Betts a real Saint/Randy Thomas Swims with Dolphins!

Betts is legit NFL rb talent with a chronic right knee issue.
Betts' real problem is his knee can not stand up to being an everyday Rb in the NFL.
Except for 2006, whenever he had to take on the starters work load he inevitably injure his knee 4 or 5 games into it.
2006 was his 'breakout year' because miraculously he took on the added workload and did not tear his weak knee.
I like the guy and hope he can stay healthy.

Note updated thread title to reflect Miami Dolphins' new acquisition

interesting.. gl to him, hopefully he can end his career in a healthy state

Good for Randy, who knows he might actually have a little something left in the tank as long as his body holds up.

I'm glad that Randy has a new gig.

yeah randy!!! i was just going to ask about him in my earlier post but forgot to.

dang, randy was by far my fav skin.

bill parcells and randy thomas fit very nicely. hope those big ol biceps hold up.

hell yeah randy

Parker isn't guaranteed to make a roster spot and if he does, that means that he still has some speed and quickness left, something Betts DID NOT have.

I disagree, Betts never had Parker's exceptional speed, but he had decent speed & was always quick in his cuts & to hit the hole, including when we last saw him in 09. Both players are coming off injuries & are at an age where their speed & quickness will likely be diminished to the point that they're no longer effective.

I have been expecting (& hoping for) Parker to get cut, I just wish it was Betts that had the chance to make the team instead. Not saying he would make it, but maybe he's still got his burst. btw, I think the 3rd RB will have to make it on spec. teams.

Good for Randy, always liked him a lot as a person (and player).


Is Jon Jansen still playing with the Lions or retired?

You should check up on if..then statements first. Even so, should Parker actually have something left, what he has left is more than what Betts' had to offer, as Betts is essentially a much crappier version of LJ or Torain.

Still with the Lions
