This team misses its leaders.

Then this team aught to go farg itself if nobody else wants to step up.

Hugh is NOT on the team. Sure he hangs around, but he is not a player anymore.

He is IN THE LOCKER ROOM and ON THE FIELD with the team. You're not talking about on the field, you're talking about leadership in the locker room.

he was on the radio locally here about an hour ago. so i am not sure he is there now.

he's not on the team anymore. he's a normal employee, just like the guys selling you $25 hats at the pro shop.

Agreed. But when you lose three guys who were vocal leaders for several years (count Hugh however you'd like) it's not like someon just instantly steps into that role. It would be great if someone did, but that's not usually the way it works.

Ike is definitely missed in that room.  He commanded respect from everyone even though he was a career backup.  He's the kind of guy who has limited talent and makes every bit of it.  Too bad that Hoyda T.O. didn't have Ike's heart.

As long as Chad has some gas left in the tank, I'd definitely take him back.  Character guys who produce are increasingly rare in the NFL and Chad's one of them.

I disagree about Douglas.  He might be hanging around the locker room some but that's entirely different than strapping the pads on and going out the tunnel.   IMO, they miss the old Hugh a lot more than the shell of a player he was last season.

Preach on!

Comparing hugh to beer vendors is ridiculous. He's on the team as much as the coaches are. He IS in the locker room before every game, on the sidelines during most games and in the locker room with them at halftime. He's part of the team like part of the coaching staff. 

So he wouldn't be in a PLAYERS only meeting.

Yeah I know.  Everything you don't agree with is rediculous.  Or ludacris.  Or proposterious.  Well here's a right back at you. 

He's not a part of the coaching staff and he's not on the roster.  He is a member of the organization but he is not on the team, therefore he is no different than a beer vendor, ticket taker or towel boy except for the fact that since he is so recently removed from the team itself, he gets the extra perks of having some additional access to the team that other team employees may not enjoy.

I can't believe nobody mentioned Jermaine Mayberry.  Quickly forgotten.

[General_Failure]

He's a backup on an equally crappy team. What about him?
