  3. I mean, I'm happy we have him and all. But am I really thankful for him? Eh. I guess. It's mostly a joke that we only have one decent, all-Pro caliber player on the whole team (with Cooley and Samuels hurt, and Haynesworth's issues staying on the field), and that's Fletcher.

    I think Jarmon will be a good player and I think Orakpo will be a great one, but so far, only really thankful that we have London.
