Re: The Shanaplan Gets Accelerated
^ Me neither.. We definitely need to resign Hightower, we need to have RB who can do blocking for passing plays; Hightower not only does that but he also punishes LBs and DBs for blitzing. What can be better than that?

You guys keep talking about the healthy TH, he won't be the same after this injury, I doubt the Skins stick it out with him.

Re: The Shanaplan Gets Accelerated
He's still young enough where he can make it back, if not here then definitely somewhere else. I wouldn't write him off.

Re: The Shanaplan Gets Accelerated
The good thing about TH getting hurt so early this season is that he has plenty of rehab time before 2012.

Re: The Shanaplan Gets Accelerated
This team is still a long way from being consistently good but I do think Shanny has them on the right track to get there. This team has been over a decade in its destruction so its unrealistic to expect this mess can be fixed in a couple of years.

Re: The Shanaplan Gets Accelerated
Torn ACL's take time to heal and fully recover from. Many backs are never the same. My take on TH is that he comes back next year at a bargain price. If Helu takes over as starter, TH would probably be great as a 3rd down, generic back up. If Helu doesn't take over, not sure a recovering TH (acknowledging Lotus' point that he will have had extended recovery time) is the answer at RB.
If Helu does not live up to expectations, I think we add RB to the list of needs b/c, even if he returns, I don't think TH will be in a position to be a starter. With that said, I like the guy and hope he makes a full recovery.

Re: The Shanaplan Gets Accelerated
I guess you right, but for some reason I can remember every time I saw him playing the Panthers were racking up yards with him, or he was possibly not racking up the yards but he was breaking long runs now and then some for TD's.

Re: The Shanaplan Gets Accelerated
When he was in Carolina i think there was another running back there that got most of the carries but SD made a helluva back up. I cant think of the RB's name though. I remmember he started in the Super Bowl against New England and Davis came offf the bench.

And ACLs do take a long time to fully recover from, and by fully, I mean do things on that knee like it was before the injury. Wes Welker is beasting now, but he sure as hell wasn't doing that last year.

Re: The Shanaplan Gets Accelerated
How about Terry Allen?
I can't see any scenario short of acquiring Adrian Peterson where Tim Hightower isn't on our roster in 2012...even if we did acquire Peterson

Re: The Shanaplan Gets Accelerated
What if they draft a guy at the RB position in or above the fifth round? Does Hightower, coming off injury, really have a great shot to beat out a rookie?
