Chiefs LJ Could be a 2000 yd back this year

KC plays 9 games against teams who finished 21st or worst against the run
Chan is going to feature Larry
Chiefs face only 3 opponents in '08 with a top 15 run D

If he does have a PB year, it will make Carl's decision to give him all that $ a bit easier to accept. Personally, I don't blame LJ for the yucky ground attack last year.

12 more days till Madden 2009 comes out!!!!!!

He'll have to have better blocking to perform a 2000 yd. season ....

MichaelH · 08-03-2008, 07:20 AM

Anybody could with 600+ carries.

LJ was on pace for 1,200 last year with the worse O-line in the league. I don't know if 2,000 is ever going to be possible with our current O-line, but he'll be a force this year. 1,500 yards is my guess.

Sounds more plausible than my homerific prediction, but I think as a team the Chiefs may get 2k.

I have no doubt that LJ has the ability for 2,000.

What I see Chan doing is also getting LJ the ball in space on screens, swing passes and check downs... all plays that Larry excels in and can break for big gains.
I think the competition with Kolby and Jamal Charles is ONLY a good thing for the Deisel.
I also think if (God forbid) LJ gets hurt, our 2 and 3 backs can shine.

I could live with that obviously. But ive said many times, the Chiefs need to limit LJ to 20-25 carries a game and around 1200-1400 yards a season to prolong his career.

Give those extra carries and yards to Charles and Smith.

Homerism extreme.

I hope they do give LJ more swing passes ... I expected more of that sort of thing last year, but Solari was clueless.

Possible, but unlikely. We'll see. I'm looking for him to stay healthy and get angry. The rest will work itself out.

I think there was a diagram of Hutard throwing LJ a swing pass floating around here.

**ChiefGator** · 08-03-2008, 09:10 AM

I pick 8th in my fantasy league, which is just about exactly where I wanted. Might be a wee bit of a reach, but I'm should be able to pick LJ there. I do expect a big year, especially with catching more passes out of the backfield.

**Bowser** · 08-03-2008, 09:36 AM

No way, no how, not behind this inexperienced offensive line. And that's not even emntioning Albert's injury.
