Yeah nothing too much can be said about team chemistry Pete. My uncle is Earle Bruce the ex OSU football coach from the 80's. His first team in 1979 was 2 points away from a national title and ended up 9-3 the following year, with virtually all the big names back. He said the 1979 team just gelled well while the 80' squad was just a bit off sync. The difference was that in 1979 he had some "second tier" players that were able to contribute in a big way.
I have to also agree with 724 Skinsfan, in that with Marty we had something good going. Even with Norv we were competitive for the most part. IF I could pick between my monniker(Gus) and JC I would pick Gus in a heartbeat. I pushed a lot for JC to start last year in the Wash Post forums, but I am not sure he will get us to the promised land. Gus made guys like Westbrook and Leslie Shephard look like all pros at times. Still miss those shootouts with Plummer and the Cards!!! Damn those were fun days.
