It's so fun to watch a team come together, and the vibes are just immaculate now. The rise of the defense appears to be tied to a secondary that is growing into a formidable unit. (Funny how that happens when SMB goes down, just like our other FA additions on the D-Line). Melton and Williams have the potential to be good starters, and even Starling is making plays.
On offense, they just pound other teams into submission, very dissimilar to any Cards team in recent memory. Kyler is the wildcard that can take us to the next level...if he keeps playing like this, I don't think any team wants to deal with us.
Finally, it's such a nice change of pace to have coaches that are outscheming and out-prepping other teams.
This appears to be the beginning of very good things to come - nothing more exciting than an ascending team with money to blow and lots of young talent.
