Will LJ reach 1000 yards this year?

chiefsfan1963 · 10-01-2007, 11:18 AM

If so, how far over 1000 yards? 1600 does not look good right now.

**cdcox** · 10-01-2007, 11:19 AM

yes, barring injury. I'd guess 1200-1400.

Direckshun · 10-01-2007, 11:22 AM

I think he could still easily eclipse the 1,400 barrier if the offense continues playing with two full dimensions. We have just enough weapons in the passing game to force defenses to respect it if we'd give it a serious try for an entire game.

After that, we'll start to see a lot more of those 37-yard rumblers that we saw at the end of the Chargers game.

1200 yards in a season is only a 75 yard/game average. LJ needed 81 yards/game for the rest of the season to hit 1200. He definitely went over that in San Diego. He will definitley reach 1000 yards though. Maybe not 1200 though.

1000 easy.

I say 1350

nychief · 10-01-2007, 11:25 AM

He is starting to heat up. I don't really give a shit as long as we win.

Monty · 10-01-2007, 11:25 AM

Even with his slow start, he's projected to get 1,052 yards, so if he improves over his 65.75 YPG average thus far, he should easily get 1,300 or more.

agree w/ CD Cox

If we keep throwing the ball downfield to TG and Bowe things will open up for him. Teams with tough DTs will continue to give us trouble regardless. Our O-line isn't going to push people around the way it used to. We should be able to run at will against teams like the Broncos, but Oakland? Not so much.

Hootie · 10-01-2007, 12:58 PM

I still think he's going to get close to 1,500...

Chief Chief · 10-01-2007, 01:13 PM

He'll should get another 100+ yards against SD in KC, probably 250-300 yards in the 2 games against the Bonkos, and a ton of yards in the Bungles, Bitans, toothless Lions, and J-E-T-S SUCK-SUCK-SUCK! games. I doubt he'll get 1600 or more 'til KC adds quality blockers to their O-line.

**DaneMcCloud** · 10-01-2007, 01:13 PM

Dumb question.

With three out of the first four games on the road, revamped offensive line along with missing most of training camp, LJ was bound to start out slowly.

He'll probably finish with somewhere around 1,650 yards of total rushing and receiving.

Still, a dumb question considering the circumstances.

StcChief · 10-01-2007, 01:50 PM

LJ will be fine. 1500+
