It did. That was their only drive worth a shit.
By the way, the Cards had the league's 12th ranked offense a year ago. 25 points a game. Not exactly horrible. We had two good 12-play drives against their defense and our defense more than held it's own. We get the ball into the end zone once or god forbid twice and people around here are jumping for joy.

Uh, the Cards were 4-5, 3 and out drives with the first team in I believe. Hardly outplayed. And that was with their best QB in. It's not like the first team D did that against a POS like Lienart. There was a legit NFL QB in.

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.

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.

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. FAX |

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. |

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. |
