Props to lloydroid

Dude kept telling us how good Dwyer is. Now we find that he's at least half as good as lloydroid said.

Color me as very happy about it.

Gotta say I may be wrong about Dwyer...but not about LLoydanoid. Dude was creating a thread a day about it. It got to be too much.

All that said, the last 2 Defenses leave alot to be desired. Is he a full time back against stouter defenses? We'll see. But he's looked good so far and worth a longer look.

[Dee Dub]

Yeah gotta give it up to lloydroid! Dwyer looks like the real deal.

Bitterness gets you no where. Rejoice in my prognostication as me being right is excellent for the team. And don't exaggerate: at ONE point I may have created two threads in two days, and they weren't identical either. Get over it. I was right.

The Redskins weren't exactly terrible in rush defense before today...

Thanks BSHD. Now, if I was really smart I wouldn't have cut him off my fantasy team. Doh! Dag gummit! But I was thrilled to see JD rush the way I thought he would if given enough touches. Now, just imagine him churning away with DeCastro back in there; we saw what the return of Pouncy meant to the O line today. This team is getting healthy and it's exciting to think of how good they can get.

They were 7th in rush D before today. How is that a weak rush D? The Steelers were 9th before today. Please. Skins were hardly a soft rush D. You are right Slapstick.

Hats off to ya lloydroid. You had him pegged and I was wrong about him. I'll tip one back with you.

[SidSmythe]

<----smarter than LloydDroid. Had DWYER as his starting RB today.

[Shoe]

I'll give credit where credit's due--lloydroid definitely had more faith than most of us, and called this early. My concern was never his talent... it has always been his professionalism and sense of urgency. As long as he is healthy and focused, he can shine. But we will know a lot more, when he has to face adversity and challenge (i.e. injuries, the team relying on him, possibly a big contract).

Look at Cam Newton... the guy is a physical beast. And after last year, everyone was touting him as god's gift. BUT what we ALL forgot was his immaturity, and it's manifesting itself as defenses have adjusted to him, as people are verbally criticizing him, etc. He pouts, he blames.

If you saw the guy run at Ga tech it was pretty easy to see his potential, you didn't have to be an NFL scout to see he could play if he kept his priorities straight. That being said, he will be a nice complement to Mendenhall when he returns and takes back his spot as the starter. It will also allow us to get rid of Mendenhall if he continues being a china doll. He might even have the potential to be the Bettis replacement we've all been looking for. But 2 games showing his potential does not a career make...but this is what I thought we'd get when we drafted him.

Seeing a guy run in college only show "potential" ...I've seen a lot of flops in the NFL dominate in college.

DWYER runs way differently now than the last few years. He always reminded me of RICHARD HUNTLEY but now he is showing power and balance ...it's funny watching him get his pads low and DB's bouncing off him.

Props! Props to lloydroid, props to Dwyer, and props to Mike Adams who has been a refreshing addition to the line (in run blocking at least).
