Larry Johnson, RB, Kansas City. Most of us geniuses in the media wrote off Johnson last year, and even last summer. But here's the most interesting thing the 28-year-old Johnson told me after the game: "Nothing hurts.'' His 28-carry, 198-yard, two-touchdown performance was indicative of a couple of things. One: He has his power and quickness back after 2007 knee surgery. Two: He was running against Denver. "People everywhere doubted I still have it,'' he said. "But I do.'' We see.

LJ did have knee surgery instead of a bum foot . That makes Herm the dumb ass!

I was wondering
If they masked the true injury even more than we all thought.

It would not
surprise me, but I think it’s Peter King being the D.A.

Confusion
Larry Johnson had knee surgery in Peter King’s Madden NFL 08 Franchise – this is why he was confused.

There is no
Knee surgery conspiracy, Peter King is a F***ing idiot.

I wonder
if Peter King was actually interviewing the Madden LJ?

He probably read it from Teicher
Thanks to Teicher, there is more misinformation on Larry Johnson than any other player. Remember the whole “The Chiefs will be taking LJ out in the red zone” nonsense? Herm never once said anything like that, LJ never said anything like that, and there were two games where Charles was in during the red zone drive because it was a passing situation playing catchup. The one run we had inside the red zone in the first two games was LJ.
But I’m not complaining, because ESPN picked up what Teicher said and reported in the LJ fantasy blurb after he put up 2.2 points against OAK. That made any non-Chiefs fan ready to dump LJ for something really cheap. I picked him up via trade before Week 3 and now he looks like arguably the best RB in the NFL, certainly the best over the last 2 weeks.

Why would anything hurt
He really only got tackled hard three times in the game, otherwise he basically ran where he wanted to.

You're not bitter and sarcastic
After just one loss now are you, Broncoman? : ^ )
You’re a fun guy to come around and comment after that setback. — grin —

There is no knee surgury onlyZuul.
I’m surprised Peter King could pull his face away from Bret Favre’s crotch long enough to write an article.

Boo...
I like Peter King…alot…
But he does seem to be high on information on just half the teams…the others he is pretty oblivious about…

Better play calling on runs
I thought the play calling on runs was much better this week— much less running LJ right up the middle, more off tackle plays where he would have room to cut back when the hole wasn’t where it was supposed to be. Those are the kinds of plays that LJ can use his vision on and make a big play when there is no hole where there should be.
Let’s see more of that, please, and fewer dives right up the middle with LJ.

Yes, the play-action pass off of LJ
also worked, they did not know if ot was a pass or run when LJ was in there.
