If I had to argue, I'd say those things are what makes a good running back, a good running back. I don't think the other poster was implying that you'd take a player's fat brother because he's related. I think the pedigree attribute speaks to the 'off the field' understanding of work ethic, professionalism, expectations, etc.....which are all harder to measure, but still count for something as they young men transition from college into the pros. Being around the game for 30+ years I could agree to that An NFL football player or division one football player knows the time And work it takes to put in… If you grow up Around that you’ll understand the effort that takes Opposed to the talented kid with not a lot of work ethic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just talking with the elephant in the room the other day. He wouldn't stop talking about Allen chucking the football all over the field, whether it's to receivers. tight ends or running backs. He didn't seem worried about establishing the run game. He knows the rb room will be better this year with Singletary and Cook at the top of the depth chart.

I feel that Kromer will help in some respects. There’s really not much to speak of except “we don’t know **** about Dorsey as an OC. No one does except the guys in the building. One thing we know for sure: People will complain about him, his scheme and his play calling. Anyone want to bet that won’t happen? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early in the first quarter, like during our first drive. I can’t IMAGINE what it would be like if we ever have to punt! 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tweener" girls have more self-control than some of those fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On topic my concern with James Cook is how many times in college I saw him get arm tackled. Maybe he has frame to add bulk/strength but he’s also moving up a level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will act like shrews no matter what; some are just shrews even if they lack proper genitalia. Especially those who are Jerry Sullivan fan boys.

She would regularly take on the whole line and keep them occupied while the rest of the offense stood by and admired her form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
