Marco Rivera

[LittleBoyBlue]

I think that this guy will come back like a man possessed. Healed up and ready to SHOW what he can do.

I know he aint happy with the way things worked out for him in his first year in big D.

A lot of people on that bandwagon. I expect major improvements in his game as well.

I don't question that man's desire, but I do question his health. I don't expect him to return to his former form. After a back injury like that, a person may never be the same. If Rivera cannot return to his old form, he should retire.

whoa, whoa, let's deal with what we know...which is nothing, wait and see the reports on him this offseason

and then watch him for 16 games in '06

We need a contigency plan. If we count on Rivera, than we deserve what ever happens if he isn't the same. We must resign Gurode.

There are plenty of players that come back from back injuries and he has already done that without any setbacks. It was his strength that was lacking and that is understandable since he couldn't lift weights for a significant part of the offseason. Canty had the same problem with his eye injury. I totally expect major improvement from the both of them.

"Must" might be a strong word. BP may have another idea in mind.

Move Tucker to guard where he belongs

I don't think it would be wise to give up on Rivera this soon. I also don't think it would be wise to go without addressing some depth.

The way I would try to handle it would be to draft a young guard who could sit behind Marco or Larry or play, if needed.

Nothing wrong with that idea.
