How's that working out for us?

Unless you're a JLC sky is always on the verge of falling type, it's hard to find too much fault with what the FO has done. Jim Zorn-check. Greg Blache-check. Draft-1/2 check but none of the draftees (outside of Brooks) was NEEDED to contribute and are a playoff team without any contribution outside of Horton. Taylor-He's been hurt on 2 random-freaky plays so I can't count that against them. Alexander-He's better than Rock but will be gone when Betts is healthy again. Hall-2 time pro bowler vs. a guy 75% of the board wouldn't have cared if he wasn't brought back to camp this year.

Amen. Who gives about Leigh Torrence. We got a two time pro bowler, arguably the best corner we have since Darrell Green. He has 3 picks already he's 24, and he can make plays. His attitude won't be a problem because were winning. ie Randy Moss. The FO has grown up alot the past few seasons and I tip my hat to them. In 8 wks the same people who talk about Hall's attidude and being a "cancer" will be talking about his browl jersey in Hawai next year.

i dont kow if he'll be in the pro bowl or a cancer this year, but i think it was a good move. Torrence was a year older, and more unproductive, they must have figured he had reached the peak or that he couldnt ascend to a level of raw talent that hall possesses. Im curious..if hall plays like a badass the rest of the sesason...does this bode well for the oft injured, and overpayed shawn springs?
