That's not true. Don Warren, Rick Walker and Clint Didier were very instrumental in Gibb's offense and they certainly will be remembered by some of us old timers who cheered them on.

Sunra, you are right about Warren, Walker and Didier to some degree, but it may be that there is a new trend at least this year in TE/HBs or whatever you want to call them. I mean if you look around the league at some teams who have winning records you find teams with one "go to" WR and one "go to" TE/HB. Examples: Skins, Chargers, Giants, Falcons, Chiefs (Gonzales is coming around). It seems like many teams like having a big brusier out there who has hands and can run you over instead of outrunning you.

Right now Brunell is really locked on to Moss, and Cooley, and yes Cooley is a much bigger part of the game plan than other TE's, and H-backs in the past, I don't know if it's so much Jacobs fault right now, rather more so the productivity of Moss, and Cooley, and to a lesser degree Sellers, Patton see's very little as well and he's a proven game breaker, I just think Brunell is locked in right now on those 3, but he should look to spred it around and get comfortable with the other guy's, because it's front page news at this point if you want to beat us, take Moss, and Cooley out of the game, and it's only a matter of time before we see a heavy dose of that by defenses, ala the Giant game.

Offiss, you hit the nail on the head. I feel like the Giants took out Moss and maybe Cooley and then everyone else just started dropping balls. I am sure the Bucs have noticed this as well. They have a good D. It worries me for this weekend. However the Panthers are worse with Steve Smith being their only guy and he STILL makes plays, so who knows how all of this will play out.
