Now Fleury is a former TE coach
TE snaps/targets should tick up.
Continuity
Quarterback
Was Sam Darnold
Now Sam Darnold
Projected starter.
Head coach

Now LT Charles Cross, LG Grey Zabel, C Jalen Sundell, RG Anthony Bradford, RT Abraham Lucas
Named five is intact.
Run blocking
Was Same five
Now Same five

WR1 is unchanged. Complementary speed stays.
Team environment
Was Macdonald year two
Now NFC West slog
