CornKobb 48 Posted September 21, 2008 Check the official thread buddy for the info. if your talkin about the injury thread it is a tad bit slow on info buddy. my apologies.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gocolts 300 Posted September 21, 2008 if your talkin about the injury thread it is a tad bit slow on info buddy. my apologies.... No, I was talking about the Game thread. Someone watching the game filled us in on the low down. It's no big deal or anything. Just letting you know where someone who is actually watching the game has posted about what is going on with K Smith. I believe he is just ridding the bench for no apparent reason if you can believe that. Freaking Lions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-in O-town 0 Posted September 21, 2008 I hope it is not the Rudi show, my thinking is that it is another blow out and they are getting Rudi carries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe he is just ridding the bench for no apparent reason if you can believe that. Freaking Lions. I can believe that because it is the focking Lions. How do you bench a RB that has gone 3 for 14 guy that early without injury concern? Being a Packers fan... I think this is intentional some how. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BernardPollardFan Posted September 21, 2008 Now it's the Rudi show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roroco 75 Posted September 21, 2008 Now it's the Rudi show. Now it is San Fran in prevent defense and Rudi gets yardage by default.... Why they benched Smith is beyond me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skinny_Bastard 157 Posted September 21, 2008 I can't believe the Bengals released Rudi. He looks freak'n incredible! Quick with power!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScottyArms 0 Posted September 21, 2008 I see Johnson scored a td..then I see I didn't get points for it, I'm like wtf? Then I realize its ###### Rudi Johnson. For someone that's starting Calvin and Kevin Smith, my blood is absolutely boiling right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny_Bastard 157 Posted September 21, 2008 Are you guys watching this game? Forget the stats, if RUDI is out there GRAB HIM NOW!!! If i was the coach, i would bench K. Smith too. I guess they saw something good during practice with Rudi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redstone 0 Posted September 21, 2008 My last round pick was Rudi on a flyer. Looks like it may be paying off. The edge is heading for the pine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mambokings 0 Posted September 22, 2008 Rudi Johnson looked great today. He ran fast and with power. His pass blocking was solid too. It was only a matter of time. It looks like he's really getting a hold of this offense: 14 carries for 83 yards and 3 receptions for 48 yards (plus a touchdown) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illest 0 Posted September 22, 2008 Need some insight or some updated info on this... Kevin Smith really benched? For what? He's looked promising and shown talent... What happened? Any word on what the future holds for DET backfield? I'll accept simple speculation if its educated, I didn't get to see the game so I'm going nuts trying to find the facts and peice together what the hell is going on.

jeffkomlo 19 Posted September 22, 2008 Need some insight or some updated info on this... He's looked promising and shown talent... He talked a good game but never really produced the 1st 2 games. Him not being able to run on SF tells you something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billmatic 0 Posted September 22, 2008 He talked a good game but never really produced the 1st 2 games. Him not being able to run on SF tells you something What are you talking about? He had 3 rushes for 14 yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idiotekniQues 0 Posted September 22, 2008 smith had 3 carries for 14 yards and then not another. thats a 4.5 YPC which is definitely respectable but then rudi got everything after that im gonna bench him or trade him to a detroit fan in my league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Da_Bears 14 Posted September 22, 2008 I went searching some Lions Forums and only found one with any info. The poster basically said that Smith was missing a ton of blocks getting Kitna nailed for it. Since this was a Lion's fans observation of the game, take it for what it's worth. Without seeing the game, I would tend to believe this if there isn't an injury. When your down 21 points so fast, you tend to need to throw more and need your back to block. Rudi has more size and experience in NFL blocking schemes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, this is also no surprise. if a rookie RB who runs effectively gets less reps or gets benched, this is usually the reason why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeffkomlo 19 Posted September 22, 2008 Watched some of the game (glutton for punishment) and nobody was picking up blocks! Bench em all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yanko 11 Posted September 22, 2008 Well, this is also no surprise. if a rookie RB who runs effectively gets less reps or gets benched, this is usually the reason why. According to the play by play Kevin Smith's last play was a Kitna sack and fumble. On the very next snap Rudi was in there. Although that didn't seem to stop Kitna getting sacked.
