With training camp under way and no sign of Seau, is it safe to assume that he is done? Great career, but unfortunate that he did not win a SB.

My guess, like you, surfing in the Pacific and talking to BB about a comeback - Mostly surfing.

I hope he's surfing and enjoying his retirement. I'm in super dick mode today and I know I'm going to get flamed for this but I, for one, do not want him back. I appreciate what he's done for us but I've seen this defense get completely gassed at the end of two huge games. I want our defense as young and as fast as we can get it. If anything, I'd rather him come back in the event that injuries ravage our LB corps. But, if that doesn't happen, I want Junior to enjoy his retirement.

Again, it wasn't the old linebackers blowing coverages and dropping easy interceptions in the Super Bowl.

I know it wasn't. That's why I didn't say "these linebackers" and instead said "this defense". But even you would have to admit that we were burned over the middle far too often last year. The Eagles and the Ravens, in particular, exposed this. In the Eagles game, A.J. Feeley (yes him) threw over the middle against us all day and had no problem with it. The minute he threw against Samuel or Hobbs (not sure which one it was), it was picked off. I don't know if it's the bend-but-don't-break defense which made that area seem particularly weak or if it was the old legs or if it was both. What I do know is I don't want a corps or linebackers that are closing in on their 40's fast. I appreciate what Junior did for us, but I think we will be better off with a younger defense as a whole.

The problem was that Junior was playing full time at the end; Would you rather have a part time Junior or a part time young but not good-at-all lb? thats the real question.
I dont think anyone wants Junior as a starter; but he'd be great as the 6th or 7th LB (and his leadership / enthusiasm)

I don't know what kind of shape he's in but I'd like to see him back as a situational LB and mentor to the new guys. Rodney's going to have his hands full with the DBs. Vrabel and AD don't strike me as particularly communicative guys, and according to certain "inside sources" LOL, Bruschi doesn't go out of his way to mentor younger players. Also, I'm not at all sold that we're going to see an upgrade at LB, at least not until later in the season.

Why you mother ***...
I'm cool with him being gone also. Liked the guy a lot, but it's time for a new batch of LBs to get this thing done. However, if we are in need for an experienced LB sometime during the year, I hope Seau answers his phone.
I've read that Junior is a workout warrior and keeps in great shape 365 days a year,so he should be ready to go if called.Used in certain situations,I'd like to see him back.My 2 Cents...

Yes, they were being burned over the middle more than elsewhere. However, I view that as a product of a relatively poor pass defending quartet of 2 inside linebackers and 2 safeties who really aren't cover safeties at this stage in their careers. Had the rookie safety been NFL ready and starting from day 1, I suspect things would have been much different on a lot of those third downs.
