Yeah but he only lost 1 game as a starter filling in for Grbac.Id like to have seen how he would have played if we had built around him in his younger days.

I agree--he qualifies--& that's the only thing I hold against Marty (but that's major right there)

Even though he was a good running back, I think the majority would agree that the o-line had more to do with his success.

They had a part in his success, but he had the work ethic that is not typically seen in modern sports. When Priest was at KC his style kind of rubbed off on LJ, but it seems like LJ has forgotten all about what it takes to succeed. He used to see the crack in the line and zip through it, now it seems like he waits for a hole a semi could drive through and that isn't happening in KC now days.

He led the league in rushing his first season (2001) when the team was horrible, they didn't know how to use him, and the line was not yet the dominate force it ended up being. Willie Roaf didn't get to KC until 2002 BTW.

Nick Lowery. Cut by 11 other teams before being the most consistent kicker we've ever had.

Norman Einstein · 09-19-2009, 11:47 AM

Ed Podolak

Art Still

Noland Smith - maybe

and that dude that had the theft ring going with Bam Morris

Deron Cherry...signed as a free agent punter.

OK,

I'll nominate Willie Lanier because I had lunch with him many years ago in Richmond, VA where #63 was working as a stock broker at the time (perhaps still?). Anyway, besides being one of my favorite Chiefs of all time, Willie was great to talk with, get his opinions of the league and share some common ground as it relates to family and problems which I won't go into.

I do recall Willie speaking fondly of the Chief's LB trio at that time of he, Bell, and 'the kid from Notre Dame'. Good stuff.
