Seems like our only chance to be successful this season...

is going to be establishing the run game. Chad is going to be stopped if we cant runt he football.
I like what Kubiak says about Henne, but believe me… he is going to dial up some defenses to thwart another 400 yard game from Henne unless we get the run going.
Hopefully we can get Clay in there to push our running game to where we can be legit.

by the way...

it is super lame to begin the comment board with the " I’m 1st ." If you don’t have anything relative to say, don’t waste the space.

It is lame. Super lame but most comments here are wasted space. Just like this one in

reply to yours of similarly wasted space. Oh and yes Wade Phillips while a terrible HC is a genius DC and will have something special in store for us on Sunday. We MUST figure out a way to run the ball.

letting go of lusaka… I really want to see us rebound a FINALLY beat the Texans! I know everyone is real high on Clay, hopefully he will be a difference maker.

Yes for now all we can do is assume that the FO knew what they were doing when

they let go of Polite in exchange for Clay.

Getting so tired

Of hearing about D.Thomas and Clay,it’s blah blah blah. Really I can’t even recall a play by Clay at all I just keep hearing his name like his a figment of imagination and Thomas c’mon, can he get 10 yards before I have to hear how he is gonna help our running. Just baffles my mind that polite is gone and we don’t even give LJ a carry, what’s the worst LJ could do get a yard at the least or who knows he could still be a beast but to not even let him try is ridiculous. Ok I vented.:) Go Fins, redemption Sunday taking down the Texans.

i feel better...how about you

and i agree with almost everything you said. I am optimistic that Thomas will be less scared of contact as he looked during the preseason. But i hear 100% on not letting LJ run it in from the goal line last week. Seemed like they were trying to force the action with Reggie.

The question remains, if Clay and Thomas are active Sunday.

Will they be “Larry Johnson-ed” or will they actually play?

Yea really

They’ll suit up and and bush’s tongue will be hanging out while they sit on the sideline.
