And I can pretty much guarantee Herm would be thrilled with an offense that's capable of scoring 42 points in a game, all that field goal and 'arena football' bullshit aside.

If we can go back to the old days (even Grbac could do it) and that is run down people's throat and then hit them with the play action pass or screens we can score some points. We have young WR's with legs. Im excited about watching the young guys that have that hunger to play. We might not have a great season but I really think that we are on the right track. Personally, I was tired of getting old free agents and watching their sub-par play. I want to be watching the game and see Franklin, Charles, Cottam score their first of many touchdowns. Herm has a hard job and that is blowing this team apart and starting over. I don't think Bill Cowher could of saved this team.

No question. Nothing a defensive-minded coach likes more than a big lead because then you get the chance to try to kill the quarterback.

The field-goal Herm talk gets old very fast. Yes, that's what he wants.

Gaily did quite well with Pitt. and I'm not going to dig for stats now, but I remember reading that the Steeler offense regressed dramatically when he left. Apparently Gailey is a chicken-salad chef. Of course, I don't claim special knowledge of his former team, so perhaps everyone got old and fell of the proverbial football cliff?
