Herschel Walker was heralded as the greatest runner to ever play college football. He won the coveted Heisman trophy as a junior, a feat not many achieve. He once could leap an entire defense with a single bound. He could run faster than most speeding sprinters and was stronger than the entire Georgia team v' put together. He could do it all. The New Jersey Generals of the USFL thought he could do it all, too. That's why they signed him to a $5 million deal over three years. That wo no ed when Walker played his first game. Walker has been a major disappointment to the new league and to himself. With him in the starting backfield, New Jersey has lost its first three games. With Walker's sub-p-ar offensive showing, the Generals have scored less points (24) than any team in the entire league. Probably most embarrassing of all, Walker rushed for 39 yards in. 19 carries in the Generals' home opener before 53370 fans. His longest gain that game was a whopping 9 yards. New Jersey lost to Tampa Bay .32-- 9. In Walker's first three games he has rushed for a meager 164 yards. He used to " gain that m a half for Georgia. What's happened? Part of Walker's poor showing can be blamed on the Generals' inexperience. Three rookies start on the offensive line, and Walker himself isn't that accustomed to the pro game: I have to wonder if some jealousies haven't crept into the minds of Herschel's teammates. It's possible that those offensive linemen can block, but just don't want to. Let the man making the money fend for himself. Although highly improbable, that could be part of the problem. w viKcr lua uhi w ucoi wiui iui ui pressure siutc un Mgmug, as has the entire Generals team.

I wouldn't be sorry either if I was making $5 million. One thing is certain, if Walker doesn't start playing up to his capabilities, the New Jersey owners are going to be mighty sorry for their failing investment, vu 1 - fir Mttmr - wan 70 Count G EWER DC , ; WOTEBOOK 812 x 1 1 GM - MEMOREX 3;pal!t-g)- 0 $9.58 ' ft OWLY 690 mop.
