If the line block well, LJ will be a beast.

you bigger issue is weather you will have a QB that actually makes the defense play honest enough to not stack the box and only be concerned about the run.

Oh you mean not handcuff the QB where they have to run into stacked fronts?

Maybe the coaches will let the QB audible, QB can keep the defense honest if the Coaches arent SCARED like the last 2 years.

I'm hoping this new Chan offense will work similiar to Denver's in regards to running backs. Denver's system has had a history of allowing average backs to do great things. If our system is similiar, then a great back like LJ could be absolutely brilliant.

Also- I'm glad LJ's a chief, he's a monster, but I wouldn't put it past him to dog it a little bit in preseason. Don't know that he has been for sure, but I wouldn't put it past the guy. Gotta give him credit as it does appear that he got himself in his usual chiseled - out - of - stone shape in the offseason, so the guy may be egotistical but he isn't lazy.....

you have to be scared when your QB is unproven and hasn't demonstrated what he is capable of....yet.

Any RB can thrive in this new cutback Donkey offensive.

B_Ambuehl · 08-18-2008, 03:18 PM

Not unless/until he gets bench for Kolby Smith.

LJ only runs well when he's pissed off.

Demonpenz · 08-18-2008, 03:19 PM

I thought he went down aweful easy in a couple runs

Then after the game he'll plow your mom and give her a nice creampie.

I look for LJ to have a good season. Barring another wussy injury, of course.

I think our line is just good enough to bring a halfway decent running game. Nothing spectacular. But, the main thing is this; we have change of pace RBs to send in with fresh legs and lots and lots of speed. That will make all the difference. If the mysterious and inscrutable Chan has the sense of a homeless, deformed emu, he'll call plays that run the enemy all over the field wearing them down so that, by the 3rd quarter, LJ can rip the enemy's soul right out of their ass, douse it with some 5 dollar gas, set it ablaze on the 50 yard line, urinate on the ashes, and dance on the grisly remains for the enjoyment of all.

But he also must show his dynasty sign while performing such celebrations.

If he does it would be surprising, backs like him usually breakdown very early on especially with the high number of carries he's had.
