Preseason fool's gold strikes again. Boobie isn't anywhere close to LMJ as a ball carrier. He is a very good special teamer, though.

Dixon keeps making it impossible to cut him.

James seemed overly tentative all preseason. It is almost like he was trying not to get hurt.

He needs to hit the hole, get through the hole, and then run north and south.

I would like to hear a conversation between him and Mr. Rathman.
I've been VERY critical of Dix over the last few years. BUT he's really stepped it up this off season and it seems that LMJ has leveled out. Could be pre-season blues?

Right now Dix has some real fire and he's not doing the two-step when he hits the hole.

you should probably re-watch the games then cause Boobie has been ballin' and playing with some serious energy and heart. for more than LMJ, previous to last night's injury.

LMJ is fine, he is more of a Sproles type back...he should be used in certain packages but not as an every down back. He and Boobie are apples and oranges.

Couldn't agree more. LMJ is like a Sproles type back minus the talent.

lol agreed. I can't wait for those spins to be followed up with north-south running
