Cskin Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 http://espn.go.com/nfl/news/2001/0827/1244678.html Although I like the guy, I'm not sure I want to be a fan of the team that trots him out there and allows him to suffer a career ending.....quality of life reducing injury. But, when he was healthy.....he certainly was a presence in the middle of that lineup. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 Bryant can't play anymore. You feel for him and Robert Edwards, two players that just couldn't come back physically to play the game even though both were entering their primes. The 49ers re-signed Stubblefield as insurance at the tackle spot because Walsh/Donohue knew it was a long shot for Bryant to come back. No, the Redskins need healthy ballplayers. I'll take a 33 year old DT in the final round of cuts for a year, but the guy has to at least be able to take the field without being in severe pain.

Cskin Posted August 27, 2001 Author Share Posted August 27, 2001 It would be safe to assume that the 49ers, as well as Bryant individually, have exausted all the medical avenues before coming to this decision. It's a shame....he was an above average D-lineman. I agree with you Bulldog, I'd prefer we sign a serviceable DT cut from someone else (preferably the D-line heavy Titans or Broncos as examples) who has the fire in his belly and something to prove.

Art Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Bryant couldn't pass his physical and is likely through with football. I'm not sure he'll resurface this season. ------------------ Doom is in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
