It is quite possible that his agent put his foot in his mouth, and pride is keeping him from owning up to it. Or there's something else.

My thing is we need him right now. Whether he is or is not back to the old Dunta. Just his game experience alone is an upgrade over what we will be starting come week 1. Both Bennett and Quinn were getting misused and abused Sunday by a team without Reggie Bush and had committed to the run early on. Imagine what Payton has in store. We definitely need something right now.

I hope he comes back soon.

And plays well

I hope he comes back and plays well. I still like Dunta. I still hope he gets a deal to stay a Texan. I will still root for him.

But that doesn't mean that all of his teammates like him or agree with what he is doing. I am sure some do and some don't. Those guys are watching there chances at winning diminished by a holdout that doesn't make much sense at this point. I am sure some aren't thrilled about that. And I am sure the longer he continues, the fewer teammates will feel positive about the whole situation.

I'm tempted to plug him in at DT when he does come back. I bet he'd be more stout against the run than "First ReP" Okam or Amobi Okoye, who has quickly become my second least favorite player on the team (after Kasey Studdard).
