It's good to see some things never change.

OILERMAN;2190145 said:I guess all the Johnson hate comes from the fact the Cowboys picked Jones right before Johnson and no one wants to have passed on a potentially great player.
Rack;2190149 said:You should probably do some research before you go making claims.
My view on CJ now is exactly as it was long before the draft.
Julius Jones looked like a future All Pro... once upon a time.

You don't know what youre talking about and are so interested in being right you couldnt see a train if it was coming straight at you. First of all he showed patience on that run setting up his blocks by staying on the hip of the right guard. He makes a cut and gets to the left shoulder of the center and absolutely explodes through the hole. The dlinemen is unable to deal with that explosion and CJ runs through his attempt to trip him up. He runs straight at the free safety at that point and 15 yards down field he makes another cut where he goes from the left flag to the right flag. He never loses a step.
You can use the words 'slight' or babble about straightline speed all you want but really all you are is a moron with a agenda. How about you tell us more about Amendola's 3-cone time or how Schmitt runs a 4.5 40.
theogt;2190218 said::laugh2:
Makes a cut? Shows patience? Jesus, this is hilarious. He runs STRAIGHT FORWARD. Talk about making something out of nothing.
You'd like to discuss 3-cones? Okay, here's some for you.
Danny Amendola - 6.81
Owen Schmitt - 6.96
Wes Welker - 7.09
Deon Anderson - 7.27
I believe my comment was Schmitt would run circles around Deon Anderson. Well, turns out it's literally true. He could run circles around him.
Vincent Gambini said:That's funny why? Did I form my opinion all based on that one run? Did I even say that run was impressive?
In fact, Grant's run was the direct result of poor defensive play and, if I remember correctly, good play by their fullback. His actual run wasn't impressive at all. Not to mention I formed my opinion on him before that game.
You don't actually think these things through before you post them do you?
PS, have you failed out of community college yet?
AsthmaField;2190310 said:Well, we all kinda knew that CJ was fast. You give him a wide open lane to run straight down the field with and he'll give you six points every time. The problem is, when the real games start (and you're not playing the Rams), holes like that are going to be few and far between.
Yes, they'll be a few and like I said, Johnson will give you a big play each and every time... but that's not going to be a consistent way to move the football.
I watched that highlight several times and it still pretty much looks like there was a hole, Johnson hit it, turned on the burners and ran straight down the field. Not much run vision needed there. CJ, IMO, loses his effectiveness when he has to run through any type of clutter.
Maybe I'm wrong... but we'll see soon enough.
BTW, pay attention to the ratio of highlight plays each player produced in their first game. I think that's going to be a pretty accurate representation of what you'll see during the season. I think Felix will produce about 3 or so big plays for every 1 speed play Johnson produces.
JMO, of course.
Cogan;2190746 said:Felix looked bigger & stronger than I remember seeing him at Arkansas. I know he has a LONG ways to go, but he reminds me a little of a taller Emmitt. He sees the cutback very well. He's hard to bring down, and when he is tackled, he doesn't seem to absorb a lot of the blow. I also like his second effort.
Of course, what is so much fun to watch is his second gear. Man, when he turns it on this year, there are going to be a lot of DCs with lumps in their throats.
He is the player we all thought Julius would be. Felix the Cat is going to bring another dimension to an already frightening offense. I know Garrett's drooling already.

FuzzyLumpkins;2191140 said:If you cant see him plant and change direction 15 yards downfield youre a moron. And my point was that youre 3 cone scores are meaningless in terms of who is having success on the field. Amendola fumbled again today btw.
Oh and perhaps you should try Anabuse.
Bob Sacamano;2191257 said:theo, what was CJ's 3-cone time again?
didn't he finish like 35th out of all RBs? moron
DaBoys4Life;2191279 said:He must have...... there has to be some reason why theogt doesn't like him so much.....maybe he don't got enough wiggle......
Bob Sacamano;2191258 said:what's funny is that you don't need to be Barry Sanders to be a successful RB, you don't even have to have that much wiggle
what you need is the vision to see the hole, the vision to see the field to know which cut to make, and the ability to make that cut w/o losing much speed, elusiveness is nice, but you can easily get past a tackler by keeping your balance and spinning off him, or cut and leave him grasping for air, you don't have to whirl like the Tazmanian Devil
Bob Sacamano;2191283 said:he can't get over the fact that
CJ>>>Ray Rice
DaBoys4Life;2191284 said:that what I'm saying good acceleration and burst through the whole one move it all it takes for him to take it to the house. I mean what the point in trying to juke all 11 players on the field.
DaBoys4Life;2191286 said:
speaking of Ray Rice how does he look in Baltimore......
Bob Sacamano;2191300 said:or picking and sliding in the backfield
coaches teach you to run North-South, not East-West, by the time you're done picking and sliding, the D has collapsed on you, I'm more concerned w/ who can see the hole and get upfield in a hurry
too many people are scarred because of Julius who pretty much is a straightline guy, but he just has no vision, so they want a guy who can do somersaults and backflips
Bob Sacamano;2191302 said:I heard he's looked pretty good
DaBoys4Life;2191310 said:LoL
oh i haven't heard anything about him.
