I remember a lot of threads after JT was traded about how we didnt have ONE player that stood out as the player that everybody feared and was really popular. Something like JT, or Zach, or Dan the Man. Well, I think we may have found him. With the resurgence, Ronnie has increased in popularity by a lot. And he is also the one player that when coaches gameplan, they look at him like 20 times. I knew we couldnt go a whole season without finding ONE guy. Thank god!
I agree, Ronnie is becoming the face of the Franchise. I think Porter is also becoming the leader of the Defense, which I had hoped he would. Yeah, this team is coming together and good things are on the horizon for our beloved Fins.
Yeah, I agree on Joey as well. This guy is getting some respect. As our rookies mature, they will start getting double coverage, which will open some holes for Porter to get to the QB. And whenever he gets a big play, it fires the whole defense up!
Without question. I thought he was the face of the franchise last year as well, his injury did nothing to change my opinion.
It's a little early still but yes... This time next year it could be Henne/Brown/(receiver) or Brown/Bell/Roth or Brown/Bell/Roth/Porter. Not just one dude though unless he rises to LT type of games and remains healthy for at least this year!
By LT I'm hoping you mean Lawrence Taylor but I know that's probably not what you mean. I think Brown could be considered the face of the franchise. Or Jake Long only because he's the #1 overall pick at a "franchise" position (Left Tackle, QB, etc).
