gore just isnt very explosive in the open field.

hunter is has incredible acceleration, but LMJ would be the most fun to watch (and dangerous) IMO

There's an idea. If Celek is more game ready than LaMichael James, something is really wrong. Unless Celek is on special teams, there is no reason for this to not happen.

It's entirely possible that James is having a hard time blocking in the NFL. I'm not sure if he did a lot of that in college? If its one thing I know, no matter what your position is on offense, you must be able to block on this team. Oh yeah, and Frank Gore is averaging 5.8 ypc, while hunter is 5 ypc. Thats a lot for a rookie to overcome.

I agree James is probably having difficulties with blocking give him a year to get stronger, learn from frank and hunter. and he will hopefully be a dangerous weapon forus next year. as for this year i would like to see hunter be ourprimary receiving threat as a rb dude is shifty

Been saying all season that we need to work in the screen and outlet to the HB more often to bring up the safety's.

James would be great in that role, dude is killer on lb's one on one and could rack up some serious YAC!
