Zach Line -

[ponydawg]

Last year and earlier this season June was in a position where he had to run Zach early and often because we didn't have a QB who could successfully execute the R&S. Then McD had some nice games and I feel like JJ hasn't tried (or needed) to establish the running game as early as he had to in the past. I'll admit I don't know chit, but I wish Line could have gotten more carries in the 1st half on saturday.

We could always use more of "rock 'em, sock 'em" Zach Line!!!

Zach reminds me of John Riggins{for those old enough to remember}. Zach and John weren't considered shifty runners, who would make a crowd go: WOW! If you need a crucial play made, and somebody to run over and kick the defender's {Gary Fatterson}, Zach and John are very similar.

agree, exactly the same style and a crowd favorite for his straight ahead rushing.

Difference between Line and Riggins is that Zack will need a Mohawk hair cut and become absolutely crazy.

I helped my cousin paint John Riggin's house, and John brought out the beer. Needless to say, the painting of John's house took alot longer, then what it should have.

Zach is Mr reliable on this team. I think we should've given him the ball on that 3rd and medium in the endzone... and again on 4th down.

Agreed that he doesn't have those wow moments, but he lays down some nasty hits to those lbs and safeties.

Funny/weird John Riggins story:

A good friend of mine was running a trivia night at a bar here in DC that I used to go to. One slow night, not too many people in the place, John Riggins, wearing a cowboy hat, and his buddies are sitting at the bar getting wasted. If you've ever been to one of these trivia things, the questions are read over a PA system, you write down your answers, get scored at end of round, etc. And people take it pretty seriously, especially if the first prize is a $30 bar tab! Anyways, Riggins and his friends are being super loud and keep shouting out the answers across the bar, making it clear that they know the owner/manager and they aren't getting kicked out anytime soon. His cronies are saying "Do you know who this is??? He's a m----f---- HALL OF FAMER, b----!" to anyone that gives them a look. My friend is politely asking them over the microphone if they would be quiet and not shout out answers, as other guests are playing the game. Riggins keeps shouting "F--- you, you c---sucker, I''ll kick your [deleted] you f-ggot!", stuff like that, until finally the manager calms him down and gets his friends some (more) free drinks. My friend, USMC Iraq combat veteran and diehard Colts fan is doing all he can to not flip the f--- out on Riggins. It was super awkward after that, and I'm sure half the bar is wondering who the loud cowboy hat guy is. He is quiet for another 5-10 minutes and finally gathers his things to leave. On the way out, he's laughing and unleashes one more tirade on my friend before he stumbles out onto the sidewalk.

PS, I want a Zach Attack t-shirt.
