Anyone else seeing a little Amos Zeroue in Dri Archer

[Shawn]

I don't think anyone is writing him off...well maybe a couple guys here. But, the expectations were so high...and we haven't seen much. With the frustration with everything else we sure could use a spark.

I think everyone here would love for Dri to excel when he gets on the field. We're not writing him off yet. With that said, on draft day both Tomlin and Colbert said that a big part of taking him at 3 (whether he was a total luxury pick with a team that had serious needs to fill is another argument) was his special teams abilities. So far he's absolutely sucked on kick off returns and Brown is still out there fielding punts because Archer isn't good enough to do the job. It's discouraging.

RussB, I'm not a physicist but if Amos Z's extra 10-12 pounds (on a 5'9" frame) slowed him down, it's possible that he was running with less force than when he was lighter. E = mc2 (er sump'n like that)?

Considering that the "c" in that formula stands for the speed of light, I think you got the wrong formula, brother, since Amos' speed never approached the speed of light.

We'll go with F=ma for all you physics nerds out there instead. Chicks dig physics.

Admittedly, I didn't quite even see half the game, but, why are they bringing him in and running him up the gut... just stupid on Haley's part. Get him the ball in space where his speed can make a difference.

DVR'd it and couldn't bring myself to watch it after I ran into Browns fan trash talking and realized we were gonna lose... So feel free to correct me if HE was the one catching screens or running sweeps... looks like he ended up with a decent (15 yard) run.
