Ekblaw Granted, Jim McMahon runs better than Steve Fuller, but have you ever seen a quarterback roll out to the left, that is, a quarterback that was right-handed roll out to the left as well as Steve Fuller. It seems to be a favorite play of he Bears offence to have Fuller roll out (sprint out) to the left and throw it to a tight-end. It is somewhat ironic that the Bears are succeeding with Steve Fuller just as the 1972 Miami Dolphins succeeded with their back-up quarterback Earl Morral (sp). I suppose what I am really trying to get at is that in a very effective offensive scheme any component can be replaced. -- Gregory A. Green ihnp4!ihuxp!wbpesch
