I don't think we have to read too much into Spikes' comments to understand that London Flether-Baker won't be back with us next season:
Not having Fletcher as a teammate next season would be especially difficult because of the bond the two linebackers have developed over the past four seasons. The two men found it hard to keep it together before taking the field in Baltimore for the season finale.
"He was emotional before the game," said Spikes of Fletcher. "I couldn't even look at him. I might have lost it."
That's why prior to the last game of 2006 Spikes had some words for his defensive teammates.
"One of the things I told the guys is to play every play like it's your last, mainly because it's the last time we'll ever be together as a team," Spikes said. "And you never know who is watching for the first time so you want to leave a good impression."
