Chiefs LJ learning to block?

ziggysocki · 08-22-2009, 07:18 PM

Maybe it is just me, but I thought LJ did a nice job in picking up blocks a few times on Friday night. Any thoughts from all the football experts out there?

Sorry if repost...

My thoughts - if he remembers how to run the football from 3 or 4 years ago he'll be all set

He could still run similarly... given an O-line that could at least be successful at the college level. Out line SUCKS. Adrian Peterson wouldn't get shit behind our blockers.

Like him or not, we are stuck with him. As long as Savage fumbles balls like Gochiefs gargles them, we might as well hope he succeeds.

ljs vision is terrible all he sees is the centers butt and runs right up it

He looked really slow and not explosive like he used to be to me running the ball. On the play that Henderson blew up he should of been farther along in the run and Henderson shouldn't of been able to make that play.

LJ has lost a bunc of speed. He can't get to the corners any longer. The LB's beat him there while they used to wonder where he went. He seems to have lost his power as well so I don't know what he is good for.

LJ kind'a sucks.

These two posts, while unfortunate, are true.

Faiderfan, when did you start talking about legit football topics? Or is this a lame attempt to stir shit?

Just a ploy. Come regular season he'll have his cape back on and be spitting drinks in women's faces while running a 4.2 40!

LJ was never a burner.

He had JUST enough speed to make it around the corner back in the day. Not only has he lost that speed though but also the willingness to put his shoulder down and bulldoze his way to an extra 2 or 3 yards.

Seems like his feet stop moving as soon as contact is made. That should never happen.

This.

I wasn't saying he hasn't slowed down, or lost power, or anything else. I was just pointing out that he made some nice blocks on pass rushers that we have seen him whiff on regularly in his career.
