Great running backs can produce with marginal blocking and subpar blocking. They can't survive horrible blocking, and that's what he's had all year. I'm beginning to wonder if Roaf leaving castrated Waters and Wiegmann too (Shields is clearly too old at this point, and I'm not going to throw him under the bus, the guy busted his ass, even on the Croyle pick)

I agree with this. I think the O-Line is the biggest problem on the team, but LJ has not looked good to me this season. On the goal line, I want a back that is going to hit the hole hard and push the pile or leap over the top, but LJ has been consistently stopping at the line of scrimage to wait for a hole to open. Some might dress that up as patience, but to me it's a loss of momentum. I know it worked out OK for LJ one time yesterday, but that run looked harder than it had to be and on other occasions it didn't work out so well. |

If i had to boil it all down it'd look like this...1)Herm 2)Solari 3)O-line 4)DT's. But my special ire must go to the DT's, they were gettin' mashed 2,3,4 yards off the LOS all the live long day.

My point of view is this, LJ is a top-tiered RB but he he's running sub-par right now and he needs a kickstart. I, as well as many others, complained about the way DV handled him, but it sure looks like LJ needed it. Going into the next game, if he's running like he has been (tip-toeing, not hitting gaps, or plowing ahead) and he's averaging 2 ypc or less, (especially if he's putting the ball on the grass) halfway through the third quarter put him on the bench for the rest of the game. Then come out the next week and state your starting Brown, Bennet or even Ross for that matter. Then, have LJ sit the first 3-4 plays the next week before sending him in. I'd be willing to bet that he will come out on fire and could run forward with 12 men in the box and I will also bet he doesn't put the ball on the ground either. Sure there's blame to be laid on the O-linemen. Great lineman make marginal backs look good, and great RBs make marginal linemen look good.

No one is blameless for this one. When all phases of the game perform this badly, most of the blame should go to the head coach for not having the team and the rest of the coaching staff prepared.
What an embarrassment. I turned it off at 28-0 because it wasn’t worth my frustration and the inanimate objects around my house didn’t deserve the abuse they received. |

I would have to put the full blame on Herm for this one.
My opinion is that he is trying to force the offense into being something that they are not. I don’t think it was Solari’s idea to run, run and run some more (if so he needs to be dumped). I think this has Herms hand all over it. The Chiefs are not a run dominated team; they need to do play action and deep plays 50% or more of the time. It has to be a balanced attack between the run and passing. I also think this should put to rest the (so called) qb controversy, Haurd was not terrible but he sure was not good by any standard, we need Green on the field ASAP. |

I just took a look at the play by play. The fact is we threw twice as many times as we ran yesterday. In the first half they tried to stay with some balance with 9 runs to 11 passes. Problem is, neither the run nor the pass worked. Huard couldn't hit recievers, recievers couldn't catch, LJ couldn't run and the line couldn't block. Absolutely nothing they did worked. And IMO there has NEVER been a QB controversy. Plain and simple, we were outcoached and outplayed.
