Amen, oh mighty one!

Peer pressure on the defending champs may completely change his running style. He may take more "pride" in how he runs the football in TB BECAUSE they are the defending champs. When he knows Sapp et al will give him crap for playing like a wuss and falling when brushed, he will make a decision to run harder. Nobody (players), to my knowledge, ever pushed him like that with the Cards.

Again, I am not suggesting he will become a HoF RB but I think he will produce better in TB than here and that TB will end up pleased they made the trade for him.

No Fantasy Players ? My butt!

1st off if you play a "both-sides" league:
1. A.Wilson - got me a lot of pts last year
2. D.Jackson - gets pts for defensive TD's and Tcks
3. F.Jones - Might be the steal of any FFootball draft at TE
4. J.Blake - that is right he may not be a starter in fantasy
football, but I will take a backup that is good
for a 300 yd 3TD day.
5. A.Boldin - he invented Fantasy Football, nuff said!

Sorry Jim I have posted this before. TJ was well on his way to a good season last year and was doing well. Yes that includes more than just the Seattle game. If it wasnt for the injury I think we would still be seeing TJ starting in a Cardinal unifrorm!

Also TJ IMO was unfairly benched in favor of Pittman for some unknown reason. Look at the stats Pitts were never any better than TJs and the dude fumbled all the time at the worst possible time.

The guy has talent and like I said just wait he will be heard from again!

Speaking of, how the hell didn't he parlay that into an endorsement deal for 1-800-CALL-ATT?

LMAO!

Maybe TJ will prove me wrong, but I just don't think that he has the balance or vision to get it done consistently.

I agree with you and MadCardDisease Jim. Too much dancing in the backfield and not going forward plus the inability to break a tackle. It was so frustrating watching him run into the line and fall down the first time someone brushed up against him.

I wouldnt say TJ just fell down everytime he was touched I dont know if you payed attention but his first two years here he was used quite a bit around the goal line. Or at least when we got there. He showed a knack for getting the ball over and pounding it in there with toughness often taking several hits before crossing the line. The ability is there he just needs to have the same determination at the 50 as he does at the 1!

HE wasnt dancing as much last year prior to injury and I believe he just may turn the corner!

This is getting so rediculous. We even get slammed when they are talking about another team.
