I see another disappointing season in store for LJ with Niswanger and whoever the hell we have on our right side as lineman...

I think the Chiefs will do everything they can to limit LJ's touches this year. You definately want to re-establish him but I can't see them running him to death for no reason.

why limit his touches this year? to save the guy for next year? i think we all know that's not a good idea, who knows what next year will bring. you have to play to win now as players and coaches. also lj has always gotten better as the game goes on and the carries add up. he's BY FAR a better runner in the 4th qtr than the 1st.

it depends on length and depth of stroke

I doubt I'll play fantasy football this year, but I'd pick LJ. Good pick, I think he's been projected as a #7 pick so far.

Chan Gailey told us point blank Larry was a "25 carries a game RB." That's 400 carries.

I won't be shocked if he comes close to that.

I agree

this years offense will be as bad as last years at first

Nice knowing you LJ. You had a nice career while it lasted.

The Titanic was on pace to cross the ocean.

Just sayin'.....

My point was that the worst 8 games of his career were still not that bad.

With our line the way it stands now.....Ummm, no.

They're run blocking pretty well up here. There's a noticeable difference from last year, especially in Waters.

That's great to hear, but LJ still isn't cracking 2K this year. I really don't expect much out of this years team. If our rooks get a lot of playing time and improve and we get a decent draft next season, we will be on the road to recovery. Don't get me wrong, we are headed in the right direction, but we are in for another ugly year.

I'm happy to hear that, but the "especially in Waters" comment is disturbing. We need the improvement to come just about everywhere else. I'm fine with status quo for Waters. (Although improvement is still welcome.)
