re: dammit! i can't help hoping Emery can live up to the promise

Best case scenario is that he knows this is his last chance to earn a chance at the pros, and it lights a fire under his arse. Then we will see what he can really do, and he had a lot of potential coming out of high school. Maybe... Maybe... he can be that guy at this level.

Worst case scenario, we have a big body to take some of the load from the others at the end of games we're winning, especially if one of the others gets injured.

Either way, it's good to have him back. He knows the offense. He can carry it and catch it, and he can pass-protect. I think his fumbling issues are behind him, but that's really the only thing that could be a problem.

So... Keep hoping.
