You have certainly spelled out the situation about as well as can be done. Thanks !MoLewisrocks said::wha:
I believe you are half right. I'm sure he is disappointed to lose the guy he counted on to finish his game winning drives. And I'm sure he realizes that losing a club house presence like Willie just ups his leadership workload too.
He invested a lot of time and effort in helping Givens develop, and that one has to really sting. I'm sure he will say that it is a business, and he is confident they will find a player or players to replace David's production, but he knows what it takes to build the necessary rapore with these guys to be able to execute this offense with consistency. In this offense WR don't just have to get seperation or run precise routes - you have to see what he sees when he adjusts pre and post snap and be capable of adjusting on the fly as well. That takes time - even after 3 years Branch and Givens still struggled occasionally with that aspect of our game at times. As does an otherwise bright and immensely talented TE like Watson.
Yeah, that's the mantra, but how many reinvented teams can BB get to the promised land. Actually, a lot of the 2004 team is still there, but things tend to even out across the league. Three SB wins in the first half of the decade/millennium is great. A fourth this year or next would be phenomenal, IMO.AndyJohnson said:I think he is thinking there isnt a game to play for over 5 months, and he trusts that by that time the team BB puts together will be good enough to win a SB
