Short Yardage Back!!!??? ALSTOTT to Skins???

Matty:

I have the scoop on Sultan's whereabouts. He is working out with that other pre-season wonder, Babe Laufenburg, and they hope to sign as a tandem for a team that wants to generate momentun in the pre-season in order to get a fast start next year.


Alstott is "all done". If he's a free agent, don't give him a big bonus or you will wear it like an albatross around your neck. As an example of what I mean by that see Brunell, Mark.


Rock Cartwright was not used in short yardage because when he was used that way last year he got stoned for no gain or lost a yard as many time as he gained six inches. Here is an algabraic equation for you to remember about Rock:

Cartwright = Special Teams Player

You'll probaby see him against the second teamers of one of the worst defenses in the NFL this weekend. So when he gains 60 or 70 yards, remember that he was not running against a top flight defense.


MIke Sellers used to be able to hit a hole quickly. Watch him when he leads for a running play from the H-Back position; those days are gone.
