Good: LJ - What's he done that warrants putting him in this category. It may well be that he's being hampered by poor offensive line play, unimaginative play calling, and a lack of opportunity to get in any kind of rhythm, but what I see is a big monster of a man tip toeing tenatively up to the line and then leaning into the pile. Priest was able to pull this kind of thing off, but I think LJ is better served when he hits the hole (or the pile) at full speed.

I think he is running hard. The fact that this team puts themselves behind the 8-ball and has to play catch up really hurts his touches. Not only that, but for him to get into rythym with his line, they have got to convert third downs. 3-and-outs over and over will hamper any RB. He is running tough and drawing the defense in. Chicago had to be laughing their ass off. they were DARING KC to do anything other than run or pass longer than 5 yards and KC still refused to do it.

Ugly: Huard - Maybe I don't disagree with this one too much. He hasn't been pretty, but he doesn't seemed to be the primary problem with our passing game IMO.

See above. LJ's presence is giving this team plenty of opportunites to move the ball. Huard is a BIG reason why they aren't.
