5th Preseason Game?

Que Card QB · 09-05-2007, 02:39 PM

This quote disturbs me.

"Larry is going to be on a little bit of a leash early," coach Herman Edwards said Tuesday. "He has to get his legs underneath him. Michael's healthy, which is good. We feel very comfortable with the runners we have now. It's not all on L.J., which is good."

A leash?! I sure hope he meant limit his touches, 'cause if they're putting him on a leash, they're still playing to test the team--not win the game.

Calling it right. LJ hold out = not quite ready for RS.
Bennett/Smith cast of others will carry the water game 1.

I'm not worried cause we will see lj out there. But we not going to kill him by running him all the time.

Herm isn't brave enough not to give Larry his touches. Everyone knows we give it to LJ, he's all we got. LJ=Chiefs

I think you'll see LJ doing just fine against the Texans. Even though it was his first three carries of the season, in the Rams preseason game he still got what 12yds? I think he'll do just fine. I also hope Bennett can actually stay healthy this season.

Yea, I think Bennet will be key if he stays healthy.

All this means is he's going to limit his carries a little so he doesn't over do..meaning he'll only carry the ball about 30-35 times

I'd expect him to get 15 touches.
