Folks....if Duece is out.....it won't change much of anything. First and foremost let me start by saying that I have and been and always will be one of the BIGGEST Deuce supporters out there. But, with the way the o-line is playing and in truth the way he has been running this year....his being out won't change much. To be honest....I don't know if its just me but he tends to look slower and slower each year. I know that sounds kinda obvious because he is also getting older but it seems to be a bit rapid for his age. Maybe, just maybe (and I almost feel sick suggesting this becuz we are having this discussion at the expense of his injury.) putting in a guy like P. Thomas might be good for a few reasons.

1. He is young and wants to prove to the world that he is for real.
2. Youth....the guy looked every bit as tough as Deuce AND a lot faster.
3. The unknown. Just like defenses did not know what to expect from Reggie last year....they won't know what to expect from him either which to some degree....may cause a little confusion in how to deal with our offense. (barring the consistently bad play from our o-line.)

I honestly feel kinda bad for posting this because I am a big fan of 26, but I guess we have no choice but to look at the opportunities that have presented themselves from this unfortunate event.

Fan since '89....throguh all the good and bad times....aching but hoping like most of you...

to quote you and papz, let me say this............
thomas may just be one of the best steals of the draft.......
or undrafted draft.........let this kid run.........
he'll probably show up bush and everyone else in the backfield.......
duece may come back and i hope he does, but for this yr, he's gone.....
this actually could be a blessing in disguise and get this offense
jump started.............
after the bye beats us, the law of averages may pan out........smitty
