OFFICIAL SLIGHTLY IRRATIONAL KOLBY SMITH BANDWAGON THREAD - Page 4

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.

There's no question the kid runs hard. He still needs to follow his blocks a bit better but he's looked better than LJ behind a crap line.

Looks great for a fifth rounder...

Before his ankle injury LJ was having a hammy problem and that was from holding out and not being in football shape when the season started. I'm hoping LJ will be back to form after he attends the off season programs, mini camps and training camp. Add that to an improved line and he should rush for 1,500 yards.
