But once you start mixing and swaping those names and the blocks don'ts always develop like they should, he gets in trouble, because he's not great and creating plays.
LJ, at 230+, can make holes for himself (eg. 2nd touchdown run). He just blows people up. Yes, he needs blockers, but he doesn't have to rely on them as much as Priest does.

I really hate to admit it, but today was the first time since Priest became a Chief that I was excited when he was off the field. Not calling for a total LJ conversion, I think it's great the way they are running them. I just got excited when #27 was on the field. I knew that someone was going to get hit.
