I think we miss Del a lot, and I have been saying this. The reason is that he was the one guy who had worked will Nellie a lot, and also knew the offense much better. Plus I saw Del under Avery a lot, and he was always calming him down, telling him something. One of the main weaknesses of Avery has been that he doesn't know what to do once things turn bad, and he believes getting mad is the only way, not realising that he is reflecting insecurity to the team. Del was great at offering the other image, the "don't worry, we have an answer" image that Avery has never found.
