This year may be his last year here. If he's stays healthy and doesn't tank, he'll break Riggo's record, but it's more likely he'll tank like LT and get injured.

I won't deny he's slowed down a LOT, but there was:




If he had blocking like that all season, he'd be in the Pro Bowl if healthy.

Lets see how much he REALLY has left if he works hard and gets a little help from the new line. I still think he needs another regularly-used RB (like Parker or a rookie) to cut down his workload and injury risk, but maybe he can still be a contributor.



edit: looks like Rabach was holding...
