Beach and Pope

You guys make jokes, but no one expected anything out of Samkon in '05 either...

Samkon needs the right system. He certainly seemed to have the strength (POWER) in 2005.

We didn't get that much either; flash in the pan

I really hope one or both of them pan out because they both have the potential for great Chris Berman nicknames like: Arliss "Son of a" Beach and this one has to be said with an Italian accecnt like Father Guido Sarucci - P.J "I'ma da" Pope or alternatively P.J. "Down with Dope, Up with" Pope.

I've tossed this fella's name out there, as one that might be the perfect fit for our backfield:

Cory Dillon.

The latest I've read on him fr. PFT.

DILLON DONE, FOR NOW

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that running back Corey Dillon plans to retire.

The 10-year veteran shopped himself on the free-agent market after being cut by the Patriots, but no offers came his way.

Dillon, the one-time holder of the single-game rushing record, spent seven years with the Bengals and three with the Patriots.

We've got a feeling, however, that he'll be back. Like other veterans have done in past years, he can skip all of the offseason workouts and field offers once camps open.

Once the inevitable ACL tears and other injuries begin to occur, Dillon's phone will ring.

Comment woodbuck27:

It's interesting to me that possible draft pick RB Marshawn Lynch has been compared to Cory Dillon.
