Johnson gets a game ball..
 

He's not Holmes, but he's better than Blaylock.

It's simply amazing what a player can do if you let him off the bench and allow him do what he's paid to do.

If Holmes were to retire after this season, I'd be very comfortable with LJ as the starter.

He showed some good speed in the open field. That swing pass catch he ran for a TD was well run.

Reason to hope for '05

I just figured out why Vlad was in such a pissy mood over the win.

I am happy for the team but not for that POS LJ. I will never like the whiny little bitch but when he does well for the team that is great. Hopefully when it comes to his next contract negotiation Carl screws his azz.

I dunno. He ran well, but his running style doesn't look very good. It's just not... reassuring. I prefer Priest's style.

ROFL Excellent timing.

He is a first round rb, and it is just stupid that he has been third sting this season. He and a legit beef with DV. Why draft his ass in the first round, and then let a FA to be nail down the #2 spot.

I really think he needs to be involved in our offense next season, let Priest be the starter and then have LJ spell Priest to keep him fresh.

ROFL ROFL

Gee, yathink?

I thought it looked like he was stumbling. They showed a slow-mo replay & he wasn't stumbling he was changing direction. It looks weird

Spooky...
 

Well I for one have defended LJ all fu@king year, not just after he has a good game. I still don't like that we drafted the guy, but since we did we should get him on the field.

I don't care what his style looked like. You don't get points for style in the NFL. LJ looked good out there yesterday.

As for what happens next year: If Priest comes back, they will most likely let Derrick Blaylock become a free agent. And he will most likely become a starter for some other team in dire need of a RB. i.e. Miami.
If Priest decides to retire(a small possibility, IMO), I'm guessing the Chiefs will try to keep Blaylock and let he and Johnson compete for the 1st string tailback position. Either way, I feel really good about our RBs for next year. :)

Actually this thread explains my pissy mood about the game. I did not watch the game so I did not see LJs performance and spent time with the family instead.

it was like 5 yards a pop, very nice

Oh...

Nice...yet that didnt stop you to offer your critique on him in this thread.

That is pure genious (chiefsplanet spelling)

We can tell.

LJ was just LJ, nothing special. He didn't do anything any of the other HB's we have couldn't do.

Servicable....that's it.


It was a wasted pick that we must live with ......

Well, my post was just a joke about your long-running (no pun intended) distaste for LJ, which you only demonstrated in the post that followed it.

I saw your thread. I find it somewhat ironic that it was written by the same person who once replied to one of my posts with a list of our first round draft picks for the past 10 or 15 years in an effort to prove how many picks have been wasted. Face it, the higher the draft pick, the more pissed off you're gonna be when the Chiefs' pick at that position doesn't appear to make any sense.

We win, you bitch about draft order.
We lose, you bitch about our pick later.

Congratulations. You seem to have all the bases covered. You can be in a pissy mood for quite some time. :thumb:

yeah 150+ yards and 2 touchdowns. CHICKEN SHIT. Hell I could probably do that.





:rolleyes: maybe we should start Scanlon at HB.

I'm most surprised by his speed..he has long strides so it doesn't look like he is running fast....but runs away from people in open space.

He doesn't have Priest's ankles (cutting ability) but he has a pretty sweet combo of speed and power. And when DV leaves next year our new coach can start over with a talented RB.

Its funny to listen to commentators rave about Jackson in St. Louis....imho, Johnson is the same back, only faster...

Agreed.

He did run against the Raiders, people seem to forget/disregard that.
That's like judging Blaylock according to his NO performance. He is NOT a 200 YPG rusher.

"LJ ain't no Scanlon, I'll tell you bitches that much right now!"

metro knows this because he's seen LJ in his numerous other starts. Forget the fact he ran well against the number 2 defense in the league last week.

Wake up, Mr. Webster...you got some updating to do...
 

lol, Blaylock looked like crap yesterday.

Did you actually watch the game?

Johnson will be here for a long time. Blaylock is leaving. Get used to it.

I doubt anyone claimed he was a 200 YPG rusher.

Better get used to him, cause he's staying and Blaylock is leaving.

I like LJ even if he is a whiny bitch.

:stupid:

actually I'm not "with" stupid. I was just pointing out the fact that you're stupid.

you're a whiny bitch and we like you...

I guess by #2 you mean #28. It's OK I understand. I said we shouldn't judge him by this game like we shouldn't judge Blaylock by the NO game. Dumb mizzou frosh.

