nace14 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 for those of you claiming this is the begining of the new posse, i suggest you rethink that thought because EL is the new b-mitch, not gary clark. it's good to have a versitile all purpose producer like b-mitch back on the team.

Kelvin Bryant Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 "In 2005, Randle El was an intricate part of the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl Championship season..." Probably "intrinsic" is the term the PR guys were groping around for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Gibbs II Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 As long as he can catch a punt I am happy. I am tired of Antonio "heart attack waiting to happen" Brown's poor punt catching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Full Monty Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 With Randel-El taking over as our return specialist --- we won't have to hold our breaths in complete fear watching Antonio Brown decide whether to fair catch or return the punt...
