I definitely miss the RRR. It definitely felt like you really got to see who those players were and their relationships, made the team feel more personal.
As for Mike Rob...yeah totally miss that guy. I thought maybe they were going to play some game by cutting him, and then trying to re-sign him for a salary-friendly number (or does it not work that way?). Just seems weird that if this is the year to make a run for the SB (given the next 2 years, we could lose some key players if the deals don't work out) we'd give up a guy this good and was a big part of our run-first offense.
I feel like Marshawn's lack of production so far (it's not bad, but just not as awesome as we've come to expect) has a lot to do with not having Mike Rob in front of him..but that's just my feeling.
I guess maybe they wanted to solidify RW as the Captain.
