Has L.J. already reached his ceiling?

I'll tell you what I don't like about LJ:

missed blocks
stupid penalties
dropped passes

He's been guilty of more than his fair share of all three. I'll gladly admit I'm wrong if he blows up, but I'm starting to think he's no great shakes.

I agree with his shortcomings that you listed. But I don't think he's reached his ceiling.

He needs to remove his head from his ass and make plays. The stupid motion penalties piss me off though.

The missed blocks bother me the most. Does the team now have to draft pass catching tight ends along with blocking tight ends (to go along with the snapping tight end)? Penalties can be worked out. Dropped passes... sometimes they're bad throws, but he does drop too many catchable balls at times, but then again Chad dropped passes that slapped him right in the mits too.

That reminds me, what the farg was going on with the illegal formation penalties last night (I'm sure its been discussed in the game thread but I'm no sifting through 37 pages to find an explaination)? Can someone summarize what the farging deal with that was?

LJ had a great block (2 actually) on Westbrook's TD run.

Reggie Brown was not on the LOS.

Even though it was on #86, they call the OT on the play because he is the end man on the LOS. The only way an OL can be the end man on the LOS is if he is an eligible receiver and reports it to the ref prior to the play.

But Tra did have one of his patented lining too far up off the LOS penalties though.

If I could've bludgeoned an Eagle with a yellow flag last night - I would have.

Hard to say for certain without knowing what the plays were, but I think a lot were on Reggie Brown not being up on the line.

It was infuriating. THREE illegal formation penalties?! It was like watching the taterskins.

Hey, the Cowboys have Witten AND Price....you should go root for them. Think about it.

I didn't say I want Witten, I'm just pointing out that we could've had him.

There were at least four possibly five. I lost count.
