I get the chuckles every time I hear this now! Who does Mike get along with lol? For that matter...is there a single player on the current roster to say as much? Haven't heard it...
I think it's an important factor, especially for those hoping Manning is our next QB. Manning from all accounts is a good guy who wants a good working relationship with everyone. Why would he have anything to do w/ Mike Shanahan after the McNabb fiasco etc etc?
Actually, virtually every player on the team when an opportunity comes up..."sings his praises" in an interview setting. AND Mark Schlereth of ESPN loves the guy and says so often....publicly....on TLIS. Basically I think he's more of a dick to the press...cause he likes it....It's just fun!

:offtopic:Pure speculation on my part, but I'm thinking Shanahan might relinquish considerable control to Peyton Manning in order to reestablish or reaffirm his own credibility as a top-flite coach. I'm not suggesting we sign Manning, because I think there is too much risk involved with making an investment in him under the circumstances. Nevertheless, Shanahan may view it differently; he might see Manning as his last, best opportunity to win another Super Bowl.

I remember reading a scouting report of him when he was at LSU & he was said to be "jekyl & hide" with teamates. Just watching him on the field he has never seemed to be much of a team guy. He doesn't seem to congratulate teamates much, but is quick to celebrate & let you know he hit somebody.
I always wondered how coachable he is & how he prepares w/others. Without knowing any more than what I see on tv, the guy comes across as being close to the opposite of London Fletcher w/regards to team concept & leadership.
There was a running discussion of wide receivers in the Keenan McCardell Curse thread, and Michael Westbrook's name came up. Some very good information was posted on Michael and his tenure in Washington.
Like Landry, he was a workout freak, but did not get along especially well with some teammates and coaches. Some of the comments about Landry are revealing a personality profile very similar to Westbrook.
The two players are strikingly similar in many ways; Landry may be a unique physical specimen, just as Westbrrok was, but he may also be unhappy in his current football environment, also just as Westbrrok was.

I say give him a one or two year deal and see if he can play 16 games

Read it. Sounds like a mentally-handicapped child scared to death of needles and "going to sleep."
I'll be shocked if he's still in the league beyond this calender year.

Yes, the grammar is somewhat off but, it seems like there's some Arrington-itis (conspiracy) going on. If the team thinks the alternate procedures are unproven, unsupported, and/or costly, be up front and tell the player. The team may think that his body isn't responding well since the initial surgery didn't help. I don't know. Now they've suggested a more drastic procedure to perhaps 'scare him' or throw him on the scrap heap. I'd like to know of other players who've had this surgery, successful or not. That's why it's all about the guaranteed money for NFL players. The last thing this team needs is anonther hole in the secondary. Damn.
