Hugh 0ne Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Cardinals | E. James questioning why he left Indianapolis Sun, 22 Oct 2006 21:26:49 -0700 The Associated Press reports Arizona Cardinals RB Edgerrin James is beginning to question why he left the Indianapolis Colts over the offseason. James carried the ball 13 times for 34 during the Week 7 game and has failed to top 100 rushing yards in a single game all season. "I wasn't prepared for this, man, I really wasn't. I don't know what we're doing now," said James. What did he expect? He's running behind the worst O-line in the NFL. I think you left because of the money, dumbass.

Exactly....I don't blame him for leaving, but wondering why now is being a splashy cleanser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaterMan Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Must be hard to be a RB when teams don't have 8 people in coverage all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 When he was tackled for that safety, you have to figure that was the lowest point in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 When you let the all mighty dollar drive your decision to go to the worst rushing organization in the history of the NFL please don't whine about not being able to run.

Wolv Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I guess JJ Arrington really doesn't suck. I'm already looking forward to Edge's week 9 bye week when I'm forced to bench him for Visanthe Shiancoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) Its funny how in Emmitt Smiths last year there he almost broke 1000 and had 9 tds missed the last game or 2 of the season once again proving his greatness and superiority .

I Like Soup Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I was thinking the other day why would a RB in Edge's situation in Indy leave? You have an offense that is very productive, has a chance at the playoffs year in and year out, and you are in a known scheme. Why change a good thing for money? Oh, and what a little whiny dooosh.

Because he thought he would single handidly turn it around in Arizona AND get paid. It is very typical for top athletes to think they have what it takes to shoulder a team and take them to the promised land. He is now learning that his ability to run the ball in Indy was greatly enhanced by Indy's top notch passing game, top notch offensive line and ability to score LOTS of points. In the desert ... they have a nice passing game ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikesVikes Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I think it's safe to call him a "slow" if it takes him this long to smell the coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 He was seduced by the bright lights of Arizona! Edge is clearly a victim here, deserving of our sympathy. The Cardinals lured him away from a successful franchise, only to chew him up and spit him out. Who can resist the siren song of Denny Green?

I'm pretty sure that was Shipp that was tackled for the safety. It was originally reported wrong by NFL.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame the guy at all. He deserved a long term contract with financial security. Being a RB with a lot of carries on your resume on consecutive 1 year franchise tag contract deals with the Colts is not financial security. Arizona is not far off. With a little talent and attitude on that o-line, things can turn around quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame him for taking the money at all. But he HAD to have known how freaking bad that line was. I mean, Jesus, if WE know, he HAS to know. And I don't want to hear him whining about it. Edge knew what he was getting into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
