So we groomed and prepped him back into game-shape to potentially help a rival seal our fate? Even if he doesn't see the field (which I have no doubt that he will, considering GB doesn't have the strongest D-line), he's armed with Seattle's playbook and all of our schemes :evil:
Pete was misled into being kind and granting Harrison his wish, and now this could end up blowing up in his face. Damn you, Snacks! :evil:
Yeah, my first reaction was GB got him just for some inside info, the playbook, schemes, which players might be a little more nicked up than is publicly known, etc. It's more of an annoyance now, the coaches will install some changes if we play GB in the championship game, but it will suck up time better spent on other things.
I'm not so sure Snacks will see much PT though, maybe a few situational plays, but his best days are well behind him, and there were some good reasons why our coaches didn't want him on the field.
In the end, I think Pete was between a rock and a hard place here. You can't keep a player who is so vocal about wanting out. For whatever reason, the relationship went south, and it's unfortunate Snacks chose this path at the end of his career. It's cheap and classless, but that's just how some guys are built.
