I'm neither appalled nor impressed by Jim Turner's practices, but I do have to say it is a bit strange that anyone would claim that we're going for high-character guys seeing as ZT instantly hired the guy and eventually brought in one of his former lackeys (with more to follow, perhaps?). Bonus points to the fact that someone managed to point out that Marvin Lewis is the guy who would hire low-character guys, too. New dey, eh?

Even still, I doubt Turner has enough of his former pals around to bully a veteran who spent his entire career here while Turner is the new kid in town.  Plus, John Jerry is one step away from being back on the couch and Richie Incognito has been reduced to picking fights with non pro athletes.  Anyways, it's not really in the bully narrative to go to a new town and start picking on someone popular and who actually seems fit to handle being in the NFL.
