This is absolutely not true.

Just watch it - especially in the 1st half when we're trying to get something going. A quicker, more -decisive back would have had 3 times as many yards as LJ. I don't expect GoChiefs to agree with any of this. Hell, he was typing his response before he even read the post.

All it takes to see a difference is when Savage or Charles are in. Granted, our OL sucks. All the more reason to go a different direction/change of pace.

So, nine yards instead of three.

Woo.

You really don't get it. When Charles gets the majority of his handoffs, they come in passing situations. He has a ton of space to work with. There is no comparison. None.

Bullshit. The 15 yarder was a run around the end. And just because that's the current setup doesn't mean it'll stay that way. Not with this coach.

I wish I had not deleted the game off my DVR now.

I have seen LJ hit the line and immediately curl into a ball more times these past 3 weeks than I can recall watching ANY rb over the course of an entire season.

Unless he has a hole 4 feet wide, 95% of the time he makes ZERO effort to move the ball up field and instead tips over on to his back.

His feet stop moving.

*cue the insults

When LJ actually gets a decent hole he is through it for a positive gain. There's nothing he can do with two guys in his face right after he gets the handoff.

I looked at the game a little last night and for the most part he made the most of what he had. There were a couple plays where he missed a hole, but only a couple. And he had a very nice cutback ran for a 14-yard gain where he made a guy miss.

Charles usually has a lot more space to work with due to the fact he is getting the ball in passing situations on draws. He did have one little run where he made a couple guys miss in the backfield. His called back TD run was also impressive.

But you are painting a picture that LJ is some huge problem and Charles is the answer, and it is not true.

Fer crissakes, I saw LJ take a pitch yesterday, had a nice lane opening up on the right side and was headed through it. But Niswanger blew a block on a linebacker so horribly at the line that the LB just sped through it and ran into LJ right after he got the pitch.

He has no chance when crap like that happens. And it has happened twice in three games now. Niswanger couldn't block Ray Lewis on a similar play.

I'm not going to say LJ is perfect but when he gets a hole he is fine. There are a lot of good running backs around the league struggling right now. LJ is no different.

Give it up. He is done.

I know what I see, Skip.

This running back is not done.

Anyone saying LJ is done is an idiot. The guy is getting hit in the backfield on about half the plays he gets the ball. His quickness to the hole is fine and he still breaks plenty of tackles. The problem is the line simply is not even allow LJ to get to the first level to find a seam, much less the second level. When a back is getting tackled for a 6 yard loss and he's not Barry sanders that's the lines fault.

And this guy, MahiMike, was telling us all how the Chiefs were going to beat the Eagles all last week.

You didn't think I bet any $ on the game did you? With a real RB in the backfield and Bowe playing, that game is much closer. I was hoping Haley would see tjhe light and bench LJ.

No, it's not.

This isn't 1992.

It's 2009.

If the Chiefs win a single game this year, I'll be pleased as punch.

But it won't be against an NFC East juggernaut.
