He does not have ANY fire in him. He used to take on safeties instead of skipping out of bounds. He used to hit the hole (or pile of linemen) hard and fight for every inch. Now, he gets the ball, dances around, half-assed runs into the line and falls down. Or he breaks a decent run (vs. the Pats) and after running for about 15 yds, he simply goes out of bounds, when he could take on the safety, and gain another 3,4 or 5 yards.
It makes me sick when guys making millions don't give it their all. Maybe he has been told to tone it down and save himself, if so then I guess he is doing what is right. But more likely, he has achieved what he wanted from the Chiefs, and that is a fat retirement plan, now that he has it, why would he want to put himself through that kind of punishment?
And if he is giving it everything he has, then I apologize. But if that's the case then it's time to retire. Because that showing today from LJ was nothing short of PATHETIC.
