I think Marty's a great coach (in the regular season anyway) but don't go with the absurd thinking that he, or anyone else for that matter, would do better job than Gibbs and the boys if they'd have less talent. Our salary cap situation would be just the same if anyone else was coaching this team.

Yes , Portis did miss a lot of time , but his backup averaged close to 5 yds a carry , so while CP was missed , its not like we had a bum running the ball. I agree we had injuries , but had we not traded mulitiple picks < 4 for JC > ; 3 for rocky ; 2 for brunell , two for Loyd ,;2 for Cooley , we would have had depth . As far as the cap , many teams are more than 10 million under the cap .I heard them on ESPN ,saying that Ny , Phil & dallas are all 12 million under , and they have draft picks . We are always having to renegotiate or cut players to field a team because we give everyone 2 to 5 times what other teams give out in signing bonus's. The only star other than CP to miss much time was Springs , If a team can't handle missing 1 key player for any lenght of time , that is bad personel decisions . The eagles have lost a heck of alot more than us , DM , Kearse , Bunkley and they win ? Maybe we get lucky this year with the inj's and the Def. turns around !
