Yeah, he is good. I just don't know how good yet. I just haven't watched him play enough to form a solid opinion. I really like Quentin Moses. I think he can play the elephant position like Charles Haley did in San Francisco and Dallas.
Marcus Thomas is an absolute beast!!! However, I'll let you all know now before you find out later, he's had back and hernia surgery in the past and is just coming off of suspension for smoking weed (he missed the Kentucky and Bama games)! I know the guy personally, and know that he has been a good kid for 3 1/2 years at UF. This is his last season at UF and he's gotten into a little trouble. With that being said, John Henderson of the Jacksonville Jaguars had as many problems or more with his back coming out of Tennessee, and he is 6'8"! Marcus is nearly 6'4", so I don't think there is as much an issue with the back as it would be with someone taller. Finally, didn't Warren Sapp get busted smoking weed? He turned out to be a damn good player for a while; I think at the very least, Marcus is as good as a collegiate Warren Sapp! I'm not justifying smoking weed because it is against the rules, but that is a rather minute infraction compared to what goes on with other players.
Let's not get too excited. Most of the good work was done when the game was out of reach, and the JAX big name defenders were watching with visors on.
I think that Washington has earned the right to start. Kevan Barlow, once again, just looked dreadful. He has very little creativity and is very slow. There's a reason why he took 4 carries, gained -1 yards and than didn't see any more action... I'd rather see Derrick Blaylock playing than Barlow at this point.
well he did something none of our other rbs did.. he ran for 100 yards on the best front 7 in the nfl. so yes he deserves a start. barlow the sluuuug can be a goaline guy.
LEON got most of his yards in GARBAGE TIME! They were stopping and /or trying to preserve their shutout. So they allowed him some yards but worked to prevent a long pass from ruining the shutout! I love LEON's ability but lets be honest. Behind that OL and with a QB and receivers that scare noone and allows them to play 8 or 9 in the box, why is it reasonable to assume that LEON can be a God-send?
Washington has a lot of potential, but I don't think I am fully convinced yet. I do like watching him, and yesterday we played against a very good, physical defense, and Washington was OK. Let's see what the rest of the year brings us.
In GARBAGE TIME against the 3rd string LDE and rookie MLB! That was a patchwork of a defense and most of the yards canme in GARBAGE TIME! It is easy to verify!
lol after the 1st qt.. that whole game was garbage time.. whats ur point. if jax is anything like baltimore they take pride in not giving up rushing yards. and they did no matter what time it was.
