Why is Blaylock starting this week?

They are gonna need him next year.

I would agree. Blaylock starts, but LJ finishes.

I am dang happy to see LJ perform well.

[Sure-Oz]

Blaylock i bet will start every game the rest of the season, but LJ will probably get a pretty good amount of carries.

WHY DON'T WE RUN THE 3-4

[Chris Meck]

We don't have enough decent linebackers to run a 4-3, let alone a 3-4.

[Bob Dole]

From an insider email Bob Dole just received

Because Larry is still struggling over issues like "in which hand do I carry the ball". On a positive note, he now seems to understand that the opposing team is wearing different colored uniforms.

Baby steps.

We don't have enough for a 6-1.

Pssst, Demonpenz was just joking.

I admit I did not see the game and only listened to it on the net. But I did not think that the Raiders mounted much of a pass rush. I think the Titans will.

I am not so sure Johnson has the game yet to protect Green like Blaylock will. I think I read somewhere that Bober is out for monday night and either Black or Sampson would start. Meaning Green is going to need all the help he can get.

if black starts, i think we'll be alright...

he's played well in relief of waters and he's the guy who's supposed to take over from roaf, so he should be about as good as wellbourn and bober...

i'd like to see something of sampson, but only when trent has been taken out of a blowout or the like...

Blaylock gets the start because he is the better all around RB at this time. LJ will get his snaps though. I like being loaded! At RB I mean O.K. both

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

[el borracho]

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

[SECTION11]

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

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

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.
