you never see linemen smiling on TV because they have to flip that switch and turn into a monster on gameday. once the fuse burns out on that switcg its hard to go back. it happens with everybody on the line |

I look at Kreutz was more of an insurance policy.
Sometimes coaches don't know how a player is going to do in a game and especially during the long season. So they get insurance. Unfortunately the insurance policy wasn't working out. |

he didnt lose his starting job. the only thing that suggests that is a group of fans that are trying to find drama in nothing |

I was there live Canton endzone seats ..so i got a good look when Kreutz initially went down...and then i watched DLP...and thought.. oh no here we go!...but that didnt happen and we went on to beat the Texans...I really find it odd, that our only 2 losses were with Kreuts at center...kinda strange huh.. |
