Yup agreed

well last I heard from him……he thinks not being able to get a job has something to do with his position in the players union.

I actually believe that’s got something to do with it. The guy can still play, I think. Unless he’s asking for too much, I’m surprised no team even wants him as a back up. As far as I know, he hasn’t even gotten invites for a visit.

Dungy’s a good man and a good coach, but he needs to get over himself. He made his point. Rex Ryan doesn’t have to change just because he thinks Rex should. It’s time for him to move on.

Is my memory wrong?

But we actually had a pretty good Center before Mawae, who decided to leave the Jets and sign with the Bengals for some crazy reason?

Before Mawae, it was Roger Duffy. He was with the team for 8 years, but I don’t know if he started at center all those years. He then played for Pittsburgh until 2001.
