He and Eric Steinbach solidified the Browns line into a strength. Even Jamal Lewis who many thought was done ran for over 1300 yards even with missing 2 games and parts of others.<BR/><BR/>Peterson will have a good career if he stays healthy, but the shelf life of a good running back isn't as long as a stud LT. The fact that the Browns were bad during the draft just shows that without the line in place in Cleveland, Peterson might have been injured more.<BR/><BR/>Thomas had the better overall season since he played every snap and anchored a line that produced 2 1,000 receivers and a 1,000 rusher along with helping Anderson look like the first real QB Cleveland has had in quite some time. Peterson was definitely awesome though.Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717708280637709412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-15729768998610423852008-01-03T10:45:00.000-05:002008-01-03T10:45:00.000-05:00"Here's the thing, does the Big East really have a...<I>"Here's the thing, does the Big East really have anything on the WAC anymore?

Nice to see WVU go against the trend of most major programs and promote a deserving assistant to head coach...whatever his name is.<BR/><BR/>I'm no NFL GM, but even I know it's going to take alot more than the Cowboys two low first round picks this year to jump up to the Dolphins number #1 spot. I wouldn't make the trade regardless.

And to people like poster Dave Levy who was so ready to dismiss the Big East altogether I think we showed the country something. It's been an amazing run for us and I'm going to keep on enjoying it for a few more years with PW and Devine. I also wonder how much we can keep discussing "WVU" choking against Pitt. Maybe it was RichRod, not WVU who choked. If that's the case, then good riddance, we're much better off without a "genius" who gets ultra-conservative in the biggest game of the year. Heck, you can't tell me he wasn't thinking about the Michigan job before that game.<BR/> And yes, it is disappointing that we could have been in the championship, but didn't LSU choke on Arksansas, Oklahoma on Texas Tech, etc. But with all the adversity we faced, this victory is not meaningless...we have now won 3 straight bowls: Sugar, Gator, Fiesta...and we'll be back next year just as good or better.mirthywvuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740820707188665398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-82236171521380226092008-01-03T08:34:00.000-05:002008-01-03T08:34:00.000-05:00Another exemption to my "Won't-talk-about-the-Mavs...Another exemption to my "Won't-talk-about-the-Mavs-until-the-Playoffs" rule that isn't really a rule since I talk about the Mavs every time something fairly noteworthy happens.<BR/><BR/>There, that's better.<BR/><BR/>That was a good interview with Gelf Magazine.
