So pointing and saying run that way was probably the only system he could really excel in.

I don't think the rookie special team players will get as many snaps at RB as most. I think we're going to try to keep Clinton in the game. Last year Portis hardly got any TDs. Hell, he mighta had more TDs called back than he scored! I have a feeling we may put these guys in as blocking fullbacks and he's going to carry the ball. The problem is rarely do we ever throw in the Redzone, so if Portis ain't scoring, prolly means the rest of the team isn't either.

Say what you will about Riggo, but he loved the game and wanted to win, and hey it took him all the way to the Hall Of Fame

Yes, we were just AWFUL in the RedZone last year, hopefully we will improve in that area next year. Cooley was one of our few bright spots near the goalline with his 6 TDs.
