Aptitude and desire are needed. Davie had no aptitude but

Had desire. Weis had some aptitude but lacked the desire in the form of not willing to learn both sides of the ball and also no aptitude to throttle back his inappropriate decisions in games offensively- going for 4th down, not running out clock v going for scores when a run and eating time would end the game. Faust had no aptitude.

Freeman appears to have aptitude and desire. He most importantly he is willing to admit what he doesn’t know - leaving the door open to learn how to close those holes.

He can ramp up over time if that’s true. You can’t teach experience is his problem. He needs 30-50 games behind him to grasp during games how to adjust based on what he has seen and tried before (this looks like X, I tried Y and that failed before, so we need to do Z this time).
