I have lost faith in Larry Johnson
 
Rushing ATT YDS TD LG
L. Johnson 22 74 0 22

No vision. Dude just kept running in to walls. Priest was always able to recover and STILL gain yards on the outside.

Well priest had a better line across the board, but LJ or the coaching are/will not ever adjust schemes.. I do not know why LJ thinks he has to run it up the butt of the blocker every time..

I dont think he ran outside the guards/tackles once that I can remember.. I do not know if that is on him or the coaches.. Ok there was one toss play that I do remember.. It looks like he was moving half speed of everyone else..

LJ is a bruiser
who needs a seam
he's chocking from lack of air or daylight

don't know what happened to him really.

it wasn't like the line was amazing when he had his two big years. better than now but it was in decline.

not so much as blocking, but back then he looked like a raging bull, punishing people and running them over. he doesn't seem to run as 'tough' now.

of course we had more of a passing attack back then

I think what we saw today out of LJ is what we are going to see all season.

He and Charles could make a hell of a combo if we had a good OL and a half-way decent passing attack that would keep teams honest. Too bad we don't have either of those things.

it was fairly good, but those guys were on the down side of their careers. i was responding to what someone said about holmes having an amazing line which was true. the line was declining in 05 and 06, not what it was for say holmes in 2003

That one play where he bounced it outside was a great running play.

Everything else was right between the center and guards. Running on first down so much and the playcalling certainly didnt help him out.

You talking about that line with that blocked for Priest and Larry ? The one that practically everybody who ever watched a football game said was one of if not THE best ever?

it was good but the thing is, if Charles had been in there he has the speed to break that.

you shouldn't have had any.

blueballs 09-07-2008 04:41 PM

the strange thing about LJ is that it he looks like he's a sloth on tv
then another player comes into the picture and you see how fast their legs are moving
its deceptive

Hammock Parties 09-07-2008 04:43 PM

It amazes me the ignorance Chiefs fans show sometimes.

triple 09-07-2008 04:45 PM

i know, some people think larry johnson is an elite back. he's above average but he is not one of those guys who will put up huge numbers even if the line is not so good.
