His blocking was good in the preseason, and good against the Ravens.

Haley talked about LJ being a back that needs a lot of carries to get going and then he only gave him 11. LJ needs more carries to get going...simple as that. Haley knows that and he'll have patience. The offensive line is going to need time to gel and get used to playing next to one another. The offense also has to get used to Haley's system, play calling, and rhythm, so it's probably going to take LJ some time to produce.
It's hard to do anything with 11 carries though. Adrian Peterson had 25 yards in the first half against Cleveland and then went off in the 2nd half. (Yeah yeah I know you can't compare Peterson to LJ, but the point is that you can't give up on a guy just because he isn't ripping off huge runs in the first quarter.) Plus, we're not going to play B-more's D every week, so LJ should have better days. |

Say we address the O-Line improving it from terrible to average/serviceable either this season by trade, however unlikely, or next season via draft and FA... do you believe that LJ will ever again run for 1k yards in a season while wearing a Chiefs jersey? |

With the O-Line improved THIS year, and I say improved because our greatest weakness on the line is now shoving McDonalds apple pies in his food hole by the dozen and e have an actual threat at QB this year so that should improve his chances as well, will he run for 1k+ this season?

300 carries, 1200 yards, 10 TD. Give or take a few.

Do realize how "Pollard-esque" that sounds? Tell me about LJ's 98 tackles again.

LJ's blocking is an important part of his game. Thus far it appears he has improved it. Being a sure tackler was an important part of Pollard's game. He didn't improve it, and now he's gone.

I don't buy him as "bought in". If had truly done so, you'd see him giving defenders pure hell instead of just playing like it was a job.

They started practicing it in camp this year regularly. Anyway, if he gets room to run, the produces. End of discussion. Haters to shut up until someone else is making more of their opportunities. And if Haley deems LJ fit to be the feature back, EVERYONE should ![]()

LJ's this team's best option at HB. And we were playing the Ravens. Hello?
They're as stiff as ANY defensive unit in the league against the run. I need to see more before I write LJ off. It's not as though anyone else outproduced him on Sunday... Charles can be valuable as a change-of-pace, but he's not a feature back.

I don't see how you can make a definitive judgement about anybody playing behind the line tackle to tackle. It's shit. Nobody did anything worth talking about. Brody was the only one that did anything and the most complimentary word you could use to describe his play was efficient. Against the Ravens (who arguably have the best front seven in the NFL) you can't make a judgement about any of those skill players playing behind this abortion of an offensive line. Is LJ done and all washed up? We will see soon enough. Father Time is undefeated. The question that should have been asked is when does Haley lose patience with the offensive line and bench them? I wasn't sure who was more worthy of the term toast on Sunday......Leggitt or our franchise left tackle.
