Yeah, but if this is our identity, watch out. We're the youngest team in the NFL and with a base crew of Thiggy, Charles, Cox, Albert, Bradley, Cottam and D-Bowe, these guys could be playing together for 5-6 more years.
Reminds me of Billick in a way. He rose to fame with the most prolific offense in NFL history in Minny and then won a SB with a monster D and a Clark Kent offense in 2000 (Ravens). Wouldn't it be poetic justice if Herm was inadvertantly sitting on an explosive spread offense when he came here to build a win-ugly-in-the-4th-quarter-BucBall team?
Billick had the good sense to shelf his 'rep' as an offensive guru and go with the talent the Ravens had - all the way to the Super Bowl. Hopefully Herm will give Gailey a chance to get all there is to get from these kids and also let Gun do the same instead of trying to pound the square peg of our D talent into the round hole of the Tampa 2 scheme.
