Since he seems to be the only RB who can pick up a blitz, I want him back.

If THT cleans up the fumble issues---he could have a huge year for us. Love the way he runs and blocks. Wonder if a sports psychologist could help him with the fumble issue. I am sad to think of him looking elsewhere. I will always remember his 4th down conversion and his subsequent TD versus the Eagles to win the NFC Championship. In my mind, this kid is a champion.

143,143, 153 carries over the last 3 years.
His most successful play for the Cards was as back up role player behid Edge early in 08 and through the playoffs.

Beanie carried the 14 carries 91 yards in GB PO game, THT nailed that nice one to start the Saints game. but the whole team only had 14 carries in that divisional PO loss.

Thats on Whiz, 14 rushes to 36 passes never wins a playoff game, even ML went 7-10 for 61! after Kurt lost his head and tried to come back in his last NFL game.

THT is not a featured back in the NFL, WE started him 3 years, but He makes every team as a back up role player.

We can't let TB go. It's in the Cardinals' by laws that they have a RB like him on the team.

The last time I remember "if" and "hope" and "maybe" being used this much in reference to the Cardinals was the period between the end of the 2002 season and the start of 2003

We'd replaced TJones with Emmitt Smith. Jake with Blake and McCown. Boston and Sanders with BJohnson and Boldin. Moved Kendall to Center and brought in Hodgins at FB. Nobody really knew how that was going to work out.

I remember posting that the team could go 11-3 or 3-11.

I should have paid more attention to the Defensive front 7:

Dennis Johnson/Fred Wakefield, Wendall Bryant, Marcus Bell and the rookie Calvin Pace. Small play Ray, Wrong Gap Ronnie and Levar Fisher. :shock:

Well I hope Kolb meets expectations and is much better than Blake/McCown and if the young WRs step up maybe we can take back the NFC West.

I liked THT
he's our best backfield blocker by a country mile
that said after last years shenanigans (fumbles) the writing was on the wall
Whiz is definitely re-tooling the offense and THT looking like a spare part

My prior post is a link to a report that THT is reporting to camp. Good to see he is done with his mini hold out and at least going to show up and compete.

Geez Joe. I was just repeating what I read. I didn't mean to get your dandruff up!

I came off a little snipy I admit that, know it was direct at you, I apoligize since it did seem that way.

I have just been talking about this since before the draft, and no one wanted to believe it, didn't know any other way to get the point across.
