Same , but he's still averaging 4.5 yards a carry on 8 carries so it's not like he's been bad, I just was so damn stoked about him it's disappointing. And I just love when the beat writers are wrong, so I thought I'd throw up some good vibes for lamike and hope the first 3 games he was just getting comfy.
He's also been behind second string lineman and had the least amount of time in the playbook which can take even the hardest workers like VD half a season just to learn and be productive. You guys are expecting New Orleans Sproles right off the bat... San Diego Sproles took 2 years to become more than just a punt/kick returner. Give him time, once he figures out the offense he will be the human highlight reel we expect.

one lucky run doesn't mean jack. So he was able to rip of 11 yards on a huge hole. Big deal. I want to see him create something.

agreed!!!! he wont be a factor for at least one or two years....he was taken to be the future with Hunter....present time will be Gore/Hunter and a little Jocobs sprikled in

Sproles was a boss at Kansas St....went in what the 4th round did nothing in SD behind LT and Michael Turner...got his chance and was ready when called upon.

very good call on this one

I think our official depth chart for next week will list Hunter or even Cully as the #2 PR guy lol.
LMJs showing some moves in this game, even if they were glimpses, saw nothing in the previous pre games. The kid just needs time to get going. We've seen what he can do back in college so its just getting use to things NFL.

Maybe its just me, but it kind of feels like harbs is hiding lmj.

finally saw what I wanted to see out of LMJ, minus the punt returns, ouch!. He makes KW look like Ted Ginn. Anyway, that burst and hard running is what I"ve been waiting for. Nice to see it out of Dixon as well.
If I say he sucks, I'm sure he'll turn out great....... LMJ sucks.
Didn't look too bad on offense. Punt returning needs some work.
