RG: Will Shields (by the way, he's a year away from retirement)
RT: Chris Terry

OLB: Derrick Johnson
MLB: Kawika Mitchell
OLB: Kendrell Bell
FS: Greg Wesley
SS: Sammy Knight
CB: Patrick Surtain
CB: Eric Warfield
And oh, by the way, by 2008, 5 of those guys will be retired or too old to play effectively, 5 of those guys are so bad that they'll never find work outside of KC, and 4 of those guys will be situational backups. That's 14 guys you have to replace and almost all of these guys have even lousier backups backing them up.
You have 3 drafts and no money to spend to fix this mess. Your move, slick.
You can't possibly look at that 2005 roster without barfing. This team was a sinking ship well before Herm came into town, but rather than let the ship sink and then rebuild it, Peterson put some duct tape on the ship and forced it to float.

None of herm's other qualities can compensate for his bad game day management
If you don't see that I just don't know what to say..
DO you think he'll some how get better at making gameday decisions?
And using your arguement how come vermeils old guys seemed to have less injuries than herms young bucks?
Thats a problem that has followed him from the jets.
