As for Bowen, yeah he could hit but his coverage was a little suspect. Yeah he had a few good games, but he also gave up too many plays. I would rather have had Ryan Clark -who was a true blue collar kind of guy- making the money that Bowen was getting to stay on the sidelines.

Royal had impressive numbers at LSU but for some reason he didn't translate that production to the next level.
We regret the fact we didn't get more out of Bowen because he came as restricted and cost us a pick. He's mainly remembered here for the hit he put on Trung in practice. I happened to be at Redskin Park that day, everyone was looking for good things from him. The knee injury sort of derailed his career here.
