Junior Seau hints at a return

by MaPatsFan on Jul 6, 2009 3:45 PM EDT in New England Patriots News

Chris Gasper of the Boston Globe comments on a Junior Seau return:

Junior Seau, who rode to the rescue of the Patriots last December, coming off the street and his surfboard to join New England for the final four games of the regular-season, told a San Diego radio station that he would evaluate playing in a 20th NFL season at the end of October or November.

We're supposed to be getting younger but, as Gasper points in the full link, you never know what will happen to our starters.

Junior's ring

Here’s how it will play out. Injuries pile up, Junior comes back – his speeches lighting a fire under the younger guys. They get hot, head to the playoffs, where Junior finally gets a Super Bowl ring to top off his career.

Only way I want Junior back

is if we’re devastated with injuries. I’d love to see the guy get a ring, but like I mentioned on the Willie topic, we’re getting younger and I’d rather not see our defense in such a bad shape that we need to call in guys off the street.

Isn’t this what we don’t want? Nothing against Junior, but I thought we were looking to stray far away from having too many old linebackers.

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!

Kinda makes you wonder who's stuffing the ballot box

The only way Junior ought to be back on the Pats is if half a dozen guys have season ending injuries. Sure, his intangibles are great, but intangibles don’t make very many tackles.
