He runs like Jim Brown and blocks like Jerry Lewis.

He also has the benefit of running behind a pretty good line.

Well, I really am not trying to take anything away from LJ, but any NFL back will look awesome running behind their O-Line. What do you think he would do running behind our O-Line?

I would say about half of what he looks.

I am a believer the Kansas City's O-Line makes their RB's not the opposite.

I'm more inclined to kick myself that the Cowboys couldn't have outbid the Chiefs for Willie Roaf for a 4th round pick.

and we could have had larry johnson for antonio bryant...............
Serious? I don't remember hearing that. If true, that sucks. LJ is good, but looks "great" because of his 0-line.

I think he would run well behind most Olines . He is always running down hill...
After being hit he almost always gets an extra yard or 2.

I thought he blocked pretty well .Not counting when DWare sent him into next week and he missed that one assignment

And this is the truth. I could not see then and can not see now how we would not take the opportunity to get Roaf.

LJ may be a great player. But he'd never fit on this team. He's a bad bad egg. He's exactly the kind of guy that BP doesn't want.

I don't think LJ is a bad egg, he's just trying to earn his money and you don't earn it sitting on the bench. And yea he runs behind a good offensive line but he's also learned how to do it and does it quite well. That offensive line isn't breaking those tackles or outrunning people for him.

Nor do you earn it by beating up women, or threatening them with loaded weapons. He's got a bad history there.

Obviously, you didn't notice this monster get thrown to the ground like a rag-doll by Ware with ONE hand on a pass block. The ONLY monster on KC is the OL collectively. :eek:

Those were trade rumors, but there was obviously something that kept it from happening. Maybe KC was asking for more at the time. Probably Coakley. :D Obviously, Dallas was willing to deal Bryant, so there was either more to the story or it was just a rumor and no substance. It sounds mostly rumorish, so I won't lose sleep over it.

I agree. The Cowboys knew Bryant was on the way out. Why wouldn't they make a trade straight up?
Because it was just a rumor.
