Jimmy: Now, Howie, you'll like this story. When I first got into the league, I mistakenly was trying to trade anybody to get some picks. I talked to Al Davis about trading him Michael Irvin. Al told me I didn't want to do that. He said some players score touchdowns, and some others will help you win games no matter how good they are at a particular position. But certain individuals are the difference between winning and losing games because they can put the ball in the end zone. That always stuck with me. Now, I look at Reggie Bush and maybe he is only going to touch the ball 15 times a game, but that one touchdown or two touchdowns that he either sets up or scores is going to be the difference between the Saints winning or losing a game. Now, Mario Williams may end up being a great player, maybe, I don't know. But he's not going to score any touchdowns and he's not going to be the difference between winning and losing a game.
