Cameron Jordan Comments on Trading Hicks before the game
So sticking your head in the sand makes it not true??
I love the Saints too, but it doesn't change the fact that a lot of the NFL's players lack passion and love money.
Uh oh. Youre really gonna piss em off now

Respectfully, disagree.
Certainly, earnings orientation is more apparent among some in the NFL, but I feel that is more a product of the highly publicized and virtually transparent terms of player and coach contracts. These contracts are, to both the payee and the public, probably the strongest barometer of their rank among the best players in the world, and you'd be hard pressed to suggest many other professions in which salaries of the entire organization are readily available to every stakeholder. You can't really believe that college players don't receive benefits which aren't publicly disclosed, but I can prove this no more than you can prove that collegiate athletes "care" more than their professional counterparts. The difference between the two is that compensation outside of those classified as academically proposed violates current NCAA regulations. So, outside of sporadic reports about crab legs or paying mama's mortgage, we aren't delivered the same message from college level about compensation. I do think it's unfair for question the heart of professional players just because of the public nature of their compensation though. These guys sacrifice everything for what they do: injuries impact their livelihood; weights, nutrition, film, practice, all at intensity >>>>>> college; claw for practice squad spots; commute interstate or uproot their entire families with no true long-term stability. You can't question the commitment of NFL players just as I can't say college players play to get laid. It's just that the Haynesworths and Bryants at professional level are more public in their comments and terms of compensation.

Not really.
He has a sack, 2 QB hits, 11 QB hurries, 7 stops for loss, and two passes batted down.
He's by far our best and most consistent player on defense.
