of him above, but I just don't see how he doesn't deserve A LOT of the blame for last season.
