Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote a great piece about senior running back Larry Rountree III (Larry Three-Sticks) and how he’s a key piece — maybe THE key piece — to a team that has a new staff, a yet to be determined quarterback — there are 5 currently on the roster, and little receiver experience, among other issues. This means the elder statesman just might be the most important player on Coach Drink’s roster.
With a passing game short on continuity and chemistry, a proven running back of Rountree’s caliber is a treasured asset.
