Connorbear Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Damn am I torn on this one. He is my favorite Bear and I would love to see him retire here but it is clear he has lost a step. Further, it is clear Payne is no FS but he did look very good at SS. This is going to be a tough decision up at Halas Hall. My favorite quote in the article: Said center Olin Kreutz, one of two players remaining with more tenure: ''He's one of those guys that once you have him in your locker room, you should never let him leave.'' http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-bear26.article Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 That had the tone of a eulogy. I don't think he is through yet. I have been a proponent for platooning him for a while. He keeps getting these calf injuries because he never leaves the field. He has known issues with fatigue and re-hydration, yet he never leaves the field. A lot of coaches monitor snaps played. I think this may be a good thing for him and for the development of younger players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
