Nothing for me to bash here. LJ is unable to get it done right now, no matter where you want to place the blame. So might as well give someone else a shot.

Hopefully, that will make a difference.

What holes? Do you see holes the O line is creating?

This may be hard considering he has no stats this year and is on the PUP list.

Dont know why he isnt released by now. Maybe they see something in him. I hope they do.

Kolby could be good i dont no that right now he would be able to do anything that LJ cant but its worth a shot to see.

Yea, its a real shame he got hurt last year.

When he did get carrys he showed promise.

That being said, I think our line is even worse than last year, and just hope that he can gain any sort of better positive yardage than we are getting out of LJ~

I liked what he did last year (what little we got to see), but the fact is we have no idea what he is going to be like until he starts practicing and playing.
Right now the running game can't get much worse..

Kolby Smith and his career 3.4 YPC. Let's not get too excited about him being back just yet.

Thats still 1.2 more than LJ :D

No you are right, but he did have that good game last year against Oakland(?) where he ran for 150 some yards.
Right now im just looking for positives and hope where ever I can. :beer:

3.4 > 2.4, so I'll be more excited about him than I am about LJ starting another week.

Unless LJ is going to shut me up by having an explosive, breakout week.

There won't be a breakout week against Washington. Unless Haynesworth doesn't play

Haynesworth is not haveing the same year he did a year ago but is still very good. Thats the big thing that scares me about this game. Him against the o line of the chiefs. If the chiefs can score Touchdowns instead of fieldgoals they will win.

You people are comparing Smith's YPC to LJ's of this year?!?!?! YOU CANT COMPARE!!! The o line this year is WORSE!!!!!!

Smith I was never impressed with. Smith will be garbage behind this o line.

mmm if we're going by career numbers

Larry 4.4 > Kolby 3.4

or by the season...

Larry 2.4 > Kolby 0

But Larry is looking more and more like a turd so I don't really care who gets the ball on run plays anymore as long as it doesn't involve Cassel scrambling...

I just watched the Josh Looney podcast for tonight, and he talked some about Kolby Smith.
It sounds like Looney really likes Smith, he says he is looking like and I quote: "A beast!".
He showed some footage of Smith from last years game against the Raiders. Holy smoke!!

Now I know this o-line is crap.. But when you look at the explosiveness of Smith vs LJ.. It's like night and day!
LJ looks slow on the first 3-4 yards (in the backfield) where as Smith just explodes of the snap.

Im not praising him as the second comming of LT, but I think he warrants some interrest and an extra look.

My biggest concern is the knee, that was a bad injury, but by all accounts he is in the shape of his life..

It was against a terrible Raiders defense. It didn't really matter who was running the ball, the result would've been the same.

I'd like to see some more action from him before a real opinion can be formed. But with a bad knee injury like that, you're never really the same.

I can't wait to see him play.

One thing I always noticed about Kolby though was that he's really good at squirting through for an extra yard or two when there's nothing there. That's something LJ hasn't been able to do.
