By the way, are you really trying to judge Terrence Newman's worth by the number of interceptions? Reading some of your comments, it certainly seems like you are. Have you really watched Newman play before this season? Newman isn't a huge playmaker, but more turnovers don't make a better cornerback.

No, no. Just forget about Newman. I was just using him to satire what was said about Taylor. I was just trying to show statistics (like sacks, like interceptions) don't always show how effectively a defensive player is.

Also, I would love to have Jason Taylor here and this is coming from the biggest Foreskin Hater around. He's been slowed down significantly by injuries and his off-season "training regiment", but like Caseman stated earlier... his mere presence is just as, or even more important than the numbers he will put up statistically.. similar to Erick Dampier for the Mavericks.

Between Newman and Samuel, they are the top corners of the division. But yes, that was what I was trying to say about Taylor.
