Hall of Fame show (Roaf in, Shields out)

He's especially awesome in my mind because we got him after a nasty ACL tear when he was with New Orleans. I love Will Shields, dont get me wrong, but when Roaf missed a few games with that hamstring strain our offense simply crumbled. Trent Green was not the same QB without Willie protecting his blind side.

When he was out, it hurt and it hurt bad. The scary thing about Roaf is that as destructive as he was for us, he was playing a lot of games on a bad wheel. He was awesome, and he was a fucking warrior. Its a damn shame we didnt have the defense to help him get a ring.
