Cy Young Porzio Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 once again someone seems to step up at tight end just as davis and baxter did, and once again another end is done. He is having surgery with i think it was 7-10month rehabilitation. Don't plan on any breaks the end of this season, we are dropping like flies.

CubKilla Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Wasn't Sunday his first game starting at TE? Anthony Thomas is out for the season too with a broken finger. :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Young Porzio Posted December 3, 2002 Author Share Posted December 3, 2002 yea sunday was his first start and it was a good one too. I guess Thomas must have crushed his finger b/c i think it was tiki barber who played completely threw one this year. And you know Jauron isn't telling him to quit for the season since he has done nothing of the such with miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personaly I say good riddance to Thomas, I hope we trade his sorry ass for a second round pick and draft a good running back. We'll all see Leon Johnson and Adrian Peterson do something decent on the ground. Thomas has terrible vision and runs way too upright. Plus, how many f***ing times is he going to catch the ball wide open and then do his best James Allen jump and jig impression and end up getting stopped short of the first time. Take advantage of Thomas's name and go draft someone good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Lyman was playing damn good too. The hell with Baxter. I like Davis, Lyman and I like this new guy Gilmore. He's a rookie out of Penn State whose pretty good. Damn, this is the 2nd time Lymans torn the ACL too, it could be career threatening cause its hard to come back from that surgery multiple times.

It's that the opposing defenses have been stacking the box against the run, which means he has nowhere to go. It is Shoop's fault in that he never adjusted to it and never resorted to passing when there wasn't as many in the opposition's secondary.

Chisoxfn Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 The biggest problem is the make shift line thats their. Thomas just runs way to high. Lower himself and he will fall forward when hit, but he always is getting hit backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cy Young Porzio Posted December 4, 2002 Author Share Posted December 4, 2002 yea miller was cut from 5 teams before but that is because no one gave him the chance to show his real, MVP, talent. Miller is a premiere QB in the league and any rookie QB drafted next year is lucky to gett o learn from one of the greatest. He fits in like this: Marino, Montana, Miller, Young, Aikman!

Cy Young Porzio Posted December 5, 2002 Author Share Posted December 5, 2002 no one give up on the a-train yet. He showed he was capable in his rookie and i still believe in the sophmore slump. Let him work on things in the off season and i want to see him remain our starter next year, maybe draft someone to back him up for insurance but he will need the confidence.
