But I seriously doubt he would on purpose call bad plays to a given situation just to make it less likely that he would have to tackle somebody... if that is what you meant?!

Maybe- Maybe not. He hasn't engaged a lot all year..

But don't you think that if he had been doing that SP and GW would have torn him a new one instead of putting him on the field at key situations? They certainly would have noticed that type of a tendency in the film study sessions...

I would guess personally that his lack of tackling last season was due to the fact that he wasn't 100% in any of the games he played - if your knees aren't working it is very hard to create the momentum necessary to successfully tackle a NFL player.

This seems like a two man race between Fin and 65.

I think Vilma still has somegas in the tank. Just needs a good coach.

Big Willy "Ain't done nuthin lately" Smith; on the other hand.... pack yo bags!

Go after Osi Umenyiora......NO. His cost is too high & he's not even the best DE on his own team.

OUCH!
