You know, I was excited when Spurrier was coming in. I really thought we'd be able to develop a Ram-esque speed offensive game and bringing in Trotter and Armstead along with our good DBs would make us a true contender in a couple years. It just seems that for whatever reason Spurrier couldn't or just didn't want to adapt. He probably believed his own press and got used to being able to win with the best talent. Just shows how solid the NFL as a league is in general. You can't buck the system.

The other big, big blunder was letting Stephen Davis go. Blocking was bad last season, but without the threat of a running threat it was just constant pounding from opposing defenses. I think that Gibbs is smart enough to block, to run and to adapt when something isn't working out right.
