Sure, Bradshaw is explosive, but Ward came out of nowhere and carried this team in the first half of last season after Tiki so rudely abandoned us. I say we make it Wind and Fire. I agree with you that we must bury the Earth. Greg,

It's gotta make them tense. In that regard, however, I guess you could say that Ward (or for that matter, Kijana Carter) would have that effect. All of this is very perplexing, yet so much preferred to Dayne and Tiki, or whatever they were nicknamed!

But, I do think that the best argument in favor of Jacobs is that he adds a toughness/physicality to our team that would otherwise be lacking. Just look at the number of times that he's gotten poked in the eye or punched by a defender in frustration. I also think that our coaching staff (perhaps justifiably) has little faith in Bradshaw's ability to pick up the blitz; as a result I think that Ward will be in on the majority of obvious passing situations.
