Wow!

Maybe him and Penny can combine to play a full season?

No word in the compensation yet

Howie going all in again even after the exodus. If Steen can play they've got every hole covered.

"Really, I feel like it's just a mentality. How I run," Swift told ESPN. "God blessed me [with] a lot of ability and talent, first and foremost, but just being able to work at them type of things with knowing [defensive backs] like to go low. So, I'm gonna deliver the blow. That's my mentality every time I touch the ball."

That physical nature. That short-area quickness. That explosiveness. That's all a product, Swift says, of being from Philadelphia.

"That's where I get my mentality from. That's why I play the way that I play," the Lions' second-year pro said. "It's why I carry myself the way that I do. Philly has shaped me into this man that I am today and this football player that I'm becoming."

Maybe we get five games a piece from Penny, Swift, Gainwell as lead back, then we ride Scott for the Giants.

The thing that gets me is that the Eagles were the team to ask for the '0' rule change, and that was months before they had Swift. So did someone else want the 0 and Swift stole it? Or is Howie 8 chess moves ahead?
