I believe that season ruined Hutch..he was shellshocked..Hutch developed a case of happy feet after that. Thje only thing we learned about Hutch is he was one tough SOB
Hutch got beat out by QuINTcy last year and was released this offseason after only a so-so showing in Europe
2 more simliarities between the '02 Cowboys and '03 Skins were the OL coach and the OC
In Helton, you seemed to have a guy whose system who didnt didnt fit the personnel he had. Did the skins even pull their guard the last 2 years? Thomas has excellent mobility but wasnt used in this capacity. Helton, from what I read really alienated his OL
We had the same thing in Frank Verducci..a guy who tried to incorporate zone blocking with the piledriving man to man blockers we had on the team..injuries also ravaged our team that year...I believe we had 11 different OL combinations that year
Now Coslet and Spurrier were just flat out bad play callers...Spurrier just didnt seem to appreciate the run game @ all...losing Davis reaally hurt
I was also critical of you guys giving up Bailey and a 2nd round pick for Portis..(and for that Matter a 3rd and a ridiculous contract for Brunnel)
Steven Jackson would have been a super fit for Gibbs and his system...Jackson slipped all the way to 26 to the Rams. With a 2nd and 3rd rounder, you guys would have had the ammo to move up 12 or 13 spots to go and nab him Now, and this is no knock on Portis, but a knock to Snyder and Cerrato, Jackson would have come a HECK of a lot cheaper too.
The real slap in the face was when Kerry Collins was released..you guys could have had him without giving up a draft pick and for 1/2 the price of Brunnel
Again, just my humble opinion

So you have a problem with Hutchinson's happy feet, which by the way Ramsey doesn't have, and you want Collin's? The king of happy feet. Anyone who would put Ramsey in the same catagory as Hutchinson, hasen't watched a whole lot of football, the fact is, Hutchinson is a lowsy football player, And the fact is Ramsey is learning a whole new system, and not only does he have to learn a new system, the coach is running a very simple version of that system, which is allowing defenses to read and react better, this wont happen in the regular season, to judge Ramsey right now as a failure, is to not have a clue about Joe Gibb's, and how he run's his pre-season, under Gibb's the skin's are one of the worst pre-season team's in the league, 0-5 and a SB victory, and he's still fooling people, infact William's couldn't keep his mouth shut about it, he was trying to defend why we were beat so bad, Gibb's loves to play the underdog and he's setting that up, and then everyone will realize pre-season doesn't mean jack in the win lose catagory, By the way how did the 13 year veteran Brunnell look in that offense the other night? Exept for 1 long TD pass to McCant's this pre-season, he hasen't looked much better than Ramsey.
As for Portis, are we to believe that stephen Jackson is on the same level as Portis, he ran against a lot of scrub's the other night, I didn't see a whole lot to make me think this kid will be an elite back? There is a reason he fell so far, with team's like the eagles and cowboy's desperate for a running back passed on him, we did give up to much for portis, the second round pick was to much, but everyone look's at this deal as Champ being a hall of fame CB, and he's not that kind of talent, he was beat many a time playing for us, case and point, everyone in denver keep's talking about using Champ on offense, and kick return's, good luck, he was awful any time we used him on special's when he handled the ball, the guy couldn't catch, I think Champ is a product of more hype than substance, He's no Daryl Green, or Deion, or Haines, or any of the other elite CB's to have played the game, Spring's so long as he stay's healthy, will replace him no problem,
