Gibbs is back. But Casserley isn't. That's what's missing.

Casserly put together the 92 super bowl team.

Coach Gibbs Acquisitions:
Sean Taylor - Hit
Chris Cooley - Hit
Cornelius Griffin - Hit
Shawn Springs - Hit
Walt Harris - Hit
Joe Salavea'a - Hit
Philip Daniels - Neither hit or miss (has been hurt, but doesn't cost much)
Clinton Portis - Hit
Mark Brunell - Miss so far
Mike Barrow - Miss, but costs little

We'll See about:
Carlos Rogers
Jason Campbell
Casey Rabach
Santana Moss
David Patten

I was under the impression that Gibbs conceeded all defensive acquisitions to Williams. If I remember correctly Gibbs wanted KWII but Williams pleaded for Taylor. Of all of those people you mentioned Gibbs got the offensive guys.

Drafted the nations leading TE in yards (Not a huge reach), Got Clinton Portis (A Denver stud who had a down year, by his standards, in Gibbs system), and Mark Brunell, an obvious miss.

I don't think it's fair to call him a good talent evaluator in the least if it's true that Williams picks his defensive guys. Cooley was a great TE in college and Portis was a proven pro. We'll see about the other pickups from this year.

Daseal, whether you're giving the credit to Gibbs or Williams is splitting hairs. No matter which one of them get's the credit, the bottom line is together they have made good player-personnel decisions, and a GM isn't needed to help out.

Would you want a GM making decisions on defensive players after the record Gregg Williams posted last year? I'd take Gregg Williams over Charley Casserly any day when it comes to evaluating who to put in a Gregg Williams defense.

If you get Charley to help with just offense, fine, that makes sense to me, but only because Casserly is good. I wouldn't go adding just any old GM to the mix.
