paynomind Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1981383Fare thee well, Emmitt. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ! Going to college gets you closer to the real world, kind of like climbing a tree gets you closer to the moon.

Mac the Knife Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 That sucks. I can't stand the Cowboys, but always liked Emmitt, and felt he should be able to go out on his own terms. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VandyDelphia Mike Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 To address the sub-title of the thread ...Or maybe he was so upset over the fact that new uniforms weren't released, that he told the team that if he doesn't get to see the new uniforms, he's retiring.Way to stick it to 'em Bidwill!

You forgot to Cyclopsis Joe your post..It should read:"a report on the nfl network said that there is a chance that marshall faulk, thank God, and deion, for the ninth time, may retire as well. I don't know how big of a chance, but that's what they said." I don't speak for democrats, democrats don't speak for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Marshall Faulk will continue to serve in a very valuable role for the Rams. While it's pretty clear that Steven Jackson will be the featured back in 2005 and beyond, Faulk can still be effective, especially on screens.

While it's pretty clear that Steven Jackson will be the featured back in 2005 and beyond, Faulk can still be effective, especially on screens. But if he's to be featured in screens predominately, then what would stop a defense from implimenting a package with an LB spy to cover him whenver he lines up in the back field? Without the ability to run, which he no longer has, he becomes a one dimensional player and virtually useless. Owner of Kalamazoo Tech Kobras (Nat'l College Fant. Assc.

Somehow, someway, he will at least attempt to make Marshall a useful player. The guy's nutty that way.Not saying it'll work, just staying he's not hanging it up next year.

In addition to what YH said...Your completely wrong to say that Marshall can't run anymore. He does not have the same quickness and speed he had before, but he can still run. When Martz is man enough to give the running game it's fair share of props, not only is the fact that Jackson is awesome exposed, but so it the fact the Marshall isn't all done just yet.

We outsiders can see he is a shade of his former self and almost expendable at this point with Jackson in the backfield. Owner of Kalamazoo Tech Kobras (Nat'l College Fant. Assc.
