ALL stats with VERY LITTLE impact. Between the two of them they have a combined 200 years in the NFL, 20,000 tackles, and 400,000 yards passing...and are still IRRELEVANT. Is there any kind of trophy for longevity?

Re: Fletcher-Baker=Bledsoe
fletcher-baker is the defensive equivalent of curtis martin...... someone who just does their damn job, teaches, and has fun..........
for buffalo to be successful it'd be a shame to let him go, but if he believes in jauron's system i'd see him in buffalo another 2-5 years

Re: Fletcher-Baker=Bledsoe
I give him credit for being such a warrior but I have never been impressed with this guy. He has one of the positions on the defense where you are given the most opportunity to make the most impact. That is why he has so many tackles every year but most of them are beyond the LOS....sometimes well beyond it. I have seen him be taken out of the play or missed tackles when things mattered the most. Maybe I have him living in the shadow of Speilman, Cowart, Conlan, etc. but ever since we the Gregg Williams days we have had deplorable defenses for the most part and he has been there for everyone of them. He is one of the common denominators to our ****ty defenses, it's just that he is everyone's little darling because he says all of the right things and throws a smokescreen with his stats. He barely ever makes a play beyond the LOS. Time to move on to a younger, faster stud in the middle and let him and his big contract move on. That's my opinion and I am sticking to it.

Re: Fletcher-Baker=Bledsoe
And if his play was off a little bit this year Church, it could be in part attributed to his Mom dying last summer.
It had to be on his mind every time he stepped onto the field. The guy's only human.

Plus Fletcher was the defensive captain on the 2000 Rams Superbowl team, another trait I feel is valuable to our young defense.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

plus the fact his tackle totals are beyond the LOS is becuase thats his territory........ if he was gonna be hedging the LOS and behind it, he'd be playing an end position, or could still be an LB but playing something closer to a 5-2
anywho......... L F-B is about as valuable as any member on the team....... honestly spikes to me hasnt been impressive at all on a consistant basis (injuries haven't helped his case. this reminds me of john abraham... someone who didn't play certain parts for his own financial being)....... plus that ring on L F-B is enough motivation to show that he is a proven winner.

Re: Fletcher-Baker=Bledsoe
If Fletch hits Free Agency he will be a target for many teams... and will leave a big hole for us...let this unit play together lets build some more chemistry, lets kick some ass.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
