Hightower is one of the dudes I'm not sorry we let go.

You guys suck balls dissing on HT. He helped us in the playoffs and helped get us to a SB. Just because he's not here now...bite me. BITE ME.

Bite ME

THT's knee willl not be completely right until next year- Skins have other cheaper choices, i was impressed with THT as he finally got feature RB carries. I would take him back in a heartbeat - He has SB experience and maybe- just maybe Whiz would let him fill the role he is great at.

Powell's are a dime a dozen. I like him but he is no THT.

I respect THT and he is one helluva back when you consider where he was drafted. A great teammate, a great person off the field, Smart, Tough, versitile, and fearless. He'll wind up on the Patriots.

HE WAS GREAT FOR US AND I WILL NEVER FORGET HIS TD THAT BASICALLY SENT CARDS TO THE SUPER BOWL.

Reports are Hightower is headed to Vegas to work security at the Airport.

Does Shane know about this?

As an aside, we had a dude in our cap hell league bid $1 on Hightower. He thought he won, but the site crapped out and no one else could bid. Dude wound up paying $6 instead. He bitched for at least the next two rounds about how he should have only paid a dollar.

Wonder how pissed he is now, lol.

He constantly made good runs to get first downs with the way he was able to bounce outside and was faster than people gave him credit for and always fell forward for extra yards ...and then there was another run that helped send us to the Superbowl. He was above average and good when the pressure was on to me.

Don't remember if it was the 3rd or 4th preseason game, but he ran pretty well. Yeah the third. His only preseason action.

5 28 5.6 18 0

Well at least that one run was nice.

He's a quality 2nd or 3rd back, and can pick up the blitz.

I'd be all over getting him back if we hadn't just witnessed the Wi-Po's preseason magic.

But I guess we already have three backs with injury problems and Wi-Po is really our only completely healthy/not recovering from injury, running back.

If one of our guys went down, he's the guy I'd go for. But I don't see how someone doesn't pick him up in the next few days though.

I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him in if it meant going lighter in one of the other positions.

Shane's the one who got Tim the job. :D

Timmy is no longer here because he was a fumble machine. Not sure if that has changed in Washington. Whiz abhors turnovers, so doubtful he comes back.

He'll get picked up somewhere. Green bay, maybe? I'd think that'd be a good fit.

If it wasn't for the fumbles at the wrong time in important situations he might be here today! Have his jersey and wish him well.

And I think he was a fifth round pick. He did very well for himself and he produced for us. I remember jumping up and down when he took it to the house against the Saints in the playoffs.

Also saw him at a sushi place in north Scottsdale but he didn't want his picture taken, I think he was on a date.

His fumbalitis continued... heard he is dropping water glasses at the Vegas police station also but Shane was able to get him additional bonus regardless ;)
