The head coach and the starters mostly speak the same language: 16 of 27 are good fits. The starting lineup has no dominant element, so O'Connell's air approach sets the tone. Strongest link to O'Connell: Brandel (OL). The big factor is a Sun trine. Watch Thorson (P) with O'Connell. The issue is clashing elements.
The offense mostly speaks Phillips's language, with 7 of 12 starters in sync. Phillips is an air Sun leading an air-leaning offense. Same temperature, same tempo. Strongest link to Phillips: Jefferson (WR). The big factor is a Sun trine. Watch Jennings (WR) with Phillips. The issue is a Chinese zodiac clash.
The defense plays like an extension of Flores: 8 of 12 starters connect with him. The defense has no dominant element, so Flores's water approach sets the tone. Strongest link to Flores: Banks (DL). The big factor is a shared element. Watch Rodriguez (DL) with Flores. The issue is clashing elements.
