TBF, mid season guys don’t have the benefit of a training camp to institute their strategies. It’s fair to judge Ward on last year as far as his ability to prepare motivate and for in game stuff, and how he handled the disruption of Peters leaving (probably his biggest plus). But I think it was also fair to wait until this year to judge his preferred game style. Last year he’d have been wiser to just maintain and improve upon Peters’ systems as opposed to wholesale changes.
