hell yes. the only bright spot on our team along with andy lee and shaun hill to a little extent. if manny lawson can return healthy, the defense may justbe all right. just gotta completely revamp that offense in the offseason.

He is the real deal. And you know he's playing with a cast on his hand, right? All during film, I'm calling him 'Bam-Bam,' like from the Flintstones because he hits everything. He is the truth. All I know is his last name is Willis. You tell him, '85 said, man, you're the truth." -Chad Johnson
