OnTheRocks Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I just have to ask again....does anyone else think he looks slow? Is it a guarantee he will regain his pre-injury speed? I know the OL wasn't opening gapping holes for him to run through....and other than his one long run...he showed no burst.

We are used to TH running full speed ahead with impresisve results. WM has a different style, but no less impressive. I don't know if you are criticizing Willis, or offering a backhanded complement, but four 100 yard games in 5 starts seems pretty impressive to me. Is he all the way back? Nope, and that really gives us something to look forward to.
Talonz Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 He looks pretty darn good to me... Is he full speed? Probably not, but that is a good thing! If he recovers even more he will get even faster ?? That one play that was called back was one of the most exciting plays I have seen in the last 10 years!!! It was SWEET Travis who?

He looks slow to me when he's running, even when he's outrunning the defense. Then I see Travis run, and I realize how much faster Willis is. Then Willis runs, and he looks slow, even though he's outrunning someone on defense. I need a radar gun.
OnTheRocks Posted November 22, 2004 Author Posted November 22, 2004 i am definately not criticizing him. I love the guy. I just sort of hope to see him bust off an 80 yard run. (maybe without a flag thrown )
