L.j. has about as much business criticizing vermeil as Kotter does saying the N-Bomb, even if they are both just playin.
L.J. was not ready to start when Vermiel was coach, he is barely ready now, other than being the best pure back with the ball in his hands. (See Fujita Dallas, Fumble in Denver)
L.J. Needs to keep working hard on his pass protection, and catching the ball out of the backfield, and protecting the football.
He has all the moves he needs once he gets the ball, and the line is good enough. He has to get even more unpredictable, and better at the other areas of his game.
The offense under Vermiel mandates that l.j. do these things, that is why he didn't start sooner. He simply couldn't do them, and he showed signs of immaturity, such as losing his playbook, etc.
He has no one to blame but himself.
