He certainly is. 5.5 sacks and 23 INT's in 6 seasons. Pro Bowler and thorn in Ben's side.

Drafted in '98, he played here 5 years before spurning the Marvin hire, wanting to play for a "contender" (the Bills were terrible in the 2000's) at a price the Bengals chose to not match. That dude was an absolute wrecking ball at LB.
I almost mentioned him, but I didn't think of him as a short timer for some reason. He definitely belongs on the list. Possibly the best Bengals LB I've seen...and that includes Tez...although I'm sure people with short memories or recency bias may disagree. TKO was a monster.

He was with us for 6 years. He did have a good year for New Orleans, helping them make their first playoff berth in 9 years.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
