If the OP's assessment of the Woodson situation is right then I think he could potentially be a good FS for this season. He may have lost a step but...
I was born in SF but I only lived there until the age of a year and change, when I moved to southern Connecticut and have been there ever since. Being born in the Bay Area has nothing to do with being a fan, though. I am a fan because I love the mystique, the Raider image and the late legend Al Davis.
