It does not help his cause when, for example in the middle of the 3rd quarter, he gets a 4 yard gain off a run outside the right tackle.

Instead of putting his shoulder down and fighting for a few extra yards, shit... even perhaps breaking a tackle, he merely runs out of bounds while taking a shove in the ribs.

Line of no line, the guy runs with no heart. I miss the days when he would put his shoulder down and smack a defender while gaining an extra yard or two.

That said, he is still our best option at RB but he is a flickering shadow of his former self.

Dude, he's DONE.

There's NO gas left in the tank.

In 2006, he set the single season record for most touches.

In 2007, he was injured for 8 games (and the Chiefs lost every game).

In 2008, he was suspended and didn't get to 1,000 yards.

He'll be 30 soon.

He is DONE.

I agree with you. LJ doesn't need monster holes, but he's not the type of back that can do anything when he's constantly hit in the backfield. Lots of good backs, like Shaun Alexander, who were the same way.

He isnt going to make a small hole any bigger... Dude has his money.. Its over...

LJ isn't constantly getting hit in the backfiled.

He does, however, constantly run right up O-Linemen's asses.

I don't know if you're joking or not...

but if he were on a team with a decent line, I truly think he could be a 4.4 (YPC) 1100 yard guy...

but that's just my opinion

I've said it 23 times and I'll say it again.

His legs stop moving the second contact is made. That is the single biggest sin any RB can commit aside from fumbling.

No vision and no heart.

I hope they put him on the trade block before week 6 and pray they get a 3rd.

Should have shipped him off to GB when we had the chance.

:cuss: Dammit Carl!

Of course he can.

He proved that last year.

Our line is absolute dogshit.

LJ is far from the worst player on offense. Yet that's what people here make him out to be.

Ya just ask matt lienhart about his garaunteed money . Haley has been pretty up front about playin the players that will give the chiefs the best chance to win. One reason why I'm startin to buy into his method of thinking.

I'm not joking. I liked LJ as the Chiefs running back. I didn't care about all the off-field stuff and the KC hate. That doesn't affect me at all.

But what I see is a guy with too much tread on the tires. He looks tentative. He slips all too often. He doesn't run with power and is often taken down with as little as a hand.

He's just not the same guy he was in 2006 or even 2008.

With that being said, he's still the Chiefs best RB.

Age is as bitch.

Meh...I never saw him as a power back...he was always better when he got to the 2nd level...where he was truly scary...problem is...he has no way of getting to the 2nd level with this god damn OL.

At this point in his career, LJ need to be on a team running a zone-blocking scheme.

His vision has never particularly been good. It absolutely pales in comparision to a guy like Priest Holmes or Marcus Allen. But in a zone scheme, there would be obvious holes for him to hit.

Right now, there's nothing.

And without that, even a for split second, his game suffers.

Lj Looks like he just wants to collect the rest of his money and retire. He doesn't give a ****.

If he gets hurt, he won't be able to collect the same amount of dough.

Look at his blocking.

he has always been an awful blocker remember when he got trent green killed
