Eric Flo kicked sphere once in awhile.
MickeyVB needs to cut down on his INT’s. Oh wait, he plays for the Lions. Nevermind.
Kramer,
Mickey does not need to cut down on his interceptions. He’s a risk taking, play making, stubborn quarterback. Combine that with confidence in the defense, and he doesnt mind throwing into triple coverage a few times a game. 😉
Jon Kinta doesn’t mind throwing into triple coverage either.
I miss not being able to watch (for the most part) the Tigers, Red Wings, and Spartans down here. Honestly, I don’t miss the Lions. Being Lions free is a good thing.
Considering my shortest pass was 110 yards, (having to start on the 1 inch line every time), and throwing into triple coverage at a minimum (pick it up vanbergs!), I’d say all in all that it wasn’t too bad of a season!!
You should do another season :-[
I am glad my character served your well :-*
Put payner on injured reserve 😛
