It's a big loss. He is a big part of our team. You hate to have any of your players hurt, whether it is one game or 80 games. You hate it if it's your best player or your 12th man.
George is one of the toughest guys I've ever been around. He has that tough look, but mentally he's as tough as they get. To have him go through what he had to deal with last year ... it's probably worse now with his son.
