Yes, in my opinion they are great players, but I guess in your definition, i should say really good? I did state that they are capable of being stars because even though I say great, i consider them to be a level down from the stars in the league, currently. so i agree with you that they arent at that level yet, and by your definition i will say they are really good players.
as for not hearing about them, a player isnt talked about much unless they have a chance to make a play, and for them to do that they need a pass to catch. now, Randy is a great blocker, and a leader, he got up into the OLINE's faces and had a few things to say to try to get them going, just a few games back.....he plays with emotion and with leadership and does anything he can when he does see a pass to make it into a good play....and he blocks, and leads, and catches and just makes plays....i have seen 3 of the 4 games Miami has played and i will just say Randy has been talked about a lot, including this past weekend against the Jets when it seemed he was the only one doing anything good....since Chambers was out of this game with an injury.
so as far as saying the announcers arent saying much about the guys, well, after 3 games this year, i have to say chambers hasnt been talked about much but Randy has.....and they are both good blockers but you wont hear an announcer say anything about blocking because one thing that isnt something they give praise for as much as they should and the other thing.....and i have watched and analyzed Miami this year for the 3 games so i have seen it.....the RB never gets more than 2 yds, a WR has no chance ot show he can block down the field if the play never makes it past the DLINE......and if you dont believe me, look up the Dolphins yards per carry this year and see for yourself.....so both can catch, both can block, and i dont judge talent by what an announcer has to say, but that is just me.
Here you go: 4 90 239 2.7(average/carry)
239 yds in 4 games? are you kidding me? This article was about how bad Miami's offense is this year and who is to blame. I will stand by the comment that Chambers and Randy are stars and would be top notch with a better offense, or should i say QB and line. Funny thing is...randy is already in the top 3 TE's in this league:
Eric Johnson SFO 4 28 298 74.5 10.6 25 2.0 16 1 0 0 0.0 0.0 0 1 1
Randy McMichael MIA 4 24 274 68.5 11.4 37 4.9 18 1 0 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0
Alge Crumpler ATL 4 16 250 62.5 15.6 33 5.3 10 1 0 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0
But I will agree to disagree.....since you think they arent that great and arent talked about by the announcers, then ok. I would still have to say they are in the top few in their positions. More Randy than Chmabers because i know TO and Harrison and Moss and some others are better at this point in their careers.
Thanks for all the comments though, been fun reading and seeing other views.
