And you are dead on about Davis, why make a comment about Long retiring at Shell's press conference, Davis is always willing to want to blame the woes of the organization rather than accept some responsibility, do you really think one player retiring is the reason they started to be bad, especially when that player was a defensive lineman? Quarterback most likely we saw what Gannon's retirement did, but not a defensive lineman.

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner....
