Ninja, I believe it was you who said that Willie Parker would be a bust this season, and he couldnt carry the running load all on his own...Well, I believe he proved you wrong to a tune of 29 carries for 115 yds against a supposedly stingy Dolphins defense...I believe the play that sticks out most in my mind is when Willie ran through the arms of Zach Thomas for a 32 yard between the tackles run...
I'm pretty sure when people say that a RB can't "carry the load", they are talking about the whole season. I'm not saying he won't be able to, but he hasn't proved anything in one game.

EXACTLY. He also touched the ball(s) more than you do to rack up those numbers. We will see, he looked very average Thursday night.
