Saints released him a few weeks back & landed on the Cardinals practice squad.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what I posted but I can't find it anywhere.

That is spooky. I pretty much said the same thing except 12 TDs by week 11. And how weird is this; my comment has disappeared also! 😀

I'm pretty sure I compared him to Willis Mcgahee but I can't find it. I still contend that he is not like Sproles or Bush, which is the point I was making back then.

He doesn't run 30 yards sideways and half a yard forward like Reggie

Adapted very quickly to the speed of the NFL

From Danno...Here's what I said...

I think it was an excellent pic. I predict by week 12 he'll be the leading candidate for OROY and he and Mark Ingram will threaten to surpass the most productive tandem in NFL history.

Pretty sure I was one of those folks talking crap about the pick. That was a kinda rocky time for me personally and I was especially salty about most of the early picks. Happy to say I've moved on from that time and I love every single time they prove me wrong again.

I'm pretty sure I just called it a crap shoot.

Baseless self aggrandizing while making a push to up the click count on a nonsensical and somewhat time wasting thread is simply unbecoming vpheughan...

Back to the topic. I called him a scat back and said Sean needs his toys. Calling Alvin a toy is like calling a Cat D9 a Tonka. Sorry Sean and Alvin.
