Reggie is great when he has his head in the game, but he's injury prone. PT is great as well, but he's also been bit by the injury bug the last couple of seasons.

Would LT be the back that can stay injury free and consistently produce week after week for us?

no

Yes, we won the Superbowl. Now we have to get better and keep the team moving FORWARD.
