What's happenin', hot stuffs?
Everything happens for a reason.
LJ has had to have his eyes on the D while getting the ball from Huard.
Believe it or not I used to play QB (in high school, we had a pretty competitive team) and it is not exactly easy for a QB to get the snap, take his steps to the RB and make the handoff to a RB like LJ when there are D in the backfield. It throws everything off.
Don't really know how to explain the concept I am trying to explain I guess.
LJ is explosive off the snap and gets to Huard at the SAME time as the D gets to him. There is just nothing a RB or QB can do about that.
This is not improvisation, and jukes and stuff. If the play never gets started because of the O line, how can you blame someone who hasn't had a chance to even GET the ball?
Am I making any sense at all? Not being sarcastic, just don't see how you can't see this.
sigh..
My point exactly. He doesn't have a hole to hit.
And he can't get to the line on half of his carries, even if there was a hole.
Since you were the Priest type of RB, I assume you had holes to hit and THEN juke the D.
Just remember that LJ doesn't have that luxury.
LJ made a statement, last season, about how he has a connection with Herm, because he is black. He went on to state that he could never have that kind of relationship with a white man. It wasn't really all that horrible of a thing to say, but if the races involved were reversed, then it would have been a huge story.
Yes, but I think that you are exaggerating how often he is being hit as soon as he gets the ball, and downplaying the level of responsibility that LJ has for his own rushing statistics. When he does get the ball, without getting hit immediately, then he needs to ba able to make something happen, alot more frequently than he has been doing.
I never thought that he was any better than he is right now. I think that he was a product of a great offensive line and a great offensive system. Now, he is just another runningback.
I do agree that he has done surprisingly well as far as not crying to the press...yet.
I wouldn't even bother man, they aren't even listening. I have seen some holes this year, and when they're there, he usually explodes in them. Case and point, 40yrd run vs the Chargers, a couple 20 yrd runs against the Bengals, he's still got it, we just need something to take the defense's mind off LJ, preferably........A PASSING GAME.
