Let Charles carry the load

[wolfpack]

Since LJ dosen`t want to bounce it outside and Charles will, give the ball to him. Also Charles burst gets him through the hole(or what there is of one) faster than LJ.
I also think Smith`s speed mightbe suited for our line.
LJ`s 45 mil,orwhatever, is the only thing keeping him in.
Trade him or sit him!

Herm a roid said he wouldve went for two and already had the play in mind had Bowe not stunk it up.

All 402 QB injuries..... No pass protection.

Late hit on Green? What was Green doing? Was he running for his life? Possible lack of protection.

It's true, all QBs take some hits. But Herms QBs take alot more hits.

You can say that you don't understand all you want, but you do.

It amazes me that a head coach who has seen his QB get injured every season, often several QBs, can actually draft less protection than any NFL team, over a seven year period. Then wonder why his QBs are getting hurt.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Green was trying to make a play, so he does what he always does. He tried to run for the 1st down and made it, but got injured in the process. I'm with Texas on that one, that was all Green, not Herm.

you are saying these things as if they are truths. show me some stats how Herm has drafted fewer Oline players than anyone else in the league, please post them. I'm genuinely interested. I'd also like to know if Herm's QB are getting hit more. Again, I'd love to see some stat on this.

We're talking about professional football players that get paid to knock each other in the dirt. I can't blame Herm for all these qb injuries....
It is up to the individual player to keep himself injury-free so that he may play another day by(IMO):
Making smart decisions
Keeping himself in top physical condition
Knowing his teammates and his opponent
And probably a little luck
Hell, if every team had just one sack a game, thats over 500 sacks a year! Lots of opportunities for qb injuries.
I'm just saying that ol problems isn't the sole reason for qb injuries on Herms' teams.
Brady out for the year. I'm not going to blame Belicheat for that one...

I don't care who carries the load, as long as the Chiefs win.

I'm not gonna blame herm for any injuries. Brodie's not exactly big, and LJ's likely over his peak.

The real issue with LJ is that he is ALWAYS considered a power back (cuz he's big), but he doesnt play like that much of a power back. LJ has always needed to get passed the def. frontline before he could breakout. Just think about his runs, when a defender gets to him before he is a couple yds passed the line o' scrim, he always gets tackled. This is where LT, frank gore, adrian peterson, etc all seperate themselves from him.

I agree. LT averages what, 4 yrds, 2 yrds a carry? He is always getting tripped up. I personally don't think LJ runs HARD like he used to. I remember how holmes ran HARD and always at an angle. This seemed to work so well, he was always beating def players on the slant run, he always picked up a few more yards.
That is the main difference I see with LJ vs. Gore, Peterson, etc. Those RB's run HARD. Look at Peterson last week, you could tell he was out there runing hard and wanting it. Right now I couldn't tell you want LJ wants. I know a couple years ago he wanted to be a starter. he got it.....now what?

[nigeriannightmare]

But you blame Herm for the defense bringing more defenders on a blitz than the offense has men to block? I don't get that. Same as i don't get how you can blame him for the late hit Green took or the shoulder injury of Pennington. Go back and look at each injury individually and show me how Herm Edwards was responsible.

Although you may not want to blame Herm for all of our quarterbacks problems, you can't deny the fact the under his coaching they all seem to get injured. Was looking at a couple of Jets sights and they had the same problems with his coaching as some of us chiefs fans do. Maybe he is just cursed....

"Under his coaching?" Like he has them play in a fashion to get injured easier. Your a fool.

Some of us may post out of anger with the way Herm has ran things around here, and it's clear that we're all just posting our opinions. I know you've been told this before, but I think it needs to be reiterated. Try to keep it cool with the insults. Things like "idiot" and "fool" won't fly too well here.

Just some friendly advice. =)
