I read it in the LA Times newspaper. I tried finding the online link but I couldn't find the article online.

Speaking of ex-sioux players, I just read an article in the local newspaper that Jeff Weber was a standout at a tryout for the La Avengers arena football team this past weekend. I am from North Dakota and now work in California and I was excited to hear that an ex-sioux player was doing well. I just don't remember hearing much about him last year. But anyway he seems to be representing North Dakota well.

I guess irrelevant wasn't the right word. I am trying to say it is hard to judge because you don't know what kind of competition he went against, since nd isn't that strong. not to offend anybody that is from north dakota. I am from the west coast and I have seen high school football from all over thats all. But back on subject. I would like him to go back to running back and see what he could do. and hopefully prove me wrong about north dakota high school football players. I also would like to see anthony longe return kicks. I heard he was on scout offense last year and was very quick.

I agree with you in a sense that he needs to be back at running back. All I was getting at is they should start him with just a handful of carries a game and see what he does. If he shows he deserves more then give him more. I don't think he is ready to be the feature back, but I do think he should be at running back and not receiver. I don't know the stats off hand you could be right but were most of those runs reverses or at the end of games against second team defenses.

I think he is to small to be the featured back. Playing football in big time D2 is a lot different then North Dakota high school football. I would say he deserved a shot if he had those stats in states like Texas, California, Florida or even Colorado but North Dakota high school football is irrelevant because it isn't that competitive in the sense of having a lot of big time athletes. Yes he is a good athlete there is no question about it, but I saw all of the games last year and a lot of those punt returns anyone they put back there could have got a bunch of yards on them. UND has always had a good punt return team. If you remember from the year before Luek had a lot of success also and the return team pretty much had the same guys blocking. The only significant change was the returner and the results were the same except Luek had more for touchdowns, so I would give the credit to the blockers. I haven't seen anything spectacular that has set him apart to be given the oppertunity to be the featured back. Again he is a great athlete. I would like to see him move back to running back because I don't think he is a very good receiver. I think he could help us a lot more at running back not as the featured back but as a third down back or someone who gets 5 or 6 carries a game. And lastly about the injury factor I beleive he was hurt for the beginning of last year (not positive so correct me if wrong)
