I love Larry and all, but there's something weird about the way he's been running this preseason. Maybe he's not going full speed or he doesn't have his legs under him yet, but something is...off...he doesn't look like the old Larry. It's like there's a hitch in his gitalong. It's not HUGE, but I see something.
That's what I was talking about in regards to him not being pissed off. I've noticed that since the latter part of 2005. He piled up a lot of yards then and in '06 due to the strength of the offensive line...but with few exceptions he hasn't run aggressively since early '05 when he was trying to prove he should be the starter ahead of Priest. He's more powerful now and probably even faster now with the offseason training he's done the last couple of years, but he's running with patience and that's not something he should be doing. Guaranteed if Herm goes a couple of games where Smith and Charles get the majority of the carries that'll light a fire under his ass.

I think you've put your finger on it, Mr. B_Ambuehl. Hesitancy. LJ's running with hesitancy ... like he doesn't trust the hole to be there, so he's waiting for it to open up. Or, maybe it's simply because he's a little tired of getting hit by 9 guys at the LOS.

I think I noticed it most on his 18-yard gallop. It didn't look like he was running full speed. It's like he saw a corner 10 yards in front of him and wanted to put a move on him. I want Larry to just go full speed and run that ****er over. I'm not sure what's going on.

They say that most guys reach a point in their NFL career (if it lasts that long) when they just don't want to take any more hits. It's a subconscious thing. If that's what's going on, he probably doesn't even realize it.

It's weird because I do see Larry go full speed, but it seems I only see it when he's trying to run away from people. He doesn't seem to want to run full speed into guys anymore.

Where do people get he had a lot of carries and is old? 1 year at Penn State and Barely 2 full seasons in the NFL really. He did have 1 year with a ton of carries, but he's not relaly carried the ball all that much.

Who knows? Maybe he's become gun shy? It happens.

Last year, he was getting hammered - up until the injury anyway. One could speculate that was part of the reason he kept fussing and throwing the ball. Perhaps he was not only flustrated with the line and the playcalling, but also with himself. Channeling the subconscious fear of contact in the form of tantrums.

He's 29 I believe which is old for a RB, and that 400+ carry year took away any low carry seasons he's ever had.

It's like if you have a car, if it has low miles and is well taken care of, that doesn't mean you get to abuse it by driving it around with no oil and think it's still going to be in better shape.

He's 28. The second assertion is completely poppycock.

I'd love for you to show me RB's that don't show effects of being completely abused...a 400+ carry year is complete abuse.

It would almost make some sense if he was a shifty guy who avoided contact and never took big hits but he's the complete opposite of that.

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.

All of them other running backs had years of it though outside of Jamal Lewis and he did pretty damn well last year.

Also, i dont see what people are see'ing when they say he's not running hard this year. He's pounding the ball, but when someone hits you in your legs, your going to go flying. lol People get really low when they try to tackle LJ. He also runs upright. Its just his style. Erik Dickerson used to run the same way, but lets not get it twisted i dont think LJ is in the same area code as Dickerson yet.

I think LJ has about 2-3 years of 1200-1700 yard seasons in him, but the time is running out on him and Gonzo. lol

Dickerson showed alot of injury problems on the backside of his career, he also played in a time when the players weren't as big and fast...

The shelf life of RB's gets shorter and shorter, the assertion of having a franchise RB gets more and more rare.

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.
