injuries.......they make or break the season....though they are hard to except, we can't stop em.....i remember watching duece touch the ball for the first time, ( believe it was against atlanta) and 40 or 50 yds later, he was in the endzone. i remember staring at the screen going, whoa! fu#king whoa!!!!!! what do we have here? i wanna see more of this, much more......and he did not let me down......what i see in duece is a larger e. smith. the elusiveness, speed, and power to score everytime he touches the ball......
smith in my opinion, was one of the better, if not the best runner, to play through injuries and still have the respect of defenses....
i see some of this in duece.........in fact, i see a lot of it on the offensive side of the ball....
i believe we now have enough good players on the offensive side to continue to score and stay in a game despite injuries.....
we may not be the defensive unit we'd like to be, but what i like is the youth movement that has begun. in most cases, you can always bounce back from injuries more so when you're young than when you're older. many will argue it won't matter if you tear ligaments, and i agree, but general nagging injuries are usuallly overcome quicker when you're younger, (my opinion)....this is a plus defensively to me because with the addition of a few more players i feel we may have enough to keep us in the game defensively as well as offensively....though we may lack experience in some areas, i am very optimistic about our chances going into the season. come on august...smitty
