I have been doing this long enough to have written off men like Devon Cannonbury, who was signed off a practice squad in November and never gave the job back. 175 yards is the league's way of saying nothing is settled. He will not step on the painted logo at midfield, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. It counts the same as anybody else's.
He has 15,975 yards from scrimmage in seven seasons, and 230 touchdowns. His best was 3,457. This is not that, yet.
He turned twenty-eight this year. He is from Ashfork, Arizona. Around the building he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it.
Nightshift, 4-6, and eleven weeks gone. Meatball Speight is in year six of it.
