If he gets 3/4 of his '09 production with Kansas City, I'd be shocked.

You really think San Diego has the worst run blocking line in the league? I think LT had a lot to do with the lack of production in the running game.
TJ is about to go over 10k yards this year and has averaged 4 ypg for a career- a career that started with one of the worst teams in the league. I think TJ is more than just a product of the line although I do agree that the Jets line certainly didnt hurt.
