That just starts unnecessary conflict in the locker room.
Stupid take but our RB coach has done it and probably will continue. Yea let's not put a fire under any of our guys.
As far as my takes? I don't like to think like everyone else but I'm not far off typically [Reply]

And didn't that Ravens line have Ogden?
I'm confident I could have gotten good yards behind that OL. [Reply]
The dipshit who straight up lied about going to Belize!! Lmmfaoooooooo. What a turd. I bet your hand and Buttplug got a hell of a workout while you were in fantasyland. Crave, that’s downright embarrassing!

yeah, the whole 'Priest Holmes was always an elite back' revisionist history thing is baffling.
Priest Holmes was neither big and physical, nor speedy. What he was was very smart, with good vision, and patience. And he had good hands.
In Baltimore, he had ONE season as a primary runner, and barely cleared 1,000 yards in a run oriented offense. In subsequent seasons, he had some injury issues as well as a team that was trying to upgrade from him.
He came here and set records running behind two hall of famers and two near hall of famers, along with an always above average RT. One of the best offensive lines in history.
I credit Willie Roaf and Will Shields above all else for Holmes' era of dominance. The fact that Larry Johnson and even...oh what was his name, the third string guy that ran for like 200 yards against New Orleans...whatever. Doesn't matter.
It was Roaf, Shields, Wiegmann, and Waters. That was what was important in that period. [Reply]
Anyway, Pikachu has some elite traits. Will he put it together? Who knows?
But I'll say this-if you have elite traits and a great work ethic along with being smart, that's a good combination to try to reach your potential. [Reply]

Derrick Blaylock was the third string guy that ran for like 200 yards against New Orleans [Reply]
