Way to go Merriman! For only playing half the season, he sure did show his skills. (Leber Who) To bad they did not start RIvers last year, maybe we would have back to back rookie of the year awards? LIGHTS OUT!

Obviously when a player wins rookie of the year they and their team is exited. But the fans are more exited. We now know that "LIGHTS OUT" is the linebacker of our future and he's going to be a good one.
