Signs are definitely continuing to point to the idea that Bill O'Brien can coach. At the very least he is smart enough to figure out the best way to win with the personnel on hand (something Kubiak never grasped).

Why do we keep looking for ways to get the ball in Johnson's hands? The guy is terrible and looks a second away from fumbling every time. He is like a smaller, slower, waiver wire version of Jacoby Jones.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a guy fumble twice on the same play and I know I've never seen a guy force two fumbles on the same play.
