If AD99, The Kraken!, does, indeed, return to play with Myles & Co., this defense will require its own special name. :fistbump1:
 
This is just too much to hope for. I'm going to temper my enthusiasm as it seems like something that just couldn't happen. That said... Please AD. Come back to destroy some O-lines. You know you want to.
 
Dude is 35 and two years removed from the league...harder ask than I think people realize. Though given his fitness level, who knows!

Sure. For normal players. But we're talking AD, the most impressive physical specimen of his time. He's obviously in shape. He probably misses it to a degree. And he thoroughly enjoyed winning a Super Bowl. So who knows. I'm not gonna get my heart set on it but........

I’m saying 35% chance but trending higher. Wonder what the relationship between AD, MG and Kobie Turner (cast over leader) is?
 
I can't see him being the same dominant Aaron Donald he was a few years ago. Not at 35. But even with that he'd probably be a pro bowl caliber DT. He has two less seasons of wear and tear. To me that is like he's 32 and still a force. Imagine a front with Garrett, Donald, Fiske, Kobie and Young. Poona and Stewart adding depth. Who do you double team? With a much improved secondary.

I hope Donald stays retired. He was starting to slow a bit toward the end. I don't want a "Dream Team". Those teams always seem to crash and burn.

If slowing down is being injured and then still having a following season where you’re producing 8 sacks while beating triple teams and being rotated out is slowing down, then sign me up. A “slowed down” Aaron Donald is still the best interior lineman on the team

Not a betting man but if I were I would not bet on his coming back. Then again, I didn't think this trade would actually happen either...
 
IF he comes back - and that's a big IF - I can see him doing so for the back half of the season and being a part-timer until the playoffs.

Bring him in when you need another closer on the field and leave the play-to-play action to Kobie, Braden and Poona along the DLine.

Until the playoffs ... :)

I could see him come back on a limited basis.

But I really don't think he comes out of retirement.
