Re: 5 years later...
5 years later and the case won't even go to trial until 5 1/2 years minimum? I want to see these guys punished so we can finally have some closure.
I still miss him. Especially when you see Madieu Williams/Reed Doughty/Kareem Moore/Laron Landry/etc. whiff on a tackle, or just give up a big play, or even drop an interception. The first half of the 2007 season I felt things had come together completely for him. He had 5 picks in 7 games, was all over the field making plays, and never gave up a big play for a touchdown in any of those games. It was just like everything clicked, and we were witnessing his transformation into something great.
Hands down my favorite player from those Gibbs teams. And it's not just his loss on the field that's hurt. When he became a dad I really felt his mentality changed in a great way. I can't imagine we're hurting as bad as his daughter and Jackie Garcia are right now. I can only hope that the trial will eventually bring some closure to this. One thing's for sure though, heaven doesn't need a free safety. R.I.P.
