From very early on, right after the Walker trade but before any great strides were made on the field, I simply felt I was witnessing something special being assembled. At that juncture, I wasn't exactly sure of the final destination, but just knew great things were in store.
For the next couple of years they made steady progress. Then, in 1991 when we went into Washington and beat a dominant, 11-0 and eventual SB Champion Redskins team, I was confident it was just a matter of time before we would be hoisting another Lombardi.
