That's not true. Don Warren, Rick Walker and Clint Didier were very instrumental in Gibb's offense and they certainly will be remembered by some of us old timers who cheered them on.

Sunra, you are right about Warren, Walker and Didier to some degree, but it may be that there is a new trend at least this year in TE/HBs or whatever you want to call them. I mean if you look around the league at some teams who have winning records you find teams with one "go to" WR and one "go to" TE/HB. Examples: Skins, Chargers, Giants, Falcons, Chiefs (Gonzales is coming around). It seems like many teams like having a big brusier out there who has hands and can run you over instead of outrunning you.
