Hope it's true, and if it is, THANK EFFING GOD.

Gee, our Hall of Fame coach may have finally figured out that there may be a reason why TJ Duckett rushed for 11 TDs in 2003, 8 TDs in 2004 (in 13 games), and another 8 TDs in 2005 (in 14 games).

He sure as hell wasn't breaking long TD runs, that's for sure Coach!

I really believe that TJ’s signing was the final blow to team chemistry before the season. Remember rock’s reaction? I think Gibbs had to show some loyalty to Rock & Betts to keep things cool. That & someone on Comcast said TJ was slow to learn the O.

Loyalty is important, but the goal is to win. I would imagine Joe wants to do anything to win - loyalty be damned. I also think that if ended up 10-6 and in the playoffs, loyalty would be the last thing us fans would be worried about.
