polksalet Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Just thought this was interesting for those of you interested in LT's handcuff! Turner describes Hester as a “natural runner” who will have plenty of chances to make plays with the ball in his hands, regardless of whatever may be asked of him. “He is going to get the opportunity to be the guy that gives LT a break, the Michael Turner role, if you will,” Turner said. “He is a talented guy. He catches well and is a good runner. He can block. We’ll just see the kind of progress he makes through the preseason.” While Hester has carried much of the load while rookies, first-year players and select veterans get a head start on training camp this week, he realizes he’ll likely be asked to do more of the dirty work once the rest of his teammates arrive this weekend. That’s completely okay with him. “When you’re a fullback, (blocking) is just something we like doing,” Hester said. “It’s the reason we like playing football. Everybody likes getting the ball, but it’s not the main thing.” Wow, that is almost exactly what I said 2 months ago. Brian Leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
