Now how does he get the ball out of the backfield too?


He has never been the same since he broke his foot. Hopefully he will return to his previous level, but he just does not look the same.


I'm gonna agree with ponygrad90, and go with Henderson...that man is fast.

By the way, he didn't break his foot.


Then what was the problem that kept him out of the 2nd half of the season without a shoe a couple of years ago? Did he just lose one? Regardless of a break or not, he had an injured foot and could not play. I have not seen the same explosion from him since. Believe me, I want him to break every kickoff record there is, but I want him to do it witrh the ability he has and not just because he gets more kickoffs than anyone in our history.

Again, I love his ability but in my personal opinion, he has not been the same since his injury.

The five best players in the game IMO were:

Emmanuel Sanders, Mitch Enright, Tommy Pointer, Youri Yenga and Bryan McCann.

I'm looking for a few players to break out in the next one:

Jesse Henderson, Cole Beasley, Aldrick Robinson (Dude: Hang on to the ball), Taylor Thompson.

Got to agree here, and Aldrick as well.

Boy do I agree with the great guy. If you ever talk to him ask if he remembers a little kid named Robert and his father George from back when he was playing.

I ran into Robert at a basketball game several years ago at a time his was playing for Kansas City. He was huge. A far cry from the skinny legged kid that came to SMU. He really blossomed while at SMU and I sure wish we had him at safety today.

*ding* Now I remember who you are...I think. Played Linebacker correct? That was a heck of a defense back in those days and could hang with anyone, even the wishbone at Texas.
