That is true. Especially for those fans who do not take the winking smiley face as a sign of sarcasm. :)

funny that you mentioned that. I actually looked all over for a winky smiley but couldnt find it. must not have looked closely enough. I'm just looking forward to the opportunity to use this one for the first time: :bdh:

:) No harm, no foul brother.

i agree, but i wonder what your cousin would think about Rock Cartwright or Darren Sproels if they were in the CFL... both small guys that really arent that exceptionally fast. I'm not going to get excited about this move yet, but i don't think its a BAD move on the part of the skins either. Its nice to see they are exploring all their options and actively taking steps to improve the team. If we were sitting around doing absolutely nothing, completely content with our roster, then i would be irritated.

I see your point, but the size isn't only about height. It's also about the fact that he barely can clear 170 lbs. Sproles is over 180, and Rock over 210

:bdh: can be used anytime around hear latley:) especially when 53 is posting :)

I think Dorsey can make a great ST player even at 170. I wouldn't mind starting from the 40+YL once in a while.

Don't be a "Johnny come LATLEY" 44. :) I wish Dorsey all the best. It would be great if he turns out to be a "Sproles like" player, but as SS says, at 170 pounds, how much contact can he take? Anyone remember how much Joe Washington weighed?

why can't you see us carrying dorsey, are, and cartwright? we carried 7 rookies who didn't have a big imapct on the field if any impact at all so why couldn't the skins carry a 4th rb and another return man that atleast could have an impact in the return game?

When has Vinny ever kept 4 RB's? Even last year when several people (myself included) thought that we should probably keep Derrick Mason, we didn't. If Dorsey makes it, then either Rock or Betts are out of here.

don't remember JW weight but Desmond Howard was around 180 Ibs SB mvp punt returner. He was a little heavier but also a little taller at 5'10

I don't think for a minute he would be a Sproles. What does SS know anyway:)

Sproles is an inch shorter than Dorsey but about 10 lbs heavier. Pretty similar.

My prediction is Dorsey will be outta here before training camp.

Well like Angry said, I can't see them keeping 4 RB's. If the guy is really, really good on punt returns, and the coaches are comfortable enough with Rock being a back-up to Portis, they could always trade Betts. Personally I like Betts and think he should get alot more playing time, but if they're not going to use him and this guy can return punts better than ARE, ha-ha, and compliment Portis at RB.........
