Interesting Larry interview on KcChiefs.com

[Hammock Parties]

Dude sounds like he's going to be a Tasmanian Devil tomorrow. I can't wait! GO LARRY **** THE HATERS!

People don't understand how energetic I'm going to be during this first game. It's going to be pretty much the most exciting everyone's seen me since I started playing for Kansas City, because for me, this season is to prove myself again. So much has been going on personally in my life, there's so many naysayers, I'm excited. So much can happen.<object id="delve_playerceefbe638ea14522b70ad409bc53ea14151411" classid="clsid<img src=" images="" smilies="" big-grin.gif="" alt="" title="1grin" smilieid="76" class="inlineimg" border="0" height="290" width="249">

I will wait to see the results, instead of the lip service.

[ChiefGator]

I will wait to see the results, instead of the lip service.

Mmm.... lip service...

[Crashride]

I dont doubt larry at all. Im never agreed with anyone who plays the whole 400 plus carries "guarentees an injury" card. He really only has one full season under his belt. Even in college he only started his seinor year.

[Chief Henry]

Lets see if LJ can walk the talk... I just hope the O. line can be consistent.

[KCUnited]

I don't doubt Larry's in it to win it. I doubt our lines ability to block for him consistantly and I doubt Croyle's ability to keep 8 guys out of the box with his arm.

[Deberg_1990]

I dont doubt larry at all. Im never agreed with anyone who plays the whole 400 plus carries "guarentees an injury" card. He really only has one full season under his belt. Even in college he only started his seinor year.

While i dont think hes washed up, i do feel they need to start limiting his carries to maximize his effectiveness.

Im hoping Gailey is able to mix in Smith and Charles more. They need to model their run rotation like the Giants do.

But they Chiefs dont have a passer like Manning so they will most likely run more running plays than passing.

As bad as everyone thought LJ was last year before he got injured, he was still on his way to over 1000 yards rushing and he did make a few big plays.

[Smed1065]

Mmm.... lip service...

It was do me post. :spock:

[Smed1065]

Lets see if LJ can walk the talk... I just hope the O. line can be consistent.

According to him, it can. If he does not do good, then it is them.

See last year.

After the game, it is either:

I am god (see post starter) If I suck it is not me and the team fault.

I only make millions............

Go LJ.

[Skip Towne]

He only runs well when pissed off. Get DV in there to agitate him.

[DT58HOF]

Wow Larry it may be time to take the Diaper off and no binkie either.

[TRR]

Wow Larry it may be time to take the Diaper off and no binkie either.


If LJ wants to have a successful season, he is going to have to be patient. He can't get frustrated like last season. It seemed that he was trying to break the big run everytime he touched the ball. It was quite the opposite with Kolby Smith....he stayed patient and took what was there. LJ has to do the same thing this season. The old days of Roaf, Waters, Weigmann, Shields, and Tait/Welbourn are gone.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

But, I thought LJ was so beat up he needed a wheelchair to get around because of all those carries?

[Skip Towne]

You been talking to Mecca?

[Smed1065]

I hope he hates Biggie Clay....I mean 190 is good...but I hope Clay did not give it up already..........

[Pasta Little Brioni]

You been talking to Mecca?

:skip: could be the new LJ smiley.

[Smed1065]

But, I thought LJ was so beat up he needed a wheelchair to get around because of all those carries?


Total carries....he like RB that take 299 plus, but if they do not they are good.. lump in all now....But do not lump A first and a third..


Lienhart is not a bust. He needs more time while a 3rd is a bust.......

Yes Mecca is god...because college rules the NFL.

Go USC....

On this subject, you are a smart man.

[TRR]

On this subject, you are a smart man.

You'll quickly learn that I am smart regarding a lot of subjects...:D

[Inspector]

I hope they do some plays with 2 running backs. Especially 2 different style runners at the same time.

[Deberg_1990]

I hope they do some plays with 2 running backs. Especially 2 different style runners at the same time.

I like that idea alot too. Get more of your playmakers out on the field at one time.

Considering we are weak at WR and stronger at RB, not a bad idea at all.

[RealSNR]

You'll quickly learn that I am smart regarding a lot of subjects...:DNot to steal Iowanian's Keyboard of Doom schtick, but what's your opinion concerning our QB?

I'm only asking because I do agree with milkman. You've got great takes when it comes to football and I'm wondering what you see here.

[grandllama]

Larry seems to only play well when he has the chip on his shoulder. Last year after the $$$ payday he lost the chip - only to regain it when he listened to all the BS during his injury.

I just hope he has a big day tomorrow and then manages to keep the chip. Its a self feeding prophecy... play with the chip - KC fans don't like you with the chip - makes the chip bigger, lather, rinse, repeat.

I think that's a load of crap.

LJ played well because he had one the greatest offensive lines ever in front of him.
As that O-Line deteriorated, his production fell off.

LJ hasn't yet shown the patience to produce at a high level with an average OLine in front of him.

[Hammock Parties]

Where do you get off thinking the 2006 line was anything but average?

I'll never discount the fact that a line helps in making a back look good or bad, but Larry does not play well when he is not pissed at the world.

[milkman]

Where do you get off thinking the 2006 line was anything but average?

Still had Shields, Weigman, and Waters playing at a fairly high level, and Jordan Black was a scrub pass defender, but he did a fair job in run blocking.

