Guest Edgy DC Guests Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 ="Nymr83":2flrdrj9]The conclusion I'm drawing from that is that there is no reason to expect more offensive production out of either position, at least not in 2008.[/quote:2flrdrj9]I agree you shouldn't expect more out of second. But I think you should demand more.duan's proposal makes too much sense.
