Yep. Should've never run off Slocum. That was the beginning of the garbage we see before us.
He had his time. He was not in an upswing. And he was the same problem on the D as Fran, Sherman, and Sumlin were on O: mostly failed to recruit balanced talent.
But having lunchpail guys knock out opponents was a lot of fun even if we didn't win significant games. Though probably today we wouldn't be as thrilled with the inevitable DQs for targeting that only get called against the teams with good tacklers…
