He established himself as the number three. Now I'm interested to see what he can do as more of a pass catcher.

dude makes me paranoid catching punts. He's so jittery and always falling over when he does it.

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
When Lmj is running with the 2nd team lines he's has faced 1st team defenses.

He has the skills to be a lot better than he is. Too much east/west and dancing. Bad vision. He has me concerned. I hate some of the things about how he runs. I also love some of the ability.

I think he's trying too hard to keep a bubble of space between him and the defenders. He needs to take those yards like boobie was doing today.

I've never been a fan of backs that are willing to lose ground. Barry was the only one to consistently do this with any success. He needs to hit the holes faster.

As a 3rd RB and decent kick returner, the Niners are fortunate to have him. With Gore and a healthy Hunter in front of him, he can be a great change of pace back and potential game breaker in the open field. He whiffed on one pass protection early to give up a sack and did not have his best game running behind the first team AND second team o line. Still think the Niners could do a lot worse.

I would say disappointing is the word for James. He should be making more of an impact. I don't really see any of the explosiveness he showed in college translating to the pro level. Disappointing. AJ Jenkins and LaMichael James, talk about a terrible 1-2 in a draft.

I don't understand what people are expecting from LMJ. Are they expecting him to truck linebackers to the ground? The guy is extremely quick and constantly gets something out of nothing.
There were a couple sweep plays where there were five defenders on him the moment he got the ball. Sometimes he broke free, other times not. He can't be Barry Sanders on every play.
