Maybe when he's not abusing children, he can have an impact on the defense!

Hey kid, let's play get the bag off yer head before brain damage sets in. Yaayyy!!

Classic Shannahan reclamation project. I was hoping he'd learned his lesson with this kind of thing. On the bright side, D. Scott makes Fat Al seem like a choirboy by comparison.

He's a Raiders or Cowboys' kind of player.......except he was signed by Washington

Guess Haslett ('HAAZELETT' as Spurrier called him) saw a lot of promise in Scott playing with those Florida Tuskers
