We were talking about a fitting punishment for LJ. It was sarcasm. Get off me.

I agree, Haley is a pass first coach, I could see this turning into an Edgerrin James type of situation that AZ had last year. Edg said he wasn't being paid to be a lineman, LJ won't be happy being a "lineman", he still thinks he's an ProBowl runner.
I bet LJ spits at the idea of being a blocking running back.
Haley was a pass first coach because he had 2 of the best receivers in the league, a vet QB, a very solid 3rd WR and a solid TE whereas he had a rookie that couldn't take the load and an aging vet carrying the ball. We're not going to see that same level of pass offense next year. If the Haley/Gailey tandem is smart (which I think they are) and LJ is around, they're going to use his services as well as those of Charles and Smith to create a better balance in the offense. Using our running game to complement the pass game is going to take a lot of pressure off of whichever QB is starting next season. We don't have the same tools that Arizona did, so don't expect the same type of play.
Wow and I thought I was a Hawkeye Homer. I would love to get Shonn Greene but realistically he had a great year 1 great year, for him to be taken off the board at a higher pick then Adrian Peterson (7th overall). I would like to get Greene in the third of fourth round. I feel he may very well have the character that LJ lacks.
