Absolutely... I've been waiting for them to call some screen calls for the last couple of years..

I like James and hope the extra weight will help him succeed. Last year he looked like a light bowling ball that was thrown too hard; it bounces off the first pin it hits...

My boy is running hard tonight. Breaking a bunch of tackles, debunking the myth on here that he's just a weak scat back.

And then as soon as I say that, he runs for a huge loss

I'd argue that for all his slippery moves, he doesn't advance the ball much. Its all about north and south.

All those slippery moves are when he's stopped at the line for no gain and uses his elusiveness to gain something out of nothing

That's just what I've seen.

All preseason when he runs behind the 1st team oline he looks good.

That's a good point.

what does this guy add to the team?

i'm not really comfortable w/ him being a punt returner, i'd rather have kyle williams back there.

if they don't use him in space and get him lined up at wr spreads etc i don't see what he really does, he can't run between the tackles he dances way too much.

hope they are hiding some great packages w/ LMJ lined up in spread formations to utilize his strength in space

is he? dancing behind the line of scrimmage and not having any power to run between the tackles is fun to watch?

they need to use him in space..i'm hopeful that is the plan and they aren't showing it til the season

Agreed. As it stands, he's not even close to being worth a 2nd, imo. The 2012 draft was a colossal bust and I don't need two more seasons to know it.

I feel him being traded and jewel hampton becomes #3. LMJ just dont seem to have it unless it's the read option. in which case damn near every RB is good if the QB makes the correct read

Someone should make a cut up of all his runs behind the 1st string offensive line. He's running we'll.

so hampoton and dixon and others are not running behind the 1st string oline and look much better than LMJ so imagine them behind the 1st string line as well
