BELICHICK WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH LARRY JOHNSON
Unathletic — ...   Of running backs who average at least five rushing attempts per game, LJ is better than Glen Coffee.  And that’s it.  Philip Rivers and Eli Manning have better averages.  Even Ron Dayne, who made a career of hitting the line of scrimmage and then falling forward, managed to average 3.8 ypc for his career.  Johnson is one of the worst.  Picking him up to be your running back would be like picking up Najeh Davenport to launder the team’s jerseys.  HIYOOOOO!!!!!!
