Turf CamelToe 1 Posted November 10, 2009 Another from Rotoworld - Coach Gary Kubiak indicated at his Monday press conference that the Texans plan to do their due diligence on waived RB Larry Johnson. Texans fans are pulling for the team to pursue L.J. "We'll go back and take a look at him just like any other player," Kubiak said. Johnson has a 2.7 YPC average for the year, but has lost just one fumble on 132 carries. The Texans continue to be concerned with their running backs' ball security after Ryan Moats lost a fumble at the goal line in Houston's Week 9 loss.

Turf CamelToe 1 Posted November 10, 2009 From Rotoworld / Profootball talk A source tells Profootballtalk.com to "keep an eye" on the Patriots if waived RB Larry Johnson doesn't get claimed by a lower tier team. Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Monday that he didn't think he'd be interested in L.J., but coaches have been known to lie. Johnson would love to end up in New England, where the running back situation is weak and he could re-establish his reputation with a winner. The deadline to claim Johnson on waivers is 4 p.m. ET Tuesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The deadline to claim Johnson on waivers is 4 p.m. ET Tuesday. This is from Mike Florio, so take it with a grain of salt. That same source said that they were not interested yesterday. I think that Belichick wants some lower team to pick up Johnson so that they are stuck with the contract and another contender does not get him. I don't think that the Pats are interested. I would guess Cincy goes for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boston Three Party 6 Posted November 10, 2009 I picked him up to stash on my big money team just in case he goes to a team hopefully in need of a full time load. Any back can do better on 15+ carries with an OLine not named KC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius 0 Posted November 10, 2009 Well, the deadline for a Waivers Claim is past. I have this clown on my Dynasty Team and a drafts picks offer is on the table with a trade deadline of Wednesday Midnight. Was hoping to hear something soon, just to know whether to pull the trigger or not. Where's Adam Shefter's insane intensity when I need it?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT 137 Posted November 10, 2009 Anybody hear Johnson on the Dan Patrick show today? Amazing. Guy is freaking clueless. Actually talked about going back to KC in "3-4 years, when my career is ending" to get the franchises career rushing record. When asked about Hailey as a coach, he said he liked him. Why? Because he took away assigned parking spaces and made everyone work for them. The Twitter comments? "I just keep forgetting that we're not like everybody else...we can't have conversations in public". Generally, when asked why he's such a doosh, is response was that he just couldn't take the losing. Just couldn't help being stressed out thinking that he should have done more to help them win. Honest to god, sounded like one of those "Leon" commercials that used to air "It's a team game, so I have no choice but to blame my teammates". Absolutely unbelievable.

mgs316 14 Posted November 11, 2009 I'd dump him because he's a complete loser but the waiver wire cupboard is bare, so here's to hoping the Pats sign him and straighten him out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slestack11 0 Posted November 11, 2009 It sounds like he wants to play for the Steelers where he will likely put up Jerome Bettis type numbers of 3 TD's and -2 yards. Mendenhall still has a tendency to fumble so I wouldn't be surprised if LJ comes in as the goal line back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BirdBradyBobbyOrr 0 Posted November 12, 2009 No way does Belichick get Larry Johnson. A gay bashing, organization bashing, thug does not fit what the Patriots do. New England is far too liberal to bring a player like Larry Johnson into the fold. The complaints would flood in. If Pioli cut him don't you think he'd let Bill know, 'Stay away' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
