Rich Tandler at the Warpath Insider puts our current Pearl Harbor Crew in perspective:

Scout.com: Pearl Harbor Crew II

Certainly if our guys don't get it together they will derail our Super Bowl championship aspirations. I remember that Bobby Beathard made a trade in 1983 to get cornerback Anthony Washington from the Steelers, I think during the season. He wasn't able to stem the tide agains the Raiders in the Super Bowl, however.

Hopefully Springs gets back here healthy enough to make a difference. Hopefully, the secondary people will come around as they learn a system so complicated that many current players don't fully understand it according to Springs (probably referring to his comrades in the defensive backfield).

I don't think you can trade TJ Duckett after all we gave up for him - he is insurance against a Portis injury, and once Duckett learns the system he will be a force in our offense and a confounding change of pace from Portis and Betts for defenses.
