Too Many too Stop- LaMichael James

[peeker643]

We were going to go to linemen at some point but there's not much film and there are too many backs and WRs to stop just yet.

One of the more intriguing (and well known) RBs out there is Oregon's LaMichael James. Jason does a nice job breaking down what he brings and how he can do it.

I don't need to click on the link to say that kid has one of the most tremendous bursts I've ever seen in my 55 yrs of watching football

EVER!

He is a certified bolt of freaking lightning that will put the Fear of God into any D any time he touches the ball

[jb]

If he's there at 3, would love him as a change of pace player if needs have been addressed.

[Hikohadon]

Where is he projected to go?

I think Sproles has proven that players like this can be valuable if used correctly.

Everything I've read has him anywhere from latter 3rd of 2nd round through end of round 3.

SD:

Be some real firepower if you had to use the 37 on him after picking Tanneyhill then a Rt at 22 leaves you ten draft picks to find wideouts linebackers and safety.

Ever heard of a kid named Waters played for the 49ers who was that size or that scatback who starred in Philly for a decade and was 60% of their offense.

Rickey Watters would be among some of the best ever if he could have held onto the ball on a regular basis

..but he couldn't, so he isn't

Dude was a fumble machine

You're picking name sout of a hat, now

The guy James should be compared to is James Brooks + warp speed

SD:

Westbrooks value would be specific to this argument , but not even he had warp speed .

In a passing offense , there is much to be said for a scatback who can house a swing pass from anywhere on the field

I've heard of a Ricky Watters who was 6'1" 210 but not this Ricky Watters scat back of which you speak.

[Fire Marshall Bill]

I mentioned Brooks because he played bigger than he was

James runs just as hard

[Cerebral_DownTime]

Just fucking draft him and STFU already.

I'll take this, except, switch it to something that doesn't involve Tannehill... anything that doesn't involve him.

Read somewhere about the Browns talking about a trade with the Rams, for the Rams to get back to #4 to take Blackmon, you know, so the Browns can make it possible for 2 years in a row for someone ELSE to get a stud at WR...

SD:

Actually perfect scenario for mitigating the reach pick of Tanney offset by a DC #2 this year or preferably a #1 next year .

The Browns got nothing , they can't even sell hope if they foolishly trot out that Dog squat Mccoy as the answer , season ticket sales are in the toilet .

They can pick Richardson at 6 after Miami trades up for Fannyhill , and then choose 137 year old weeden who they want but can hardly justify picking so early due to him being eligible for social security.

The Browns will have to rely on being lucky than good , because their F u C ked in this draft due to their own incompetence.

Meh. IMHO, any of the WR's that might be available at 22 have as much stud potential as Blackmon. There's just not enough separation between Blackmon and the other 1st round guys for me to get upset.

Your correct shows the difference in eras , he was a feature back then at that size , but would be considered a scatback now at that size even if he played the role of feature back .

If it makes ya happy

Emmitt was 220

jacobs is 260

Hillis is 250

AP is 225

Gore is 230

The Atlanta feature back has to go a duece and a half

Harrison weighed more than 205 and you could slap him down with a wave .

Waters had shake and bake and he was used in the Westbrook type mode which was my point ,, James is not as big as either but faster than any other examples a true scat back which I doubt could be a feature back .

But whatever your moody ass wants to argue over just take your midol and go to the next one ,,

Im out on this .

10 pounds don't make a damn bit of difference, esp when you are 6'1". . A scat back is = < 200 in this day & age.

The rest of the guys you list were big, higher side, power backs.

LMJ is 185 damn pounds. 25 pounds lighter than Watters 20 years ago. That's a scat back.

It's aint about my mood. It's about your inability to ever just call your bullshit "bullshit" even once when you are as wrong as a $ 3 bill.

Is what it is.

Thought you was done?

You compared LMJ to Ricky Watters. Dude, one was a feature back who did it all and the other is a change of pace home run hitter.

You're just fuckin' wrong amigo. It's OK to admit it.

You're in good company. Tree called TR Barry sanders this week, too.

Let me know when I compare anybody to Barry Sanders would ya .

In my book next to Roger Craig and Rathman waters was in a different category and his shake and bake put him more in the scatback type player in my book , granted he was more .

Westbrook was also my comparison back who also did everything from a much smaller size that one would think possible .

FMB compared James to Brooks , same category of water bug which was apt for james , who I said was much faster than all examples but a scat back .

Forgive me for disturbing your sensibilities and regarding Waters as small , thats how I remeber him , so take your midol

and have a good day .
