Re: willie roaf reitres
I haven't been high on LJ anyway. He already lost his fullback, and their passing game isn't getting any better."It is better to be divided by truth than to be united by error." -- Martin Luther

Re: willie roaf retires
the chiefs have a good line coach and good back ups.. roaf missed a ton of time last season and johnson still had 1700 yards in 9 games.
pretty sure he wont have any problem reaching 1700 in 16."All hockey players are bilingual. They know English and profanity." ~ Gordie Howe

Re: willie roaf retires
Uh, Roaf started all but 2 of those games (that LJ started) and they were against 2 of the worst defenses in the NFL (Buffalo and Houston) while Welbourn started all but 1 of those games (Miami) and LJ didn't break 100 (he got 93). Heck I'll even throw-in the Oakland game in which LJ technically wasn't the starter but got the majority of the carries, and Roaf missed that one as well. Neither were out at the same time and Jordan Black was the replacement in each of those games.
LJ just might find it a little harder to run this year. And the rest of the line isn't exactly young either.

Re: willie roaf retires
I would think having the best G's and a pretty good C will mean more running up the middle, Roaf looked old and slow last year and Welbourn was never really nothing that special he usually was reffered to as the weak link on that line, I think KC will be fine just younger and Black got alot of experience last year filling in for Roaf and did a good job while in there

Re: willie roaf retires
It's a tangent of the main topic, which is that losing Roaf and Welbourn means Trent Green is gonna get killed. But it will have an effect on LJ's performance. He's still a great RB, but even great RB's need an O-line, and the Chefs have had one of the best for years now.
