Promising, but too soon to get carried away.
Agreed as to not getting carried away. I guess my post was more of a mental pep talk to myself as to the trade, which shocked and disappointed me at first. I am coming around to the fact that DeRo might not have been what we needed when we aquired him, and a player like Dax was more of a fit as to the puzzle.

Looked like he was running effortlessly the whole time.

That being said, I miss that big hunk of meat at the top of the box. Tchani had a lot of problems, he was a rookie for pete's sake. But he was big, and he was a target. I guess Tank is a little hunk of meat who runs around a lot, so we don't need him, but still... he's going to be big one day. Mostly because we let him go. If he stayed he would have wallowed and we would have hated him for it.

There are so many reasons why this was a good trade, but I think most importantly, it gives Teemu some space. After the first few games where he basically commanded the field, teams figured out that you could cut the head off the beast by double teaming him. Then he was stuck passing the ball back or getting hacked, with noone in the middle to help him out. Dax relieves the pressure and gives him someone to thread the ball to.

He's like Harry and we're the Hendersons.

Whenever I see RSL play, I see Beckerman and think they're lucky to have him, hopefully Dax will stick around long enough to develop into soemthing like that.
PLUS, coming over to 133 after the match, hopping over the advert boards and shaking hands with the entire front row was pure class.

This is the most important thing for me too, De Rosario completely left Tainio out to dry, the guy had to cover the entire middle third of the field by himself on both sides of the ball.
