Default A What if...

All signs in KC seem to be pointing to the Chiefs cutting LJ

www.kansascity.com | 10/21/2008 | Johnson may not start Sunday

Arrowhead Pride - An Unofficial Kansas City Chiefs blog

Now, I don't know the cap considerations that cutting Johnson would be for the Chiefs, but don't underestimate how badly Herm can screw something up (insert chuckle here, on how the Jets actually got the Chiefs to GIVE THEM A 5TH RD DRAFT PICK FOR HERM!), but WHAT IF, the Chiefs cut LJ, would you like to see the girlfriend slappin LJ here?

He is the Antione Smith/Corey Dillon style back that the Pats seem to thrive with. He would show up with a Randy Moss size chip on his shoulder? I'm just saying WHAT IF.....

But Dillon is mentally tough. Even though Moss has had a history of quitting on his teams, he nonetheless has some decent mental toughness in him.

Pt being that LJ is MENTALLY WEAK...VERY. He wouldn't even last 5 minutes with BB's staff, let along with guys like Teddy and Vince on the team.

Maybe thats what he needs, i mean when was the last time KC had a winning record. And most thought that we made a deal with the devil when we traded for Randy Moss

I don't see why we shouldn't give it a shot... especially with Morris hurt for God knows how long. If he came here cheap, I would welcome him with open arms. And based on what Moss said about the trade and his first Patriots meeting with Belichick staring a hole through him talking about how "nobody is bigger than the team", I could easily see LJ working out here.

Another consideration: would we even get a shot at him? He'd have to go through waivers, and anyone with a worse record than us would get a chance first.

The Chiefs would have to eat the rest of the 19M guaranteed, and I don't know what his salary is for this season but it's probably pretty cheap. So it's probably an attractive pickup for anyone with RB injuries, if only for the rest of the season.

With that much guaranteed left on the cap, if I were the owner I'd tell Petersen and Edwards they have to keep Johnson, this is the easy way out to shift blame.

There was this ONE play that made the Steelers Super Bowl Champs in '06...you wanna know what it was? OK-here goes...

Wk14 matchup Chiefs@Cowboys-KC is up 14-10 late in the 1st half and is threatening in the redzone. Cowboys call a blitz on the outside with Scott Fujita...IF LJ makes a half *** attempt on his block on him, then Trent Green has all day in the world to find an open receiver for a TD(which he had all game).

But he did not-result? Fujita forces a fumble, the Cowboys make a long return, and Bledsoe subsequently throws a TD to Witten to take a 17-14 halftime lead. Otherwise, it SHOULD have been 21-10 Chiefs at the half, and they would have cruised from there(Dallas' first TD in that half was a flea-flicker).

KC unded up losing b/c they missed a game-tieing FG. However-if LJ's head was out of his *** on that ONE play, the Chiefs would have cruised to victory, as Dallas' confidence seemed to be shot UNTIL that momentum-turning play. The Chiefs O was just waxing them up and down the field.

Pt being that otherwise, the Chiefs would have been 11-5, would have owned the tiebreaker with Pitt, and would have gotten that last WC spot instead. Ultimately, we would have had another SB Champ that year.

Anyhow-since that very play...reports came out that LJ just *hates* to block b/c he's pretty much a ball hog who wants more touches. Since then, the KC coaches just took him out of passing situations and let another RB make the blitz pickups et al.

So no-he's probably not a BB team guy.

Says here the cap hit for this year is $5,656,190
Kansas-City-Chiefs Salaries | Kansas-City-Chiefs Player Salaries | 2008 Kansas-City-Chiefs Salary

I just can't see this ever happening, Moss or Dillon weren't constantly being charged with Domestic stuff against women like LJ.

IIRC Peters(?) was cut before he even stepped on the field for the Pats for similar stuff wasn't he?

Pass rush? Uneccessary when you have 72 CBS playing.
Lbs? What for, we have no pass rush, they gonna chuck it at our lousy CBS...all 72 of them bums

Are you serious?? That was two years ago...a lot can change over in two year and besides i can compare LJ's situation to Moss's, in oakland, all day...most people were saying that Moss shows lack of blocking but look at him now...on both 34 and 29 yard runs by Morris, Moss played a very big part by BLOCKING...but to sum it all up I think that if LJ was to come in and take in the BB humble pie then he will get his act together
