Alright enough with the negativity for a moment. I just wanted to give some major props to Fletcher who's proving to be a great acquisition.
Personally I loved this move when we made it and I was shocked that some people didn't like the move. The guy is a tackling machine and he's a leader on and off the field.
Obviously his age is the only concern, but I'm confident he can be a very solid player for us for the next 2-3 seasons. It's amazing to see the instant impact he's had on this defense.
London is easily one of the best aquisitions to come to this team. What he brings in hands on and field presence is phenominal.
Important fan tip:
Good teams win, even when they don't play especially well............Even Great teams struggle when there entire O line is injured

Yea he had a great game. I'll have to even give credit to Warner for playing a tuff game with such a bum elbow and he earned some respect from me.

I think Taylor is our C on defense personally.
Nice to have a home grown pick turn out like Sean Taylor is right now. He's just hitting the peak in his performance where he will win us games hands down and not leave it up to the Offense.
Fletcher is a close 2nd with the physical intimidation and speed that man brings the wood all day every day. Great play maker!

I think siging free agents is a bad idea. We should build through the draft. That's how good teams do it. Fletcher is a good example of this... wait no he isn't.
Fletch is a beast and proof that informed and strategic free agent signings are part of building a winning team too.

Fletcher and Mcintosh are a damn sight better than Marshall and Holdman. Fletcher single-handedly kept them from using the ground game to wear us out. They were running that power trap or whatever to their left side, catching Carter rushing the passer, and London was the only man to prevent big gains and he answered the call.

Fletcher is a man in the middle. He is really a great middle linebacker. I'm glad we signed him this offseason. I did not think one man could change a whole unit. I know that he is not doing it all by himself but gosh he is a big time player.

Fletcher was a beast yesterday no question about it. He was freakin' everywhere. The only thing he could have done better was to avoid mouthing off to the 'Cards sideline, which invoked a very costly personal-foul penalty, which ultimately paved the way for a Phoenix TD. However, this is such an emotional game and it sucks that these guys can't blow off a little emotion every now and then as long as it's reasonably respectable. I pray the NFL doesn't become NASCAR in that respect.

He is big time in the hole.

He is big time in the hole.Me too.
I loved the extra effort on Fletcher's TD. The way he launched himself into the endzone (hopefully) sent a message to the entire defense saying "this is what you need to do to win games!"
I think he's a great leader for our young players and he should leave a great impact even after he's gone, which hopefully won't be too soon.
