He can still play physically and still be the enforcer without getting involved in these other things. He just won't. I love that he hates Pittsburgh. I believe he probably hates them as much as we fans do. Just keep it clean. Don't instigate and don't take the bait.
Very fair take.
Can definitely get behind a reform of his impulses (if that's even possible; certainly not as easy thing to do for a lot of people, regardless of how much money is at stake - and I bring up money, because that's a common take on these matters - "he's making millions, and can't stop being selfish while he hurts the team....I just don't think that's how the human mind or emotions work when it comes to acting on impulse.)
Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt the team. It definitely does, I can agree with you on that. I agree with you on your take to clean it up though for the team's benefit. I'm also saying that even if he doesn't change his ways, what he does manage to give the team is of some value in terms of wins/loses, and for my own selfish fan experience, I like watching him when he's in there. I think his contract is not a make or break issue in the grand scheme of things, and with fear of repeating myself, even at far from the best version of himself, what he brings to the team is better than anybody filling out the final linebacker spot on the roster.
