ESPN NFL Live just ripped on Larry Johnson......

[hypersensitiveZO6]

...bad.

The discussion was on AFC RunningBacks:

They started by saying he wasn't an elite back.

Elite backs included Tomlinson, Rudi Johnson

Put him in a category with Ronnie Brown and Willis McGahee.

Said toward the end they would trade LJ for Rudi Johnson, Ronnie Brown, and (I didn't catch the last part, but I believe also) Shaun Alexander.

Discuss.

[Saulbadguy]

Rudi Johnson? You gotta be ****in kiddin me.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I hope this makes LJ mad!

[el borracho]

Good. Get angry Larry. Get very, very angry.

[tyton75]

More people need to say chit like this.. the last thing I want is for Larry to be "content"

[el borracho]

Oh, and http://youtube.com/watch?v=fR8Ug7UWySI&search=larry%20johnson

[Chiefnj]

He hasn't played a single full 16 game schedule yet. He isn't an elite back yet. Should Hicks be considered an elite DE because he had one good season?

[dirk digler]

WTF? :banghead:

Rudi Johnson.. ROFL

LT - Yes

[hypersensitiveZO6]

They acted like LJ wasn't consistent at all, just because he only started 9 games. It really doesn't make any sense. They'll all uneduated pricks.

[bogie]

I hope LJ proves them wrong.

[Rooster]

:cuss: Get MAD LJ!!!! Take your diapers off. Get MAD LJ!!!! :cuss:

[chefsos]

Good. I'm already tired of all the LJ knob-polishing in the national media. If the hype that started last year kept building, no superhuman feat that he may accomplish now would surprise anyone, and I like my guys to surprise people. I'm weird like that.

[tk13]

Who said that? I know Salisbury had been saying he thought LJ would be MVP this season.

[sedated]

9 straight 100 yard games.

1750 yards / 20TD's in limited time.

almost Rudi Johnson-like numbers :rolleyes:

[MOhillbilly]

This will put LJ over the top and every down this season will be his own personal handlebar moment.

i predict he will cruise to 10000 yards.

[dirk digler]

They acted like LJ wasn't consistent at all, just because he only started 9 games. It really doesn't make any sense. They'll all uneduated pricks.

Yep

9 games 1750 yds 5.2 avg and 20 TD's. Boy does he suck

[chagrin]

And Ronnie Brown isn't an Elite Back period - who bashed LJ, fuggin dip shit Merril Hoge?

[sedated]

...Said toward the end they would trade LJ for Rudi Johnson, Ronnie Brown, and (I didn't catch the last part, but I believe also) Shaun Alexander.

those teams would kill for those trades.

I guess that's why those douche-bags are sitting in a TV studio instead of an NFL office.

[4th and Long]

Good. Get angry Larry. Get very, very angry.

[DJJasonp]

We need to find out LJ's address and send him tapes and articles like this on a daily basis.

"Keep Larry Angry in 06-07" campaign begins...

Ronnie Brown??? What a joke....

They can't be this stupid are they talking about FFL?

[hypersensitiveZO6]

It was Tom Jackson, some other guy, and of course Trey Wingo.

[sedated]

It was Tom Jackson, some other guy, and of course Trey Wingo.

:rolleyes:

there's a surprise

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Rudi Johnson and Ronnie Brown? I'll have to send an email over there and ask them to mail me some of whatever they're smokin

[hypersensitiveZO6]

They can't be this stupid are they talking about FFL?

No, I couldn't believe it. They said Rudi Johnson was consistant and LJ wasn't.

[arrowheadnation]

One of them said they'd trade LJ for Ronnie Brown because Ronnie Brown can go 80 whenever he wants and LJ can't....whatever the hell that means.

[Brock]

I'd have to say they're morons. Either that or they did it as a favor to Herm.

[hypersensitiveZO6]

I think 107, 132, 211, 119, 140, 143, 167, 131, and 201 is actually pretty consistant.

[htismaqe]

This shit is just laughable.

[ROYC75]

Sophmore jinx .......... they are banking it on this, teams will be ready for LJ this year, he snuck up on them last year.

seriously, they are morons, morons I tell ya.............

[Sure-Oz]

Good piss him off so he has 2000+ yards and 30 tds this year

Well, maybe they should look at their books and realize that LJ was not a rookie last year.
















Or the year before that.

[StcChief]

I Think they do this just to stir the pot....

NFL off season what's talk about BS, Predictions.

this is in the BS category

[hypersensitiveZO6]

They said LJ couldn't keep up the stats next year and said the last 8 games are are much easier, and more competitive than the first 8. That was the they're reasoning behind LJ's season.

Nov 13 @Buffalo
Nov 20 @Houston
Nov 27 New England
Dec 4 Denver
Dec 11 @Dallas
Dec 17 @N.Y.
Dec 24 San Diego

They will be eating crow come January after LJ rushes for over 2500 yards and 30 tds

[bobbything]

I honestly can't imagine that all of them believed that they would trade L. Johnson for R. Johnson or Ronnie Brown. ESPN should fire them now on the grounds that they're too incompetent to do their job with any accuracy.

I'd like to believe they're just stirring the pot a little.

Larry Johnson for Rudi Johnson?? Larry Johnson for RONNIE BROWN???

Dude, Ronnie Brown started in front of Ricky FREAKIN Williams for most of the year. That is a high caliber running back right there.

Said Brown could go for 80 anytime. (They showed tape of the KC game immediately)

Said LJ couldn't.

