Im sick of all the excuses for LJ. . .

He's just plain not getting it done. . .yes he has alot against him and alot has gone wrong for our offense this year, but if u want to be an elite running back in the NFL it shouldnt matter. . .Its not like Barry Sanders or Eric Dickerson always had much support. . .he is just plain not running well. .. I was watching E. James run loast night and couldnt figure out which one him or LJ hits the line like more of a pussy. . .LJ still has a goiod interior line. . .and needs to start creating more for himself. . .This is coming from a big LJ fan but maybe he isnt that good maybe it is just the system we had. . .

There is no excuse for 31 carries for 62 yards over two games. If we wanted that kind of production, we could be playing our 3rd stringer. LJ has got to pick it up if we're going to get on track.

he needs to take his diaper off..........

Be prepared, you're probably about to get blasted. There are plenty that won't like you pointing a finger at the golden child.

I, however, do agree with you.

Hew bulked up in the off-season to be able to take the punishment, now it's looking like a bad idea because he lost some of his speed in the process, but make no mistake our O-line sucks ass. Waters and Shields are the only players worthy of starting. Wiggs is under-sized for straight-ahead running. Sampson can't stay healthy and is still LEARNING the position, and Black shouldn't even be collecting a paycheck-he gets pushed around and has no heart. Shields has also lost a step, he's still a pretty good player, but the past couple of years have made him appear more mortal than year's gone by. The O-line sucks.

Brock · 10-17-2006, 12:01 PM

Yeah, both him and Edgerrin have suddenly forgotten how to play.

Archie Bunker · 10-17-2006, 12:02 PM

A bad o-line plus 8 in the box is a bad combination for any back. I don't care who the RB is if you have no where to run all you can do is get your 2-3 yrds.

LJ is not to blame IMO.

Dark Horse · 10-17-2006, 12:03 PM

A benching might be just what he needs. But what would that leave us, Dee Brown? Oh the humanity!

FloridaMan88 · 10-17-2006, 12:05 PM

Let's consider a few things:

1) The Chiefs have no downfield passing game. The Chiefs WRs scare no one and Tony Gonzalez is no longer a factor in the Chiefs offense. Teams are therefore putting their entire defense in the box to stop LJ.

2) The Chiefs offensive line is abysmal. Having mediocre run blocking makes it hard for any RB not named Barry Sanders or Jim Brown to gain significant yardage. See Edge James in Failzona this year. See Jamal Lewis in Baltimore last year.

StcChief · 10-17-2006, 12:06 PM

Light a fire under the Oline, blocking FB (m.i.a.) or blocking TE maybe.

Hog's Gone Fishin · 10-17-2006, 12:06 PM

Jesus Christ, Our whole team sucks! I had not realized that until now.

JBucc · 10-17-2006, 12:07 PM

It's certainly mostly on the fact that our Tackles are gone and our QB is down, but even in the games Roaf was out last year LJ averaged 150 yards a game. He's not runnnig angry hitting holes hard blah blah etc. I hope we start spreading things out to try and help give LJ some space and not run directly into a wall.

Demonpenz · 10-17-2006, 12:07 PM

he spent too many time in the clubs chasing women in the offseason

I would add: teams can afford to commit 8 to the box because they don't feel threatened by our receivers.

I will say this though, Bennett might have a little more success because he is shifty and has some speed. He might be able to make some of the first guys miss.

Of course Bennett's vagina will never fully heel so the point is mute.