It wasn't the great line of previous years, but it, overall, was pretty good.

[milkman]

I'll never discount the fact that a line helps in making a back look good or bad, but Larry does not play well when he is not pissed at the world.

I think that's a myth.

LJ wasn't pissed off anymore once the starting job was his.

That explains why they had so many horrible outings running the ball....that "pretty good" line... :spock:

2005 awesome Oline. 2006 average oline. 2007 piss poor to ****ing shitty Oline. He has it all.

[kcxiv]

I think that's a myth.

That didnt have anything to do with last year. We just ****ing sucked on the oline and at QB. Freak accident. It had nothing to do with how hard he ran or how many carries he had.

[Buehler445]

I think LJ is one of the best backs in the league in the secondary when he is pissed. He's got good feet and will lay some wood.

But if he doesn't get in the secondary, he can't use his talents nearly as well...He becomes an average back.

What I saw from the preseason, it appears that Chan is trying to get him back in the secondary. Even if he can face linebackers instead of DTs, I think we will see improvement.

[Deberg_1990]

Geez..some of you guys make it sound like LJ is now Rashan Sheehee or Frank Moreau.

[RedThat]

He only runs well when pissed off. Get DV in there to agitate him.

ROFL

Funny cause that's when he was at his best imo.

[Nightfyre]

Geez..some of you guys make it sound like LJ is now Rashan Sheehee or Frank Moreau.

LJ 2007 - 3.5 YPC
Shehee Career - 3.4 YPC

Just sayin'. Prove it or STFU LJ. I am tired of your underperforming rich ass. We should have traded you after your golden year. Anybody could have run behind that line. Take some responsibility and play better this year or gtfo.

[Mecca]

ROFL Oh man some comments about me when I'm not here....I enjoyed that thanks guys..

Honestly 1000 yards isn't a benchmark anymore, you only need about 65 yards a game to do that.

[Bwana]

I just hope he can back his mouth this year.

[Sure-Oz]

ROFL Oh man some comments about me when I'm not here....I enjoyed that thanks guys..

Agreed a good season is 1200+ yards imo

[SAUTO]

last year lj was on pace for 1120 yards, so by the end he couldve had over 1200 yards easily, due to our remaining schedule's run d not being as good as the 1st 8 teams we played and how lj gets better the farther into the season he gets.

[SAUTO]

but now mecca will come back and bring up how many carries he would have had to get there

[TRR]

Not to steal Iowanian's Keyboard of Doom schtick, but what's your opinion concerning our QB?

I'm only asking because I do agree with milkman. You've got great takes when it comes to football and I'm wondering what you see here.

Thank you...I appreciate that.

My take on Croyle and the QB situation? That's a tough one...Honestly, I feel like nobody really knows what Croyle is yet, and those that pretend to know, are doing just that...pretending. Does Croyle have some NFL tools? Without a doubt. Does he have some big issues? Without a doubt. I don't think Croyle will ever set the world on fire, but I do believe he can win games in the NFL. He's way more talented than a guy like Trent Green, but does he have Green's leadership ability and pocket presence? We don't know. Bottom line with Croyle is that he needs to be given time to grow, and needs help from his teammates just like any other NFL QB.

My prediction...Croyle could end up an accomplished QB comparable to a Rich Gannon or a bust like Rob Johnson. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

[FAX]

There once was a team called the Pats
Who would cheat out their ass (the foul rats)
But, we'll run awesome passes
And our Johnson up asses
So far they'll wear buttocks for hats

[FringeNC]

It's not yards that's important, it's yards per carry, and LJ and Kolby Smith were almost identical last year. And Smith is a better pass blocker. Who cares about LJ? It's all about moving the ball threw the air. RBs are easily replaceable. And given LJ's refusal to pass-block, I don't think he should start.

[Smed1065]

ROFL Oh man some comments about me when I'm not here....I enjoyed that thanks guys..

Honestly 1000 yards isn't a benchmark anymore, you only need about 65 yards a game to do that.

Are you here?


LJ sucks, because I said so.

Chiefs suck / Makes me know all/JW-Mecca..

[kstater]

So basically LJ's saying he only plays hard when he feels like he has something to prove? Uhhh, shouldn't he feel he needs to prove something every time he touches it?

[cjp27]

Yet again, LJ being all about himself. He'd rather run for 150 and 3 TDs and lose than run for 50 yards and win. I hope he goes off, though, because that's the only chance we have of winning this game.

[Smed1065]

So basically LJ's saying he only plays hard when he feels like he has something to prove? Uhhh, shouldn't he feel he needs to prove something every time he touches it?

But I am molded the bestes ever.. I said so. biotch.

Ask Clay.....

[FAX]

One of the interesting things about this year is how well LJ performs. I don't know if you guys have heard or not, but we're dang deep at RB. If LJ goes through another period like last year where he (for whatever reason) can't break the LOS and get to the second level, or can't get to the outside, or starts pouting and spiking balls and getting penalties and generally acting like an ass, we have other, pretty good options at that position.

I have a feeling that Charles is fitting LJ for a diaper right about now.

Right.

Amen to that Skip!!!:clap: Hey maybe if Herm tells him "Take your diapers off son your a veteran now" he will get motivated.:)

Means he sucks, IMO. Need to motivate after millions?

Oh his hood is different, lying ass. Tough nut-LOL
