2007: LJ could be out a while. Possible long term injury?

[BigRedChief]

Consider this a rumor.
Again I'm not saying this is fact but someone who has told me medical "stuff" about Chiefs players in the past and it has turned out to be true told me this.

LJ has a garden variety sprained ankle but thats not worrying the Chiefs or LJ.

They think its his foot thats is the real concern and specifically worst case scenerio Plantar Fasciitis or a pulled ligment in the foot. It happened when LJ tryed to pull on his foot when it was under Hawk and stretched that muscle on the bottom of his foot and in the arch. It could take 3-4 weeks of rest or in rare cases to a year to recover. But until the swelling goes down they won't know for sure.

Again just FYI passing it along.

No I would not want broken down premadonna Diaper Boy and his contract on the Raiders. RB is the one postion where we are loaded.

BTW,
Autumnwind, you're an idiot. Atlanta was not playing nickel. They were trying to shut down LJ. Why would you play a nickel when you know the opposing QB sucks? Judging by your comments, I doubt you know much about football. Of course, being a Raiders fan, that is typical.

Here is a comment on Diaper Boy another fellow chief fan wrote: I don't understand why LJ is getting so much credit. The Falcons came out of the second half up several possessions. They quit crowding the line of scrimmage, lo and behold, we had a bit of a running game. You'd think this might be a wake-up call to our offensive staff and head coach that if defenses had to honor our passing game, maybe we could run the ball a little. I realize passing vertically in order to open up the running game is "arena ball" philosophy, someone should tell the rest of the NFL.

In this case Autumn Wind is right. LJ's stats on Sunday were completely meaningless. He did seem to run more determined than he has this season but that isn't saying much. LJ is nothing special without a good or great offensive line. He will never be productive with this roster. And to say the Raiders would want him is comical. The Chiefs should get anything they can for LJ ASAP. By the time our online is good he will be completely worthless.

[SAUTO]

maybe he got yards because the coaches called a DIFFERENT play for him. did any of you ever think of that?

funny that so many people said the exact opposite during the great Priest vs. LJ debate.

To me they were both the same. They were great as long as the offensive line could give them some help. Neither one is/was anything special. They should never be mentioned in the same breath as a Tomlinson or Peterson. They are more along the lines of a Shawn Alexander. On the right team LJ could be an extremely productive back but this isn't that team and never will be that team while that potential is still in him.

[InChiefsHeaven]

Tomlinson would suck on this team. The only back in history that might not would be Barry Sanders.
