Caveman_Nick Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I was thinking back to the glory days of the Rams in 1999-2001, and remembering what a dynamic force the combination of Warner and Faulk was, particularly with Bruce and Holt as younger receivers stretching defenses. Now, I have spent a bit if the offseason worried about the effectiveness of James as a runner, and I still have that concern. I am really starting to warm up to the idea of James catching a lot of short passes underneath and making some Yac happen with them. On passing downs he will still be in the formation, particularly because he is such a good blocker. How many times will he be playing that role while Fitz, Boldin, Johnson, and Pop run patterns, and then end up having the ball dumped off without a defender in sight. We all know that Warner will fall back into that pattern really easily. Yup...I am starting to warm up to the idea of James in Az. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I just hope they can be as successful as Warner and JJ Arrington were last year. RB poison. I have drafted Edge exactly zero times. ... which probably means he'll be a superstud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
