It is worthless to be the fastest player on the field if you never run full speed. Damn

True words my friend. His lack of effort wasnt quite as noticeable in person but it looked awful on tv.Quote:

It appears to me that a lot of our players aren't hitting guys right now, excluding a few such as Lewis and Ward.Quote:

I really hope that is the case. However, if he can't give better play than he did in this game then the next man needs to step up. Not sure who that next man would be with all of the injuries thoughQuote:

If Bryant is indeed hurt, I want to apologize for my original post. I hate ever calling a player out because you never really know what is going on with the individual.Quote:

Just passing along what a read from the uncle elsewhere.
If he is too banged up to go all out then he shouldn't be out there. I know we are short on bodies but we shouldn't be putting a player at risk.Quote:
