Q: Has there been any thought to the situation involving S-Bob Sanders?
A: This is simply bad luck. He is no different a player – and I think everybody saw that in the couple of games he played this year – than when he was Defensive Player of the Year in the NFL (in 2007). He's just had a lot of tough luck with injury. We have invested a lot of money in him and I see no reason why we would – assuming this next procedure goes as expected and there are no complications, and the knee continues to improve as it has – I wouldn't see why we would not bring him back. That, to me, just seems to be foolish. Luck plays a role in this business. There's no two ways about that. There's no reason to believe Bob won't be the same player he was after these injuries, as long as he continues with rehab and works out religiously, and as I told him, with a good offseason program that's injury-free and rehab-free, if he can get back with a real good feeling about his ability to lay it on the line, he'll be an even better player than he was before he was injured. I think, barring unforeseen circumstance, Bob Sanders figures prominently in our plans.
