Thread: Broncos' Phillip Lindsay prepared to make impact in NFL debut

I'm pretty sure Wave's point was that Booker is the last human being on the planet.

Interesting. I might've misjudged.

No that's not what I said. Try again.

I said that there is no one better than Booker out there that we could replace him with.

Sure there is: David Williams is on the practice squad so they wouldn't have to look far. The reason Booker is on the roster and Williams isn't is that Booker is a veteran.

Unfortunately, he is a pretty sucky veteran though. If Freeman gets hurt, and they start Booker the team will simply start losing games because their running game will be stalled completely.

It's not for nothing that Mark Schlereth calls him "Sir Mix-a-Lot," because he likes big butts and he cannot lie. He just keeps running into the back end of his blockers and averaging 3 yards a carry (well 2 yards in the opener, so he's going to have to bring the average up a bit in order to get his usual 3 yards per carry).

They could also claim DeAngelo Henderson off the Jets practice squad and sign him to the active 53 man roster in the event of an injury. The Jets have (I think) 4 RBs ahead of him.

That's going to suck for Booker if the entire stadium stands up and points at him - as the last human being on the planet, just like Donald Sutherland in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers!"

Lindsay reminds me of Warrick Dunn

Booker is sir mix a lot because he can’t lie.

No, I don't need try again. Your dopey comment is still because you have zero comprehension skill.

But hey laugh at yourself like you normally do.

Wave didn't comprehend what I said.

Agreed he's in the same mold as Sproles and Dunn but we'll have wait and see he has the same kind of success.

I'm sure Wave meant there won't be one single guy available to sign if we cut Booker.

Indeed

Only in TX land.

TX, can you please point to where I said what you're claiming I said?
