good point, that team had a couple vet prima donnas, e.g. Bruce smith (love him, but his last few years here were all about his sack record), but he turned that season around & might've gotten em in the right direction if the danny had lived up to his end.
Funny, I said at the beginning of the year that the g-men reminded me of the 2000 Redskins. Though marty was here in 01, a lot of the same guys were on the team. Both those teams & the g-men have a lot of vets. I think it's harder for a disciplinarian coach to coach that tough style w/older players who've been around to see how other coaches do it.
