That's what 45 mil. pays for. LJ did have a good game today. Although, I could have yelled my lungs out today at work when I saw him carelessly handling the football allowing the defense to swat it out of his hand through the back of the end zone.

As much as I love to disagree with you about Priest and LJ, I cant disagree on this. I am so totally behind LJ but he has to learn that he isnt going to be money on every play. The trick is to not get down on yourself and the team and have a short memory, LJ has way to good a memory. The play where he got the penalty was just stupid.
I dont think Priest will ever be the #1 running back again, but I do see him jumping back in at #2 Kolby hasnt been given a chance and Bennett isnt that good. Nuff said.
I am also getting tired of the performance, and penalties.
I blame the performance on the line and the obvious play calling. I think that the reason LJ is keeping away from the press is that he is pissed that Huard is in and that is preventing more robust pass play calling.
He doesn't want to say something that will cause a QB controversy, and or a Head Coach/Offensive Coord controversy.
I think he is being pretty mature about not saying things to the press (thank you Dick Vermiel) and is super frustrated to see his team in this shape without any passion shown from the coaching staff.
I am not going to elaborate more on my feelings because we won and don't want to cause more controversy on the site.
We wont know what he is able to do unless we let him come back and play. He has something to prove to everyone. I respect him for not quitting after being out for 2 seasons cuz of an injury then comming back wanting to play. He has been working tward this moment. I think he should get his chance.
This is something I hadnt thought about, but it makes sense, a lot of us me included are getting upset at LJ, a few are saying he isn't a team player, but he has used a lot of restraint to not go to the media and whine about what is going on.
To me this shows a lot of class, I am sure if I was him I would be frustrated also, but even the haters have to admit it shows some class that he hasn't had any public fits, he isnt calling out huard or hermie, he is just getting frustrated and showing passion.
I do feel he needs a shorter memory but this is something I hadn't thought of thanks HH.
It does show class that he doesnt call anbody out. I think one reason why he doesnt call anybody out or go to the press is it would cause people to dislike LJ more. I think hes trying to avoid that. It seems like hes starting to respect the team and they are respecting him more. Expect to see the old LJ start to come back with a more motivated O line to block for him better.
