They were obviously on the fence on this one, so Junior let a bull run over him on TV, the F.O. looked and remembered, "oh yeah, he's a freak", and signed his ass up.

I have lamented our former old linebackers as much as anyone, but Seau is definitely a freak of nature. I remember one of his last games where he was literally jumping up and down like a twelve year old trying to get back in the second half, while most normal players were draggin butt by that point.

One of a kind. Welcome back, Junior.

Welcome back!

Now that Slater is playing, Lockett is no longer needed.

I think that this a good thing. Having a vet like Jr. could help the younger guys during those tough games.

Heard this earlier today...this AM...I think good news as the D needs to have a vet to keep things together and take the D up a notch. I wonder if he will be playing a lot or some?? I still remember hearing "6 games" in him..with 12 plus playoffs that is a lot more. I still think he would be a great addition..with Lockett on the inactive list..he will be gone soon..Slater back in strong...Lockett gone.

I also don't expect to see him active until after the bye. It would be good to have him available for the five games after the bye, and then for the playoffs.

This might be a good move just having him around the locker-room and practice field for the next few weeks, even if he isn't active. Keep him to a very limited role and hopefully he can stay "fresh". Can we just please get him his ring this time round?

***PatsDeb*** · 10-04-2009, 11:04 PM

I don't really get this move. I like Junior and all, but I thought we were getting younger? Also, I don't think our run D is bad. It is those 3 and 7, 8, 9 or 10 that we still cannot get under control, and isn't Junior out on those types of plays?

I know this isn't what happened, and BB must have some logical reason for signing Junior, but I feel like Junior begged BB to take him back, and BB felt sorry for him and did so.

Count me among those not really understanding why we need Seau, unless we want to have a real chance to run the 3-4 for a dozen more snaps a game.

Maybe LB insurance is worth more OL/RB/S insurance.