Start the emails. :cuss:

[Hammock Parties]

It was Tom Jackson, some other guy, and of course Trey Wingo.

Tom Jackson is a ****ing donkie loving prick. He'd slob on Shanahans balls all day long if he could.

[ROYC75]

Except it's not his sophomore season.

He played in 10 games and started 3 in 2004. 120 carries, 581 yards, 9 TDs.


I understand this, but Jackson and Wingo don't ............ :rolleyes:

What the hell for?

[hypersensitiveZO6]

What the hell for?

For the 20 times per year we need to email the uneducated pricks at ESPN.

[chefsos]

What the hell for?
For the class-action suit, of course. We been done dirty.

[pr_capone]

He hasn't played a single full 16 game schedule yet. He isn't an elite back yet. Should Hicks be considered an elite DE because he had one good season?

There is a HUGE difference between having 1 good year and damn near taking the rushing title with only 9 starts... in which he had over 100 yds rushing in each one of those starts.

An ELITE player is one who takes his team to a whole new level.... LJ definately qualifies.

KC last year without LJ goes 5-11 or 6-10 at BEST.

[Sully]

One of them said they'd trade LJ for Ronnie Brown because Ronnie Brown can go 80 whenever he wants and LJ can't....whatever the hell that means.


Didn't LJ bust one for 99 during last year's exhibition season?

Rudi Johnson is an elite back omg I just about lost all respect in the espn guys. I can understand if they said Edge and Tomlinson but Rudi Johnson wtf. If LJ would of played all 16 games we wouldn't be talking about any of these other dudes. LJ is in a class all by himself and this year he will show why he is an elite back.

[Mecca]

Well they can't say Edge now he took off to the NFC.....

[chief4life]

Well they can't say Edge now he took off to the NFC.....

Shit mybad i forgot about that :shake:

Still I would put LJ way above Rudi and his ass is going to be handed to him on opening day so bring it Rudi.

[keg in kc]

Who gives a shit. Talk doesn't mean anything. What he does on the field as our #1 over a 16-game schedule is what will define LJ.

[chief4life]

Well put :thumb:

[SBK]

ESPN has spent the whole offseason comparing Reggie Bush to Michael Jordan as well.

That's a fair comparison, never played a down in the league but he's going to be the best player to ever don a uniform.....

[Psyko Tek]

Good. I'm already tired of all the LJ knob-polishing in the national media. If the hype that started last year kept building, no superhuman feat that he may accomplish now would surprise anyone, and I like my guys to surprise people. I'm weird like that.


don't wanna spend the game listening to shannon sharpe or any of those other chuckleheads slobbin' one of our guys

I like it when our guys make them look real stooopid

like ray ray last year

[Psyko Tek]

Well put :thumb:


man your sig is killing me....

where's the rest?

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

with trade value plummeting, we better trade him for Mike Cloud before it's too late

[noa]

Is there anyone alive who actually wants to hear what Merrill Hodge thinks? I have no idea why ESPN keeps him around.

[beer bacon]

Sooooo, Hoge said he would take Brown over LJ because Brown had big play potential while Larry did not. They said this despite Larry having 15 20+ yard carries on 336 total carries, and Brown having only five on 207 carries.

LJ was actually second in the league in 20+ yard carries. Tiki was first with 16.

[rad]

Yep.

[Inspector]

Wow, ESPN takes a big credibility hit with this one.

Well, that is if they ever had any to start with.

[bobbything]

I'd love to be at the Fantasy Football draft where Merril Hodge has the balls to take Rudi Johnson with the 1st overall pick over Larry Johnson.

That would be worth having on video.

I don't think that would ever happen though. When it came down to it, I bet all three of those analysts would pick LJ over RJ.

[jidar]

Oh, and http://youtube.com/watch?v=fR8Ug7UWySI&search=larry%20johnson


Oh hell yeah. Awesome work by LJ and he's just getting started. Some great clips of Roaf blocking as well.
Also as a bonus I love Trent Green leading ****ing block at about 2:30

[noa]

I also like how at the end of the segment where they talked about LJ, Trey Wingo addresses LJ directly and says something to the effect of, "Well, LJ, if you can show us that you can do this over 16 games, maybe we'll include you in our elite back category." I'm sure that's LJ's motivation this year -- to win over the hearts and minds of Wingo, Tom Jackson, and Merril Hodge.

[Predarat]

Thats why I dont watch ESPN as much. Head up their asses, I tell ya!

[KChiefs1]

Dumbest thing I've seen on ESPN lately & that's saying a lot!

He's lucky Jaws or Salsburry weren't on that day, They would have made him look like the fool he is.

He said Ronnie can go 80 at anytime, And LJ can't. I wonder if this guy has ever even seen him play. I remember him ripping off 99, And toasing Trufant the whole way!

[Thig Lyfe]

What? Aren't these the same people who keep saying LJ is going to be the MVP?

Well, that explains it. He has serious ill will towards KC.

The bigger the chip on Larry Johnson's shoulder, the better.

[petegz28]

Funny LJ outrushed both of them with half the carries

[petegz28]

AWESOME EL!


AWESOME!

I also noticed that T-Rich wasn't in on a lot of those big runs.

[milkman]

Funny LJ outrushed both of them with half the carries

Uhhh.....exagerate much.

Tomlinson had 339 carries for 1462 yards.
Rudi Johnson had 337 for 1458.

LJ had 336 for 1750.

He did outrush them, but unless my math is bad, that isn't close to half the carries.
