Lawrence Timmons

Yes he was his only bad year was last year before that he was playing great.

 

I don't think it's accurate to say that last year was "his only bad year" and before that he was playing "great". He had shown flashes of brilliance the first few years of his career and then would disappear or be a non-factor for games at a time. He's been much more consistent this year than he has at any point in his career.

 

Some players do require a little more patience than others. Remember how some were ready to write Troy off in his rookie season because he seemed lost out there? Of course the difference is that Troy became a bonafide superstar in year 2 and never looked back.

 

While i agree with you on timmons, i can't echo the rest of the post....a comment like one of the few bright spots takes away fromthr contributions of larry foote, ryan clarke, ike taylor, will allen, keenan lewis ect..... the defense on a whole has kept us above water, despite the lack of t/o's.
