I still can't believe that after his first 40some odd yard TD against the Titans he was still delegated to the bench for a series.
LJ's got the burst that Priest lacks. |

I can't believe that any Chiefs fan would want to trade Holmes or LJ after going through RBbc for so many years. We got one stud RB who is aging and one who is young. That seems lke the perfect scenario to me.

Look at how Saunders designs all of those gimmicky plays to get Dante the ball behind the line of scrimage with two or three blockers in front of him. Primarily that play where Trent does a quick three step drop, fires the ball to Dante with the tight end and a couple of receivers for blocking. Why not design a couple much simpler plays to get LJ the ball with a little space to run (i.e. draw plays, swing pass into the flats, quick slant, etc.)? I"m not so sure LJ couldn't have absorbed some of Kris Wilson's plays and done well with them. In fact, I'm not so sure that LJ couldn't do a damn good job with Dante's play. In the end, maybe that's what this is all about. For Vermeil and Saunders to truly take advantage of LJ's skills they might have had to tweak the plays a bit more than they were willing to do after objecting to his drafting in the first place.

I don't believe Priest needed very much back up. |

At the end of the day, it was LJ's play without the ball that kept him on the pine or in street clothes. The Chiefs are not the only team that will not put a RB on the field if he is going to get the QB killed. LJ has greatly improved his pass blocking and is now seeing more time. His intelligence and ability has never been questioned. |

Priest is perfect at the 11 yard run (which I consider football's most beautiful play). On the other side of the coin, LJ is a home run hitter and a power back in one, nicely sandwiching the artistry of Holmes. |

Everybody has a weakness in their game. The job of coaching, IMO, is to accentuate the positive while working on the negatives. While this coaching staff makes excuses for EVERYBODY else on this team, they somehow manage to find fault with LJ even while he is the one player most responsible for SPARKING our team to its last two victories in a row. Give LJ some credit. At least he's making the rest of this season worth watching. Last edited by penchief; 12-17-2004 at 06:58 PM.. |

I do not understand the logic in tweaking the best offense in football over the last 3 years so one whiney young runningback who could not block gets more playing time. Let him sit and learn and improve through practice just as they did. |
