Save that IR spot for someone else.

This.

I am calling PUP.

On the other hand this time in '13 many people thought Whitworth was in big trouble because he had not practiced any in the preseason.  I think he was even listed as doubtful for opening day. He not only played, but he also went on to have one of the best years of his career.

I remember it well because I was one of the ones who thought Whit would never be the same.  I had seen the exact same thing happen to both Levi Jones and Willie Anderson.  Both were elite tackles who failed to regain their form after knee injuries.

So now, as I sit here and worry about Burfict, I try to concentrate on the positives like Whitworth.

Burfict was so good he transformed our defense.  He and Geno are really the only two players we have at that level.  

We HAVE TO get him back.
