This culture is unmatched in the NFL. Kudos to Sheila and Chris Spielman for having a vision and hiring the right guys to build it.

This is why we subscribe, Justin, your instincts to dig deeper were spot on. As mentioned above, the overall arc to all of these stories is the culture that DC, BH and the entire staff are cultivating. It's identifying the right people, whether it's players, coaches or staff, and giving them the resources to go above and beyond what is normal and reach extraordinary heights. As excited as I am for this season, I'm even more excited about the future of this team.

I love the culture that Dan and his staff have developed in the locker room.

It is really nice to hear that Barnes is paying it forward. I'm sure Barnes is learning just as much as Houston. If Houston has the same 3rd year jump as Barnes, the league better watch out! Nice article.

If you remember, Barnes was a Chris Spielman guy. He pushed to pursue him in draft.

You have to hand it to Campbell. He started with ex players as coaches and we saw how it has worked out. It’s a young team and key veterans started acting as coaches themselves to those young players. And now the young vets are starting down that road. It’s like having a staff that is 5x the size that you could usually afford to have as well as preparing players for a career in coaching after their career is over if they wish to go that route. It also makes them closer as teammates bringing an extra level of team to the equation.

I already loved Campbell and Holmes before, but this makes me appreciate how they’ve built this team even more.
