At the end of the '02 season when Dillon was injured against the Saints Luchey took over at tailback and gained 60 yards on 12 carries.
You're not telling me anything I don't know and what you're saying is beside the point.
Are you saying Marvin saw Rudi's talent? Why did a (apparently) talent-less 5th string RB leapfrog everyone and take Corey Dillon's job and keep it once CD was healthy?
Why didn't Marv try to replace the scrub in the '04 offseason? Why wasn't Magic Marv able to do the same thing with Benson and Law Firm that he did with a 7th string scrub?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
