I have been doing this long enough to have written off men like P. Northcutt, who was signed off a practice squad in November and never gave the job back. 148 yards is the league's way of saying nothing is settled. Out of Fitchett State, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. The ones who arrive like this tend to know what it cost. That is usually worth something in December.

This story ran on the wire in week 2 of 2003. The rest of the season is in the paper.
