This is what I expect him to look like next season.

Well if he looks like that he'll be serving a four game suspension for being on the sauce.

it's not your upper body that breaks tackles. his biggest problem i think is while rehabbing his ankle he lost alot of lower body strength

I think he really lacks LOWER body strength. That would help him break arm tackles and help him run through some bodies.

Bingo. Which is a big difference from last year, when even with the bad shoulder he could run and lift with his legs.

If he was built like that he would fumble a lot since he couldn't get both arms on the ball.

Everyone is right on when they say it is leg strength. I thought he looked good against KC. Looked to have a little more burst.

Not only would he fumble like mad, heaven forbid if he was moved to center... could you imagine how hard it would be to wipe your arse with arms like that?

I think JJ could afford to bulk up a little bit, most RB do as they continue their career in the NFL.

One day its no upper body strenth, the next day its he's top heavy. Sheesh. The problem is that he's not making cuts or hitting holes and he doesn't appear to have the same burst of speed. Whether this is due to lack of lower body strenth or a bad ankle, only time will tell.

How did you manage to find a picture of me?
I think it looks more like me. That guy is just a little heavier with a little more muscles and a little darker. Add in a mustache and there I am. :D
