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:

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