I'm excited too, he's lost 35-40 pounds this offseason, and is in great shape... but health was never his biggest problem. Until yesterday, Dayne had been one of the biggest bust running backs in recent memory. His style of running at Wisconsin never translated well into the NFL no matter how much weight he put on (he was up to 270 last year), and he hit the holes like he was afraid of what was on the other side. I bet Mister D would be able to agree with me, Ron Dayne has been a terrible running back thus far in his career.
Coughlin, his new coach, has said though that Dayne is gonna be a big part of the offense, and that explains why the guy has gone through such a physical and mental change. He never got along with Fassel, who even deactivated for all 16 games last season.
Hyde, it's not that I try to know everything, I just do -- either that, or it's a message board where debates would never happen if everyone was all agreeable and pussyfooting about their opinions... but probably the former.
