To this day, he’s one of the guys and well respected. Not to me. Pouted in ‘01 and disrupted the team chemistry late in the year because he wanted the ball more when the 3-headed Mills/Blount/Roberts machine was dominating, then did his walkout, and decided getting ripped the night before the Grey Cup was the way to go and we all saw how that turned out. Then another faux “retirement” bit of drama, a careless fumble in the ‘07 East Final that led to Glenn’s busted arm, another no-show in the big game which led Milt Stegall to call out his work ethic and professionalism, and then an ignoble hush hush departure from the team. Have not found my way to forgive him or respect him for those transgressions no matter what great numbers he put up. Jesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just such a natural talent. I too really wish he had the drive to be better because he was a special player even with all his flaws.

Oliveira seems to know his blocking assignments better. Eternal optimist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting up back to back 2000 yard seasons (running and receiving) in 2005 and 2006 with how putrid our offensive line was is nothing short of greatness. He was without a doubt one of the most dominating running backs of all time. Rod Black, Jesse, Bubba Zanetti and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Maybe both are guys that are just too good to pass on or wait on. Or maybe it’s we need ol and are very fortunate to have two guys of their calibre available. Either way isn’t bad but having a rookie on the ol is a rare thing around here. tre ford starting? Same guy who is 1/3 for 8 yards and a pic on the season?
