Re: Arizona RB Tim Hightower traded to Redskins.

Look at his stats (that I posted above). His TDs were all RUNS, zero receiving TDs.


Also, if you've even watched a game with him in it, you would see he's an explosive back. I've been watching him for a few years (and owning him in fantasy leagues).

I don't know why you and other members work so hard to talk down EVERY acquisition this team makes.

Skins sign any one, the knee-jerk reaction is "oh, bad deal, he's a bad player, the team is making bad decisions again!"

Sure...cut Hightower and give Betts a call. Might as well bring Randel El back too...goodbye Gaffney.

It really is!

Reminds me of the famous Madden quote - ""Usually the team with the most points wins the game!"
