An opposing scout's view "People don't realize what a good job Herm Edwards did last year. When they were 2-5, no one in his right mind would have predicted they would make the playoffs.... The draft of 2000, a year before this administration took over and the draft in which they had four first-round choices, saved them. One of them, John Abraham, has been to the Pro Bowl, and Chad Pennington was at that level [before injuring his wrist].... Herm's Tampa Bay connection hasn't paid off: Steve White and Damien Robinson were flunks; Donnie Abraham has worked out O.K., so that's one out of three.... Everyone likes Dewayne Robertson, but what bothers me is that he took less than 70 percent of the snaps at Kentucky last season. Is it a stamina thing, or did they just like to rotate people a lot?... They're going to have a desperate situation at the guard spots if Dave Szott doesn't stay healthy. The guy on the other side, Brent Smith, hasn't played in, what, two years?... They lost some really good players this year and the year before. They've got some good ones too—[Curtis] Martin, Abraham, Pennington—but sooner or later the talent drain gets you."
