Bring back Winfield[W]e are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace...
[F]or no one chooses to be at war, or provokes war, for the sake of being at war; any one would seem absolutely murderous if he were to make enemies of his friends in order to bring about battle and slaughter...

Re: Time to bring back Drayton Florence
Florence had a pick 6 in preseason that I saw a highlight of and I remember thinking that he looked like he had gas left in the tank.

Winfield checked in as the fifth-best cornerback against the pass in the league. Here’s, in part, what PFF wrote about him: “His game is built upon allowing catches for short yardage and making stops in coverage — evidenced by four complete seasons in which he is yet to allow more than 10 yards per reception into his coverage.”
But the most interesting nugget from the site: “It shouldn’t be forgotten that Winfield gets the job done in coverage and hasn’t allowed a touchdown in the past three years.”
Winfield fared better when it came to evaluating cornerbacks against the run: He was ranked first, and it wasn’t even close. There’s a tendency in sports to saddle reputations on players and keep building on those reputations even when the performance doesn’t back it up. But in Winfield’s case, his play validates his status as one of the league’s top corners against the run.

Hasn't given up a TD in 3 years?
I don't know if Aaron "If you don't have a big Cornerback, you're in trouble" Williams went an entire half without giving up a TD.
