rugger8 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 he won't get one carry i betdepends on how long norwood is going to be out, and how dunn holds up with so many carries.. but yeah, i'm with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texfalcfan Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 that is great news but lets hope he will see some action.maybe against the yucsif he plays against the yucs, i predict 70 yds on the ground for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyder Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 depends on how long norwood is going to be out, and how dunn holds up with so many carries.. but yeah, i'm with you.i'd wager that norwood is going to still be dinged up and snelling will relieve dunn more that pinner did. and if given a handful of carries, snelling will show what he's got. i think he looked really good in pre-season.

Goat Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 that's awesome news. but i think that norwood's injury is also more serious than what has been said. lets hope for the best though. obviously pinner wasn't cutting, i just don't see what took petrino so long to realize it.

coryb78 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 if the offensive line doesn't open up any holes it doesn't matter who is back there.pinner didn't impress me so i am open to seeing what snelling can do.but open your eyes guys the offensive line has struggled all year to open holes and that has only mildly improved imo with the injuries that we have had affecting continuity.

7979 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 i'd like to see what this snelling kid can do. i was surprised he did not make the final roster. from what i saw in pre season, he seems to attack the los. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
