Also, I love it when a guy gets a new deal and then ratchets his game up even more.

He's a guy you can count on.  For example, only have two RB's available and both of them are dinged.  You need to run the ball.  He comes in and gets you seven yards.  If everybody did their jobs as well as he does his, we'd be very hard to beat.

I know all this was said when he got his deal but I think it's worth another go round.

I need to eat a little myself McC,

I was one of the guys lobbying for him being cut kinda sorta. And like wildcats said in a thread on him back in preseason, words to this effect anyways - he's just a guy who gets it done and is an asset to the team.

He's not gonna out run everybody on the field. He's not going to do a back flip over a Suburban. But he guts it up and gets it done way more often than not.