Letting first round picks not play year after year is waste of a first round pick, makes no sense.

good thing I wasn't talking about Oakland. SD is number 2. Nice try though. Slipped and fell on your ass, but that's to be expected from a Gayhawker.

You are stupid.

ULTIMATE DISS

Crap, all I said was the truth. It was the Raiders people, like it was the Saints for Blaylock.

PH could of had a career day against either of those 2 teams, it just turns out LJ and Blaylock did too !

I'd love to see you try.

Are you fucking stupid? We are talking about the Raiders game...
Blaylock ran better in the SD game. Now, please stfu.

I'd love to see you die.



























ok I wouldn't love to see you die.

I beg to differ...
 

Is this gonna turn into another thread where everyone makes you look like an ass?

You're right, it was just the Raiders. Apparently you missed his performance against San Diego.

Blaylock 8 rushes for 57 yards, 2 TDs
Jonson 10 rushes for 43 yards, 1 TD

Please explain how I'm an ass by saying that Blaylock ran better?

great he ran "better"(barely, and most of his yards were on a 22 yard run with a hole the size of your mothers ass) what about the Raider game where Blaylock got knocked around like a bitch? He's too small. LJ is the future get used to it.

LMAO, when did I say he wasn't the future. I said we shouldn't judge by the Faiders game. You can seriosly stop sucking his dick now.

BTW, LJ's yards came from a 13 yard run with a decent hole as well and some nice blocking. Now go sit down and don't talk anymore.

we shouldn't judge by the raiders game, but we SHOULD judge by the chargers game(a game where there was little difference in who ran)

yeah.....that makes since :hmmm:

You're missing the point. Yes, he ran well against a shitty Raiders D. But he also ran well against a good SD D. So far he's performed well in both games where he's been given a significant amount of carries. What else can we ask for at this point?

You are ****ing stupid man, jesus. We shouldn't judge by SD's #2 defense because friggin Blaylock ran just as well as LJ. ****ing MUrons.

okay then we'll judge by the raider game where blaylock got JACKED UP. and LJ gained 150 yards+ and 2 touchdowns.




ROFL

So because Blaylock got speared (see, illegal) and was injured that means he couldn't have ran as well as LJ. OK.




ROFL

metrolike and david need to **** (rhymes with suck)

I dont want that midget.

Maybe they can arrange a "four bedpost match" with Scanlon & Roy.

Cripple fight!!

He came back out and got JACKED UP. He's just too small. I'm not talking about height like Priest. His frame just isn't big enough for an NFL rb. Good thing we had a big capable back in LJ or else we would have lost the raider game because DB IMO is too small to hack it.

Ain't no fight, just trying to make people see how it is. LJ could be hella good, but IMO he hasn't proven it yet.

Oh, so the size the problem. I agree that Blaylock isn't big, but he makes up in speed and agility for that. He got hit in the HEAD illegaly, that could happen to Priest just as easily.

illegal ismeagel.....


I have to go to class.


I assume we're all in agreement that I'm right and therefore win. MU>KU

I wish I'd have seen the game. I've yet to see Johnson run and look confident with my own eyes.

I'm glad he's improving and giving some looks at potential. It never made sense to me for Vermeil to bash him, if they had any intention of trading him for more than some used Hubba Bubba.

In summation...

Call me Ismeagel.

no problem Ismeagel

Thank you, David..

It appeared to me neither of them did well against San Diego ?

So your point again is ?

Please, to much information.

LMAO, you assume you are right? Hahahahaha. Your argument: "illegal ismeagel", ROFL you are saying if Priest got inured in the same way you'd say he did worse than LJ? ROFL

*Notice my use of the smilies, just like David, I'm soo cool.

All I said on this thread about him was:

That is not a critique on his performance, in fact that would indicate I understand he had a good game for the team.

Heh...
 

I might mess this up, but try and stay with me: don't most RB's do good against poor defenses, and poor against good defenses?

So if our RB's do poor against the Titans staunch Run defense, that wouldn't mean they were bad RB's.

LJ has good speed and vision. Does seem to get tripped up in traffic even if not directly hit.

I would say that he is a back that is above average, and like most NFL backs, the OC needs to take in consideration his particular skills when calling plays. Since he has big feet and is a long strider, it would be better to call plays where his first cut is by design behind the line of scrimmage.

He seems to be able to make one guy miss, but not in traffic.

you ackin like a lil bitch right now

Prove me wrong first, and I'll stop acting like you.

hey, no one ordered logic....keep you wisdom and sanity to yourself, thank you

quit trying to ruin a sweet chick fight
