Missing Champ Bailey...

[memphisskin]

It's obvious the trade is beneficial to both teams, my hope is that we meet them in the Super Bowl soon and settle it on the field.

As far as the debate about who is the more talented corner, I'd say Ty Law is probably the best just because he always seems to be making plays. That said, I think changing systems every year has severely stunted Champ's growth, and LaVar's as well. It takes time to foster trust and to really understand the point that coaches are trying to make, witness LaVar's statements about Marvin Lewis playing him at end. I can respect Champ wanting to leave the Skins because there's no way he can have the same passion that we fans do about the team because for him it is his real life and career. When Gibbs came back all of us welcomed him with open arms because we believe that Snyder finally has brought us stability. But it's a lot easier to judge from the outside looking in. From Champ's perspective things must look a lot differently, he witnessed a lot of turnover and this last move might seem brilliant to all of us but to him it might have been the straw that broke the camel's back. No matter.

In the end, we do lose a great corner but we pick up a darned good one in Springs. And we also get a great back in Portis, so I'll take my chances with CP.
