So I doubt this vindication you feel is necessary will come to pass.
Trotter will stick with what he's good at, blitzing down the pipes and the occaisional over-the-middle pass defense. Nothing more. Good as he is, he is not the right player to spy Vick.

He said that Tommy Polley, strong-side linebacker on the Rams, was a little nancy boy who was no bigger than Todd Pinkston (6'3" 180 officially, which I find to be very generous).If that size is supposed to be Pinkstons than it seems generous to me as well, i know he added some weight a couple off season's ago, but as a rookie he was listed at 6'2" 160, which judging by those little chicken legs of his seemed generous then too...I haven't heard Trotter's statement's about Polley, but the guys isn't that good really. Nonetheless there is no cause for publicly denigrating another player.
Now he gets to play against Vick and be made a fool of, since he's the middle linebacker and will be trying to bust up every play. I sure hope Jeremiah likes to run, cos he's gonna be spinning around so much he'll be dizzy. See, that's what happens to you when you talk trash on other professional athletes in public.Judging this on Jim Johnson's gameplan against Minnesota in Week 2 of the regular season, I'm gonna say that Trotter won't face Vick directly at all. It'll be Kearse lined up in the Joker, and really that makes a lot of sense, he's faster than Trotter and often makes plays downfield, even when he's been beaten while rushing, or when he has overpursued an RB.

How about the second walk off the field by Moss? Of course they would have had a too many men on the field penalty, but that sort of is a nice epitaph for the Vikings season.I don't like Moss at all, but this play was in no way his fault and though they didn't pull off the fake (it looked horribly sloppy) he made the right decision given the circumstnaces. If he hadn't and a penalty had been called, the Eagles would have anticipated a second fake...then again given the result maybe it WOULD have been better for the Vikes after all, assuming they decided to just go for the field goal instead...
I still think in the Eagles game the Fumble of L.E. smith which leaped into Micthells hands for a TD was the best. You know things are going thier way when that happensTrue...that was...something else...but it's L.J. smith...
That L.J. Smith play was absurd. I jumped out of my seat in excitement when I saw the ball squirt out, and dropped back into my chair when I saw that hot dog Freddie Mitchell catch it in the end zone.But you got your wish on Mitchell's last potential TD when he DID fumble out of the end zone...
