He outsmarted some offenses but this week will be rough. Head to head with Robinson? A PROBOWL FB who breaks jaws and shoulders.. Then Beast behind him… Mix that with a fast agile QB and offensive scheme… He’ll be worn down fast.

Just who’s jaw and shoulder did he break? Did I miss something?

Pshh I wouldn’t want to sign up for that. I wish him the best, sometimes being smart is better than being good. That’s where he is right now as a seasoned vet. Good luck brother although I won’t be mad if you struggle I’m a Hawks fan..

How can you play in the east and not get noticed? If he was on the Cards or Hawks or SD or some other West team I could see the whole no respect thing.

He’d be a winner as a head coach and a tough as nails d-coordinator.

Do you here bmore fans comparing? More importantly do you hear anyone else on god’s green earth comparing them? They are both HOF linebackers, get over yourself already.

Fletcher: 15 seasons, 88 tackles/year, 23 int, 18 forced fumbles, 12 fumble recoveries

Ray Lewis: 17 seasons, 92.5 tackles/year, 31 int, 19 forced fumbles, 20 fumble recoveries

He’s always one of the top linebackers in the league, has never missed a game, is the true definition of a leader — yet he gets selected as an alternate (at best). What more does London have to do?

His production doesn’t rise to Ray Lewis’ level, but he is in the same ballpark as Urlacher. His durability is unquestionable.

The lack of Pro Bowls for this guy is a travesty. I doubt his candidacy for the Hall of Fame will be taken as seriously as it should (not necessarily arguing his case, but his candidacy should be seriously considered. Given there is so much of a push in some quarters for Ray Guy in the Hall of Fame, I would like to hear anyone put forward an argument in favor of Ray Guy over London Fletcher for the Hall.

London fletcher is awesome and I would love to have had him on the team I root for his whole career no doubt. However in my opinion he is no ray Lewis. Lewis is the most dominant lb we have seen in a very long time

I thought this might be his last season, but he has been gaining steam down the stretch.
