If Herman would have used a small fraction of intelligence and limited LJ's usage perhaps we would have seen LJ continue the production he gave early in his career. However, this does not excuse LJ for quitting on passing plays no matter if he was assigned to catch or block, it also does not excuse what he said to the fans of Kansas City or his various crimes he committed in our city as well. It was obvious that Larry had quit on our team by the end of last year and bringing him back for this year was foolish from the start.

LJ was a guy who could make a LB miss after running through a hole the size of a Sherman tank, and then he would knock DBs on their ass.

He was never a real power back though.
He rarely plowed into LBs.

Once the line degenerated, he became virtually useless, and on thos rare occasions when he got to teh second level, he became a pussy, running out f bounds, or going down with first contact.

I think the plowing through LB's remark came from my memory of that San Diego game in 2005, LJ ran with a fury in that game and did plow through a couple of LB's on a few occasions. I remember my amazement when LJ's helmet came off as he carried about three chargers on a 20 yard gain.
