My biggest point is that if someone is complaining about marmie, i hope that they were complaining about lovie as well, since i think he was the most overated coordinated in history.

I agree with Lovie. He's had a career that has had a lot of the right pieces fall together for him. He had guys like Sapp, Lynch and Brooks in TB, and tried to make the same scheme work with Lewis, Arch & Polley. It was never going to happen. Were it not for all the TO's in 2003, that year could have been as ugly as 2004.

And as far as health...well that's the great unknown isn't it? If everyone stays healthy, the D will be above average and should be plenty good enough to give our offense more time on the field. However, if we have an injury or two at the right positions, we could be screwed regardless of who's on the sideline.
