This will really be the week to see if LJ "is all that."
Larry Coyer is probably licking his chops scheming for Kansas City without Priest Holmes. Of late, Holmes & Co. have bruised and beaten the Donks at Arrowhead. With LJ starting, I think you'll see Coyer being VERY aggressive; blitzes to shake Trent, zone/run blitzes early and often to stymie the Chiefs running attack. I bet you'll see them even call a few all-out blitzes as well. LJ runs straight ahead and this is what they will expect on Sunday. Having Holmes in the backfield probably doubles the possibilities for a defense to plan for.
Trent needs to have a sharp game passing to keep them honest. If that happens, LJ could get some nice gains. We need to keep them guessing by mixing it up AL!
Ahhh, like always, we will struggle (what do you expect, a blowout?).
