I want him back. What happened this year says a lot about him. He was under the microscope after last year, and he was tagged as being too stubborn. Well, he sucked it up, showed some humility, and has put together schemes all year that maximize the talent he has on the field, as opposed to the schemes he'd prefer to implement. He'd love to blitz more than he does, but that just wasn't working last year, and to the surprise of a lot of people, he's drawn back on the blitz, even though, on the whole, his front four can't put a lot of pressure on the QBs (Andre being the major exception, of course). As someone has said, the defense is the major reason why we're still in the playoff hunt going into week 15, and it's been his coordination of it that is the reason why we're playing so well. So, we need to keep him. Let him continue to establish an identity for this team's defense.
