Marcus Thibodeaux RB
The Porterhouse

S. Whitaker was cleared to play this week and did not get his job back. Marcus Thibodeaux started 8 games while he was out and the club has seen enough. This is the change that actually moves a fantasy roster.

1,671 yards over his first season. Eighteen touchdowns. Eighteen games.

Twenty-seven, and New Antwerp, Wisconsin before that. Ask anybody: he would rather be almost anywhere else on a Tuesday. The route here: undrafted out of Ozark Wesleyan, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum.

The Porterhouse are 11-4 through sixteen weeks. Cormac Bombardo is new. There is one year left on the deal.

Calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss.

This feature ran in the paper in week 16 of 1977. The rest of the season is there too.
