I'm excited about him... but it's pretty early.

I agree. However, we faced the
a few weeks back when they were 32nd against the run, (I still believe they are ranked in the bottom half of th league against the run), and yet we couldnt do shit against them. We have the 30th ranked rush defense, so its not like we're somthing special... Smith showed me one thing today, he can make somthing out of nothing. On most of his runs, he easily gained 2-3 to even 4 yards extra when it looked like he was going to be stopped. He runs with LJ power, and preist holmes elusiveness. He can make guys miss. especially when he got in space, he ripped off 18-19 yard runs mainly because he made guys miss him once he got past first contact. hes fast too. The OL blocked fairly well, but this guy made them look better.
This was the first game I have seen since 05, where our running game was ripping off 5 yards a pop, with ease.
