Ignoring his tasteless comments to the fans, Herm Edwards is out of his mind. There is no way he should bring Larry Johnson back this year. I'm all for finishing the season strong and playing with pride, but Larry is the KC franchise right now. Will two victories at Detroit and at the Jets make any difference? I doubt it, but it will negatively affect the Chiefs' draft status. Now I'm not saying they should throw the game NBA-style, but Kolby Smith will suffice as the starting RB until next year. No one really knows what's wrong with Shaun Alexander, but some would point back to a foot injury he played on a couple years ago.
With Brodie Croyle the heir apparent at QB, the Chiefs need a strong running game to protect him (see Jackson, Tarvaris). That strong running game is Larry Johnson. Save him and protect him for next year. The only reason to bring him back is to make Herm and the season's record look better.

I'm thinking a quick inspection of LJ's contract would shed some light on this. He might have some incentives that he badly wants to realize this year.
Huh? I missed what Shaun Alexander have to do with Kansas City. What is the connection?
has not have
geesh, I must be tired.
I'm guessing this is what Russell meant:
Shaun Alexander had a foot injury a while back, and hasn't been the same since. Larry Johnson has a foot injury, so you want to be cautious bringing him back.
That makes sense now. Did he change it? I think it reads differently.
Thank you, Brien. That is what I meant.
