Audio: RB LaRod Stephens-Howling Conference Call - 7th Round (a)

[English on tour]

sound like we got some guys with heart this year.

God I hope he can run and gun and makes the final cut.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

He'll find a way to get on this team, but its gonna be tough carrying 2 rookie RBs on the active roster

Not when one of them is Wells. Plus we only had 2 on the roster in TH and Wright. I never really considered Edge being on the roster because we knew he'd be released.

 

[Totally_Red]

Hey, Nolan Smith of the Chiefs wasn't exactly big and he had a heckuva career as a return ace for Kansas City. If Larod is half as good I'll be happy. Go LSH!

 

[cardsfanmd]

He reminds me of a guy the Ravens took years ago named Lamont Brightfull. He was a good return guy, but IIRC he got hurt and never made it back onto the field.

 

[earthsci]

Meh! Lots of kids get emotional and cry on draft day. I'll reserve judgement till we see him on between the chalk

Cedric Benson agrees with you.

 

[Renz]

I don't think Wendell Bryant ever cried. Thomas Jones did, but not out of joy.

 

[DemsMyBoys]

"It's been a dream all my life. I've been told so many times that I couldn't do it because of my size. I can't wait to come in and do whatever I can for the team."

I think that the people who don't have everything handed to them, who have to work harder to achieve (for whatever reasons) and who know they have to earn their way are very often the ones who make the greatest contributions. I can't wait to see what he can do and I will be cheering him on.

 

[Dr. Jones]

The kid has a chip on his shoulder to produce for us.

I love these types of players versus the me-first attitude we are all accustomed to.

I hope he gets a meaningful look in camp. Do I think he makes the team? No. Not with Garvin overshadowing him. Unless the guy is a killer on ST's I think his chances are less than 10%.

But I hope to be proven wrong. GREAT interview.

Gotta love LSH He may surprprise us all, and isn't he bigger than michael Adams?

 

[thirty-two]

I'll be rooting for him, that's for sure!
