Arizona RB Tim Hightower traded to Redskins.bigdaddy2348 08-01-2011, 10:39 AM University of Richmond product, nice to have a Spider on the 'Skins again! Wasn't Shawn Barber the last notable Spider that we had on the roster. Longtimefan 08-01-2011, 10:52 AM Wasn't Shawn Barber the last notable Spider that we had on the roster. Played HS at Episcopal here in nearby Alexandria, Va. Locals here should remember him well. Stuck in TX 08-01-2011, 11:24 AM I have been raving about Hightower since he was in college. This is my favorite move of the offseason so far. Not only do we have a darkhorse starter/stud, young RB, but we also have something for Torrain that he has not had since coming here: competition. I see a RB by comitee in our future! Ruhskins 08-01-2011, 11:27 AM "Grant Paulsen Shanahan on Holliday for Hightower deal: "As far as I know the deal is already done." Said TH's blocking stood out. #Redskins" Good to know. mlmpetert 08-01-2011, 11:51 AM Wasn't Shawn Barber the last notable Spider that we had on the roster. We added linebacker Eric McBride, a former Spider, today too. Not sure about Shawn Barber. I was real big on Hightower coming out of school and he looked great his rookie year, but seemed to fall off substantially the last 2 years. Well see how he does, im routing for him. MTK 08-01-2011, 11:57 AM How has he fallen off exactly? Tim Hightower, RB for the Arizona Cardinals at NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/player/timhightower/4383/profile) mlmpetert 08-01-2011, 12:07 PM How has he fallen off exactly? Tim Hightower, RB for the Arizona Cardinals at NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/player/timhightower/4383/profile) Yeah nevermind.... im way off. I remembering hearig about a little bit of a fumble problem though. 5 seems kind of high for 150 carries, 1 in 30 he fumbles. Anyone knows the average carries per fumble? SirClintonPortis 08-01-2011, 12:09 PM Judging by the fact that he averages less than ten carries a game in his career, it's safe to say that he can only function as a part of a committee. He better be the finest 3rd down back ever. Chico23231 08-01-2011, 12:13 PM Sellers will be cut or traded. yup. I dont see Sellers making this team. Trade feelers probably out, might take an injury somewhere to make it happen. Think Shanny is along about getting younger Monkeydad 08-01-2011, 12:14 PM Keep in mind, Arizona has had one of the worst running games in the league for a few years. Hightower was not the only RB having trouble producing in that system...look at Wells' numbers too. They'd run maybe 15-20 times a game as a team when Warner was still there...last year was just ugly all around for them. Hightower only had more than 15 rushes ONCE last two seasons, and went for 148 yards that game (vs. Denver). But, when Hightower did get the ball in space...look out. He's a TD machine too. Look at his limited touches and his TD totals: 2010 - 153 rushes, 5 TDs 2009 - 143 rushes, 8 TDs 2008 - 143 rushes, 10 TDs We needed some red zone help! | |
