He also doesn't seem to have the right attitude to be a back for a championship team either. If they move him they move him, talented player who's undoubtably put up great numbers, but from this point going forward he's a guy who carries substantial risk.
BTW one week to the draft!!

Hopefully Bennett can come in and take more of the carries this season. He had some great runs last year. He just can't stay healthy.
Whitock had mentioned in a story, that you read, that team mates thought it would be a big mistake to give LJ a big contract. I usually take what Whitlock says with a grain of salt. But where there is smoke, there is usually fire.
