Rams | Faulk discusses health, future
Mon, 29 Jan 2007 10:21:29 -0800
Bryan Burwell, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports St. Louis Rams RB Marshall Faulk (knees) has yet to decide whether he will return to the playing field in the future. The 33-year-old Faulk is bothered by troublesome knees and is not sure when he would be physically ready to play again. "It's all health-related," Faulk said. "I have my good days, and I have my bad days. I want to make sure I am ready. And right now I don't know if I'm ready. But I want to play again. I'm not saying I'm going to be the guy who had all those 2,000-yard-plus seasons, because I'm not. But I can still play the game; I know I can. The question is whether or not this knee will be good enough to allow me to." Faulk noted that he would only return to play if it is for the Rams, even with former head coach Mike Martz now in Detroit. "I love Mike," Faulk said, laughing, "I really do. But Mike doesn't own any team, does he? So that's the end of that."

If he has to question whether he can still play at this age, and has "good days" and "bad days", I think he should officially hang em up. Sure he was dynamic back in the day, but I don't even think he could contribute as a secondary back anymore.
