Felser has taken a lot of heat from people on this board in recent years, but I've always had great respect for his knowledge, insight, and writing. His contributions will be missed.
Still trying to figure this one out. Put his name in a book? Hit him over the head with a large tree trunk? Raise him to the power of some fixed number?
Do we then not give the (current) organization any credit for having the sense to get rid of those players? They ended up with draft picks for two of the three you mentioned (both from the Ravens, interestingly).
I know we all hate the Pats* and love ripping them for having such a sucky defense, but are we really that reluctant to say their defense played a pretty good game overall?
