Ruud replacement for Cushing.

Sounds a lot like me trying to find replacements in fantasy football for a bye week.

Or just maybe they know they will face us in the SB and want to leach knowledge.

Also the weight room! I have seen dudes who come in to the pros and they don't really look like much, you give them an off season or two in a real pro weight room with real NFL caliber trainers, and next thing you know all of a sudden they get the huge arms and thighs and big shoulders and start to look like real football players out there.

Toss play to the left, it was one on one, porter vs RB, porter sticks his arms out and the RB just ran straight round him for a 15 yard gain

Our CB's might be ailing, but once they are healthy it will be okay

This is exactly what kept happening constantly during the past two seasons, and that is why I'm not at all missing his presence even with the CB woes.

We went to the Superbowl with cornerbacks off the street.
