I will include the article and his words below, but with the QB change, injuries at WR, HB, the playcalling at times, etc. In a way are we building, or are we focused?
I for one have to say it feels like we are building with soo many situations and injuries as a team.
here's what he said;
"The mindset that I've kind of been spreading a little bit to the guys is, 'You know, your team isn't always stacked forever,'" Smith said. "With free agency, the way drafts are set up – if you have successful seasons you get the lower end of the draft. You have certain windows. And you don't want to get into 'Is this our window? Do have two years, three years?' I wouldn't say that. I know with some of the guys that he we have and with free agency and all that, we're not going to be able to keep this team together forever. "Even age-wise, the whole team won't be the same. I'm kind of stressing, let's go about this in a way that we're kind of focused, we're not building. Let's do it this year and then see what happens next year. Take a year-by-year approach. I think this year, put everything together and work the way that we need to work, hopefully we can accomplish our goal."

for the record the only uncertainty is your take of the difference between focused and building.
