Some good opinions on the season w/o Guice. Perhaps all is not lost.

we have a potentially good defense and a healthy o/line with an experienced qb . we have a punchers chance to be a playoff team

I really wouldn't mind just giving Chris the ball and praying he hold up. I think he can give us everything Guice was going to except maybe moving the pile a little. Perine puts the ball on the carpet too much for me and Kelley seems like a JAG. I've been too depressed to even post on the Skins once I heard Guice was done.

I know. I've been argued down on this before. His hands are just so small. It's why he cant catch and imo the reason I hold my breath everytime he runs the football.

No way that you give way more touches to Thompson. That is practically begging for an injury to occur. You have to use him in doses & find others to share the load. Even if it doesn't work out this season you have him for the future. This guy is a major asset, but you have to protect him & that means limiting his touches.

if you have a cannon , you shoot it . how we were using CT last year is about right . he got a freak injury but keeping him on the sidelines doesnt make him a weapon

if he cant stay healthy then what can you do but find another guy ?

CT is a small guy. RB by committee.

He has a track record of injuries & is not a big guy. He has to be used as part of a mix. I am not suggesting keeping him on the sidelines but no way in hell that you make him a workhorse. You do that & he will get hurt.

that is why i said use him like last year . i certainly am not advocating him getting 2- to 25 touches a game
