Where is Troy Hambrick?

[CowboyMike]

Does anyone know who he's with currently? Is he out of the league?

Last time I heard of him he was backing up Emmitt in Arizona.

I seem to remember Parcells really liked him, he was a good character in the locker room, and he wanted to keep him as a "change of pace" back. However, Hambrick jetted to the Raiders for the opportunity for the starting job.

I seriously think we could use him as our big back for goal line and short yardage. I thought he was a better option than Anthony Thomas last year and even Eddie George.

Hambrick was always good for 7-8 yards when he came in as a change of pace. His production dropped when he became a starter.

Not sure where he is right this second, but last week he took my order for a Big Mac at McDonalds! lol.

Destiny called upon him and his brother! Both of them had a case of the 'I think I am better than I really am'.

Short yardage back? Do you not remember all those times he got the ball on third and one and flopped for an inch.

I would rather give the ball to MBIII on the goalline. Barber will get me six about 90% of the time. Hambrick, maybe 9% of the time.

Well that was when he was a starter and teams were game planning for him. When he came in to give Emmitt a breather he was much more productive.

he was just spotted off of 278 going towards brooklyn

 

[FRDRCK]

i think he was on the cards during preseason last year, and wore no. 22

As far as I know of he ate himself out of the league. He has the physical tools but not the mental tools.

Hanging out with his brother......shooting dice......smoking wacky backy.......discussing their NFL careers.

Hambrick doesn't have anywhere near the physical tools necessary to be a good NFL RB.

He's got a power back's body, but doesn't have the running style of a power back. Never seen a 230+ lb RB go down on first contact more then Hambrick did. That's not mental, that's physical.


His style didn't fit his body type. Same as Ron Dayne. People expected him to be this big power back just cuz of his size, but that simply isn't his style of running.

Body size does not dictate running style. Look at Emmitt and Barry. Almost identical in size, but almost completely opposite in styles (with a couple of similiarities, but overall, very very different).

IMO That was mental. He didn't seem to like contact but he's not our problem anymore

I heard he got a job as a landscaper but got fired because he kept tripping over the grass.

How long did it take you to think that one up?

Hambrick is a terrible short yardage runner...to be as big and as strong as he is, he runs like a huge pusskatore

waste of a roster spot

Was it Hambrick who was involved in the fumbled exchange during the closing minutes against Pittsburg a while back?

If your talking about the game at Texas Stadium when Big Ben was a rookie then no..... Vinny and Richie Anderson fumbled

 

[dback]

That's the one...Very hard to watch

I can honestly say that this is the first time I've ever seen that word in my entire life.
