Why is Blaylock starting this week? - Page 2

Chiefnj · 12-07-2004, 01:26 PM

Why not just give the nod to Johnson since he is under contract for a few more years and played well last week?

Don't worry, LJ will get back on the field when Blaylock gets hurt again. I'm guessing 2nd quarter.

You shoulda seen all those blocks LJ missed in the 2nd half against the Raiders. Green was either on his back, or running for his life.

Too bad you missed it.

They are gonna need him next year.

I would agree. Blaylock starts, but LJ finishes.

I am dang happy to see LJ perform well.

wrong about kissing and hugging the D when it lets someone go deep on them too.

Thank you Goonther for ripping the fug out of them.

I, as a KC fan, am also sick and tired of being embarrased by their lack of performance.

I could be very sarcastic about this, but I won't.

Green is injured, we need at least decent blocking.

Well, everyone knows that Johnson is a 3rd down, change-of-pace back.

SECTION11 · 12-07-2004, 06:03 PM

He's starting in order to showcase his Free Agent value...

The passing game did not miss a beat with Johnson in the game last week. It was better, in fact.

Johnson looks like he could be the "real deal" someday. Its time to give the kid as many reps as possible. Blaylock has real talent too, but unfortunately we are probably going to lose him after the season ends.

they run the same O with Blaylock as Priest, have to change it up with LJ. Or so I heard someone say, don't remember who. Not so much a knock on LJ, with him not starting

edit: with injuries on the O-line, the back ups may have some trouble with it

Sure-Oz · 12-07-2004, 06:37 PM

I didn't really see anything change with LJ there, he did catch a few passes.

I thought they meant LJ will run it up the gut & the blocking changes. I don't see it, but I'm no football guru..that's for sure

I think it is more runs inside, instead of runs to the outside. Though he looked just horrible on that sweep for a TD.

I don't understand what the Chiefs are thinking either. The only thing I can think of is that DV is trying to audition Blaylock for other teams because he likes him. Nothing else makes much sense.

LJ's not going to get any better unless he gets playing time.
