When he was good, he was good. I don't care what they say about him. He might be able to get it back for a year if motivated on a new team and trying to show he belongs. It's his long term health that's concerning.

Someone has to step up on D or in that lb room, and they got big shoes to fill.

I'm with you jj, on all points.  I will say that I think Preston Brown will step into the leader role, and do nicely.  According to reports, they've been discussing this move for weeks, which made the Preston Brown signing make even more sense now.  I alluded to this possibility in the thread about his extension.

I also think he doesn't leave Oaktown without a deal.  We all know Paulie liked him, but I also recall Gruden gushing about him during a game a couple of years ago.  I look for him to have somewhat of a bounce back season out there too.
