Wanny, Fiedler & Co.
I feel I'm one of the few that give Wanny and Fiedler a lot of credit for what they've done. I really feel Fiedler has a few years under his belt now under center and now in his second year under Norv. If he can stay healthy this year, look out Phin Fans! He will impress a lot of people including the media.
Wannstedt deserves a lot of props as well as our owner Wayne H. for keeping him. Dave has worked his butt off and has maintained a sound nucleous on our team over the years with wise decision-making and cap restraints. My only knock on Wanny is his propensity to be a bit conservative in crunch time. If he allows Norv to turn the dogs loose if we're in the lead during a game, I think that will send a loud message to our team that we want a killer instinct. "When we got 'em down, let's put a fork in them!" You couple that with fresh blood, leadership, and a killer instinct in Sammy Knight and Junior Seau, you've got the making of an awesome team headed to the Super Bowl. On my last note, if our team can stay relatively healthy (especially in key positions) in December, a first round bye in the playoff will be much needed considering we get our regular season bye all the way back in September. I don't care how healthy we are in December. These guys will be bone tired come the end of the season and it will be difficult to get on a roll as a team. Noticed I said TEAM???
