Many times in 2007, he was so wrapped around looking at pictures, plans, etc. that it does not seem he is emotionally into what is going on, on the field. Don't expect him to step outside of his personality boundaries but his personal demeanor attaches to the team and this year for many games ---- they were not emotionally "there".

I still remember Shanny saying that Plummer had so much success in 2005 because it was his third year in the system. He said it takes three years to be able to perform at an exceptional level in the system. Needless to say I was pretty excited for Jay Cutler in 2008. But because Shanahan runs the offense and calls the plays, the hit is minimized. This basically is a promotion for Heimy, so good luck and congratulations to him and all that. Heimerdinger was our wide receivers coach during the Super Bowl years. Our receivers played extremely well for the second year in a row. Also for the second year in a row, the expected #1 WR (Rod Smith in 06, Javon Walker in 07) wasn't able to play to their level. In the end I don't think this will be a step back, but changes like that usually prevent young players from taking as big of a step forward had the coach stayed.
