The exciting memory of our high-flying aerial assault of 2007 becomes more and more distant.

This post isn't a well-sourced, rational analysis. This post also isn't about lamenting the loss of a decent tight-end. He merely joins the shuffle of a loved OLB, decent half-back, promising defensive lineman, and another tight-end switching between only two cities. Maybe it's because I'm a layman football fan, but would anyone feel better if the team we happened to be shuffling players with wasn't known around the league as hosting a near-complete lack of talent? I feel sympathetic for the former 'hawks, being "fed" to the Lions, if you will (mmhmm, I'm not below that one), and uncertain about the ex-Lions we receive.

Soon you won't even know who to root for... do I want to see Julian hulk-out at Qwest and crack Matt's back for another season? The idea is so taboo I'm getting a kick out of it.

Anyone else noticing this strange rapport?
