A Few Words About London Fletcher....

[calia]

While there were a few moments this season when I was concerned that he may have lost a step, but on balance, my view is that he was yet again terrific -- both in terms of skills and, very importantly, in terms of leadership. He's weighing what to do (I wonder what Ronde Barber is doing myself): Fletcher Will Take Time To Consider Future.

I hope he comes back. And when he retires after his 237th season, I would love to see him on staff (if his on the field coaching is any indication, he could do well in that role).

But more than anything, if we have seen the last of him on the field in B&G, my hat's off to the guy who gives 100% on every play, every week, and represents the best in what an NFL player can be. A class act. Incredibly dedicated to the community. And a great role model for us all.

Not meant to be a farewell -- more of a "please come back."
