He played a year with TWO high ankle sprains. He bitched about not getting his bonus, but he made every freaking game. Thats why Jim payed him his bonus, he played every game and played for the team
Do you guys remember the offense that Faulk was a part of with the Rams? I loved Edge but Faulk was every bit as valuable to an offense as he was. Just a different kind of back, not really an in between the tackles type of guy. If there was an issue with him in that offense it was on our coaching staff and how they used him, not on his ability. He tore it up in LA and they took home the trophy.
