I want to see more of this and at a consistent level but so good so far at the beginning and now damn good so far the past week or two. Hope he keeps it up and can be the guy everyone hoped he could be when he was drafted. Who knows, maybe he has developed his mind to handle everything while being aggressive and maybe this is the true beginning of his career. I sure hope so.
It's all mindset. He is not playing afraid and he seems to play like he no longer cares if he is benched forever and traded away or not. He gained confidence in himself and the right mindset can overcome almost anything at all including size limitations in certain situations when the particular person in question is mentally tough enough and believes in themselves enough.
That benching somehow has helped him and brought out his best. I'm curious to see how he does the rest of the season as he has most definitely earned the job for the rest of the season for a good proper evaluation on his future with this team. He now has potential and is now developing. If you forget last season and only look at this one you would say he has a world of potential. His story is not written yet and I had all but given up on him. He has started to beat the odds and I'm happy as can be for him and hope he can continue to grow like this with each game this season then go bust his ass working hard in the off-season. He must keep up this momentum and keep this new mindset he has developed with his more aggressive style of play. Nothing more I would love than to be proven wrong by him.
That's a matter of opinion and that won't be determined for a couple years from now. If the guy turned out to be amazing in the next couple years would it be a bad pick then? Not saying he will but whether or not it was a bad pick is still up in the air. Initially it looks like it could be with other needs but if the guy turned out to be a world beater then I guess it wouldn't be. Easy to second guess what others do but if we were so damn great, we would be getting paid to make decisions like this for an NFL team already and not discussing it on a message board where everyone thinks they are an expert.
He needs to keep dumb penalties down during the game but it's an emotional physical game so sometimes you can't help but want to storm a locker room and go WWE on the opposing team.
It happens sometimes and Pinero has been overall pretty reliable but his bad game could not have come at a worse time than yesterday's game when those points were really needed. Hopefully he gets himself back on track this week.
Yes how dare Brooks not break the single game all time rushing record in his first game in the NFL and back from a serious knee injury. Dammit, cut him!
They technically didn't pay some extreme amount for him. You make it sound like they are paying him top RB in the league. fug man, even Payton, or Emmit Smith or even Barry Sanders has fumbled. If it happens weekly then we have a problem.
I don't think his mind works in such a way to figure that out. He is more concerned about who someone votes for or what their religion is judging by his past posts.
But we remember him from the XFL as a fan favorite of our team. People here liked him for what he did in the XFL definitely yet he was also a likeable guy for us and a pretty reliable backup RB/special teams guy.
