OFFICIAL SLIGHTLY IRRATIONAL KOLBY SMITH BANDWAGON THREAD - Page 3

Thig Lyfe · 11-25-2007, 04:08 PM

Yes, it's one game. Yes, it was against the Raiders. Yes, we lost.

But what I saw from Kolby Smith was running that was far more inspired than anything we've seen out of LJ all year. Remember, LJ was awful in his first few games against not-stellar defenses, but developed out of nowhere to become a fantastic starter.

Kolby Smith has to start before even getting 9 carries in a game and explodes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. The start of his career is officially already better than the start of LJ's career.

Now that LJ has faltered, I think we'll see Kolby eventually establish himself as a legit #1 back. It may take a while, but Kolby is going to be to LJ what LJ was to Priest.

This sounds like jumping the gun to some, and completely moronic to others, but if you had said LJ would be a dominant back after his 10 carry, 21 yard performance against Tampa Bay in 2004, you would have been mocked.

Keep this thread handy in case I need to be mocked or bitterly congratulated later.

Par for the course for King Carl.

Thig Lyfe · 12-02-2007, 03:15 PM

He looked pretty good again today. Should have had 100 yards but... there's only so much a good player can do on this team.

Thig Lyfe · 12-02-2007, 03:33 PM

C'mon guys, he's one of the positives! Hurrah!

blueballs · 12-02-2007, 03:35 PM

Carl must go

KCJohnny · 12-02-2007, 03:40 PM

21 carries for 83 yards. And we pretty much quit on the run in the 4th quarter. Not bad.

yeah I noticed he threw a few nice blocks. I think both he and Grigsby can be pretty good blockers.

He did a real nice job picking up the blitz.

Most definately.

The Herm haters are right about some things, but Smith is yet another example of his draft prowess...he has been OUTstanding in that capacity.

If we can just get a good OC, man...look out, he will put a winner together here.

He finds'em in the top AND bottom rounds.

Thig Lyfe · 12-06-2007, 07:03 PM

Definitely looking forward to seeing him take on Denver's awful rushing D.

Thig Lyfe · 12-18-2007, 03:00 PM

Um, never mind about that above post.

BUT KOLBY STILL RULES!

FD · 12-18-2007, 03:45 PM

I bet he tears up Detroit this week, though I'd rather have them let Croyle air it out in such a meaningless game against a terrible D.
