I'll miss David Loverne jumping before the snap 5 times a game. Yeah, right...

I already miss the UF posters telling us how great SM and DW will do....Yeah, right...

Seriously, I'll miss Darrell Green the most. Not sure how I feel about Davis yet. Guess we'll have to see how our running goes befor I can say to that.

Definately will miss the retros too.

Davis....I love dhim here, but will I miss him, I dont think so because of my excitement to see Trung, Betts, Watson,a nd Morton battling for the numebr one spot. I will mis Darrell big time, it won't be the same.

For may of here in the forum, we are of the age, 20's 30's where if we remember when the first time we were Redskins fans, too many of us Green was already ont he team, or coming within a few seasons. This will be odd, different, sad, wierd.

I will miss the retro unis to. Damn Snyder. Lets keep them.

I was watching the DC United soccer game on Saturday and was thinking how much I miss RFK. Its hard to see RFK and except the fact that we will never see the Redskins play another game there. I think Snyder should have a pre-season game there sometime. I know he wont due to the money that he'll lose out on but I can wish....

I will not miss Davis. I don't think he was the exceptional stud everyone seems to think he was. While he was good, and good for us, I think we'll be better than fine without him. Mainly because we will have a great offensive line.
(just watch him struggle in Carolina)

Everyone will miss green
We will miss Gardener
I still miss the Cards in our division.

Other than that, we will be MUCH better off this season than last.

Davis was a stud while here. No questions about that. He was our offense and I will definately miss him. Darrell Green will be missed as well. I really miss RFK. I'll miss the retros too, I think they gave us a bolder look.

Davis took advantage of a system built around him...trust me...we won't miss him. I know no one sees it my way on this, but we're better off without him.

I liked the retro's as well...BUT, I hated the helmets. I love our logo, if we could have kept our logo / helmet and kept the retro jerseys, I would have been fine with that. (although we'd need to change the red in our helmet to the burgandy it's supposed to be.

Can't the same be said for Riggins?

Marshall Faulk comes to mind also.

So does Emmitt with the lines he was lucky to run behind.

TexSkin · #12 07-07-2003, 06:04 PM

Darell

Emmanouel8 · #13 07-07-2003, 06:08 PM

Ditto. Jsarno the same can be said about every player in the league. Of course the system is tailored for Davis he's the freakin RB!! He touches the ball 20 times a game who do you want the system tailored too, Albert Connell?! Many RB's/QB's/WR's have the system tailored to them and they F-L-O-P anyways.

Darrell Green and Daryl Gardner

i thought about this thread because i was going thru all my old tapes, and i game across some game tapes from the 1999-2000 season. i watched some of the games against the ravens and eagles, both wins

. anyhow, one of my most favorite plays was when davis stiff armed rod woodson to the ground and scooted to the endzone for a 33 yard TD. then i thought, man, im gonna miss that. also, the games against the eagles when darrell intercepted an ill advised pass from mcnabb to win us the game. then i though, man, im gonna miss him too. i also watched the preseason game against the 49ers last year when they were wearing the retros and the i thought, those uniforms look really good under the lights.

like PennSkinsFan said, ever since ive been watched the redskins, darrell green has been on the field. so for the first time ever, for me, he wont be there

. about davis, im gonna miss the only offense we've had for the last 4 years and the way he played (when healthy), but i do think we will be better off without him.
