No. The Defense doesn't need Donald now. He had his time. He's retired and staying that way. The front is very talented and they stand on their own. Turner and Verse are the leaders up front now.

He wouldn’t do it if for no other reason than he knows this team needs to grow as a group. I get the distinct feeling that AD understands the team mentality above all else. I highly doubt he would want his presence to somehow disrupt that build.

If he played CB, we would be forcing him back against his will.

Our Dline is really good without him now.

He was above average against the run, and incredible against the pass.

We already have plenty of pass rushers.

Man as much as I love AD, he already can't come back this year. If he decided on his own to come back next year, I'd welcome that with open arms. Unfortunately I highly doubt this is in the cards as he seems to be enjoying his retirement and rightfully so.

As we all know, AD was a different dude. His dedication to his craft was seemingly superhuman: a pinnacle of physical development. So when a guy who has that mindset says “I’m done. I’m fulfilled”. I tend to believe him. #99 is 100% retired.

But, but, but AD99 is still here!!! His spiritual DNA is spread out on The Conductor, Agent Zero, Verse, and Braden. These are Aaron's spiritual kids, and they are keeping him alive as an active Horn. They have a score to settle with the Green Birds and the Lions and whoever comes out of the AFC playoff scrums. The Horns are looking to reclaim the NFL penthouse!!! :fistbump1:

AD is having too much fun drinking and watching the games as a fan. He has not looked nostalgic in any of the clips he and his wife have posted.

ya, he's drinking alright.... I'm really starting to wonder if he has a problem. It's like every video he posts.
Anyway, with this new D-line, I've already moved on.
The Conductor & his Choir of Chaos has arrived.

To be fair a lot of us have a drink every Rams game. It's once a week and part of the culture. I wouldn't say (or admit) that's an issue
