Thoughts on Larry Johnson? KC people a little help please

Anyone with some insite on this guys status?


We all know he's gonna suit up and play, but to what extent? Will it be a 50/50 with Bennett, will he even start after holding out all camp or do they bring him in.

Hell, is he really game ready or is this more of a "LT doesnt play preseason, so LJ sitting out is not a big deal"

Sep 9 Coach Herm Edwards would like to get Johnson more involved in the passing game, the Chiefs' official web site reports.

Recommendation: Johnson said he would like to get more looks as a receiver - not just dump-offs but passes 10-15 yards downfield - and Edwards agreed. "Yeah, yeah," Edwards replied when asked about the possibility. "We?d like to get him the ball on the perimeter; we?d like to get him the ball in space; we?d like to get him the ball period." Johnson ran roughshod over Houston's defense the last time they played, toting the rock 36 times for a franchise-record 211 yards. He won't approach those numbers Sunday, but you should have no qualms about starting him against a below-average Texans defense.

I think he will have a touchdown at least, and from the sounds of it a lot more receptions

LJ willl get a full load today. Chiefs get back two of their key run blockers today in J Dunn and McIntosh. I see a very conservative game plan by Herm. Herm will put that young unproven front 7 of Houston to the test early and often. LJ trained hard during his holdout and I dont buy any of this he's not ready to play stuff.
