As players are signed, it strikes me as a similarity as well as difference to the Carroll era. We heard "Always Compete" continuously under the previous leadership. It was in every article and presser. Considering MMacs quickness to cut players and coaches that didn't meet his standard, I don't feel like there's a difference in philosophy, per se, but perhaps execution. The new leadership doesn't say it, doesn't wait and doesn't exclude positions/individuals (yet, anyway). We'll see how it plays out. Perhaps it evolves as it did under Pete. For now, it seems like the hardball approach with lots of new guys and opportunities to shine is a bright spot...to me anyway.
