Noble is the kind of guy you have to root for. He's not all that big and he certainly isn't quick or fast. But he plays hard every snap of the ball and he has success because he works hard. He never gets beat for lack of trying.

Having said that, it is almost a miracle that he was able to play as much as he did last year after the injury he suffered two years ago. There was some talk that he might have to have an artificial knee inserted. OUCH !!

I hope he can come back from this one too, but one of these days, his legs are just going to give out on him.
