I probably miss Davis more than anyone else.

More than anyone else on that list, we should we have never let go of QB Brad Johnson. Between Jeff George, Tony Banks, Danny Woeful, and Shane Matthews, I think letting him go constituted the biggest mistake. I really think we would have been playoff contenders every year since 1999.

Who do I think we will miss most this season? Daryl Gardener (of 2002 AND NOT Daryl Gardener of IHOP or 2003). I don't think that Cornelius Griffin and Philip Daniels cure our Dline woes and the dline was out biggest weakness. What gives? I didn't buy that LB compensating for the DLine stuff last year and I don't believe it this year.

As Steve Spurrier said, whoever dominates the line of scrimmage controls the game. As wrong as he was on a number of issues, he couldn't be more right about controlling the line of scrimmage-game. Gibbs' offense was so successful in large part because we had the Hogs. It looks like he's concentrated on the O-line to build on the Hog tradition. However, we need some D-line Hogs and Gibbs seems to be totally neglecting that.
