Warner kinda did it not too long ago when he told Martz that Bulger should be playing, I think it was a game against Chicago.

Anyway, he caught alot of heat for that, people said he wasn't a true warrior, that guys don't step aside no matter what, blah blah. I imagine if Brunell did step aside the same people that are blasting him now for not doing it, would blast him for doing it.

So of course Brunell isn't going to just step aside, he obviously feels he can play so he's going to keep going back out there. It shouldn't be up to the player, because 99% of the time the player is going to want to play, that's when the coaches have to step in and make the determination that a guy is too hurt to play.
