How ya doing. Lord Hughey Windsor-Sanchez here, from sunny Jersey, answering your Monday morning messages:
“Lord Hughey Windsor-Sanchez,
Love the column. Please forgive me for the feebleness of my message. I am but a poor orphan, and Mr. Bumble only allows us 10 minutes internet time a year. And he makes us type it all with some sort of quill.
My question, sir, is which players in your NFL football league really need to step up, and have a breakout season in the year of our lord 2009.
“Little” Timmy O’ Mulligan
Some 18th century orphanage. Probably in England”
Great question Timmy. And keep with the quill. My pap always told me “chicks dig good penmanship.”
Here’s my three breakout guys, you dig?
The biggest misconception about this stud is that he had an average rookie season. The kid had a great rookie season—he was just protected by Al. I’m sick of these people breaking Al’s balls.
Look at the facts.
He only had 113 carries, and still managed nearly 500 yards, at 4.4 yards a pop. If you add in his 29 receptions, you’re talking 734 yards from 142 touches. 5.1 yards every time he got the ball.
The kid’s just a baller, aint no mistake. The only game he got more than 15 carries, he torched the chiefs for 164 at 7.8 yards per rush!
He will have a huge season.
Reminds me of the time me, Al, Sammy, and Frank hit the Copa in ’62. What a night. That’s another story though.
Vernon Gholston
This kid’s unfairly been cast off as a “bust”. He’s no bust. He was just a scary bad pick by The Jets. The kid’s a hybrid pass rusher in a 3-4. Why’s a 4-3 team taking him?
Madness I tells ya.
Rex is a personal friend, and I can assure you that he loves Gholston. Sat on the loungers, in Acapulco in ’82, he tells me “Sanchez, baby, I love these hybrid rushers”.
The kid’s a specialist pass rusher. The problem last season was that he wasn’t allowed to rush the passer enough.
Rex will bring him into games on the outside to go after the quarterback, and he will flourish from there.
