Re: A question of style: Evan, Roy or Tim?

I will share this little bit about Royster. I grew up in the Northern VA area. Evan Royster was a star RB in the area from Westfield. There was a rumor going around the area that Royster was 'soft' and didn't like contact. I couldn't confirm or dispute that rumor. A few years passed and Royster was in the Rose Bowl, and most caries he got he ran toward the sidelines. Then he had that 'knee injury' in that game. I heard that his knee injury wasn't nothing more than a bruise on his knee. TV said it was an MCL sprain. But then those rumors came up again "Roysters soft" (from the NoVA crowd). Again these are rumors nothing is confirmed, nothing is denied, because theres some decent evidence on him. We drafted him last year and when I talked to my neighbor who works for the skins, I asked him what they thought of Royster. He said something along the lines of "We love him, we just hope he toughens up." Last year when Royster played I saw nothing definitive of him being shy of contact, nor dispute it either. (I did see his eyes get as big as his head when vince wilfork came jumping on him drawing a flag, but then again anyone in the league will be afraid of a 350lb man jumping on them while laying down.)

point is there is a possible question mark about a player on our team that may not like contact which is a huge problem in our league for a player at his position.
