Larry Johnson Having Worst Season In NFL History for a Running Back

Trust me. You won't believe this one.
Of all the things that have been said about Gay-Gate (Gayte?), it's interesting to note that not much has been made about how ridiculously one-sided things already were in Johnson's favor before anything ever started in the first place. In fact, some of the facts below only make Johnson look even worse - if that's even remotely possible.
As if things couldn't get ridiculous enough, the reality is that the Chiefs were already helping Johnson look bad for playing him so much in the first place. And that's what is so surprising about Johnson's anger toward his coach and his playing situation overall. Consider the following: Larry Johnson is FOURTH in Rushing Attempts in the National Football League. Only 15 backs in the NFL have 100 carries or more on the season and LJ has 132 - behind only Cedric Benson, Steven Jackson and Adrian Peterson.
So what about production. Here's where things get really zany. LJ is averaging 2.7 yards/average. That's not pedestrian. That's not even bad. That's historically bad. In this year alone, it's so far below the next worst (Steve Slaton at 3.13) starting back that it's laughable. But it's when you zoom the lens back where things get really... well, you decide.
If you want the clincher, here's the historical perspective... if you project out LJ's stats to an entire NFL season, it would be the single worst season by a running back in NFL history. Johnson already has 132 carries and was on track for 302. With the suspension, that obviously won't happen and he might not run any more this year. But consider this, no running back has ever, EVER averaged 2.7 yards per carry as a starting running back in the NFL. Only Jonathan Wells of the 2002 Houston Texans averaged worse than Johnson and that was splitting time with James Allen that season - as both backs finished with just over 500 yards.
Think about this for a second. With his yardage and production, LJ should be fourth in rushing attempts in the AFC West. But it's not. It's not even the AFC in general. We're talking about the entire NFL. Somehow amid arguably the worst rushing season in National Football League history, Todd Haley & Co. keep running the same guy out there, giving him his precious carries. Of course, that reflects poorly on them as well, but that's another post entirely. Back to the matter at hand.
How does a guy compiling such a historically poor season complain about a coach who continues to provide him opportunities one after the other - to the tune of being a top four back in the NFL? It makes no sense. If anything, it only shows LJ is so far out of touch with reality that any rational response shouldn't even be expected. I don't know if there's an "insanity" plea in the NFL offices as there are in courtrooms across America, but I, for one, would absolutely accept such an argument.
As for the coaching staff, that's another thing.

They definitely were giving LJ every
opportunity to succeed & perhaps that is where his frustration was coming from because he just couldn’t get it done without the horses up front that we used to have. Things aren’t as easy now as what they once were.

Every chance to FAIL, more like.
Still would’ve liked to’ve seen them try runnin’ ‘im wide more often, loosenin’ things up in the middle, before slammin’ ‘im up the gut 5 or 6 times. In AZ, that’s a good strategy for sellin’ the playfake, but ya gotta be able to stop the run blitz up the gut, or the play fake just ensures that the QB’s back is to the pattern during the half-second he has to throw…
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

yep, look at Benson and how he struggled behind Bears OL
and now he looks great because the offense is respectable.

And what was the most carries he’s ever had in a single season?

With OL in flux, some stability at RB might've been the theory.
To test the effect of one variable, it’s common scientific practice to hold all other variables constant.

I've been...
pro Haley all the way and this story does make me raise my eyebrows. Haley is either stubborn or incompetent. I’m going the former. He was trying to force a point to see if the players were at task. At this point its safe to say that we have the worst run blocking offensive line in the NFL. Haley better make some changes after the bye week Honestly, if this team just had a running game I bet you it would take more off Cassel’s back than time in the pocket. The 2nd part of the season is going to be crucial for Haley’s judgment. Does the team improve or do we stay equally bad if not worse.

I concur Matt and Up...
I wanted to comment on the same sentence…“keep running the same guy out there”. This again is what I have been harping on all season LONG!!
Even this morning all the analysts on NFL network were discussing McDaniels in Denver and the AMAZING job he’s done over there of designing smart efficient play calling that put his players in a position to win.
They pointed out what I been screaming..“McDaniels has done a great job of designing plays that accomodate the level of talent”..ya da ya day..you get the point. They were discussing Kyle Orton and how although not the most talented guy, his coach has built plays for him that cater to his lack of talent at the QB position.
Why do we continually design plays around players that CANNOT perform because they are out talented??? Our O line is VERY obviously a MAJOR weak spot. So why a QB sneak? Why run LJ over and over and over?? The other team knows we can’t run by now. Who we tryin’ to fool out there? Cuz it ain’t workin’.
I know I know Haley needs time to learn as well. But ONCE AGAIN, like always it’s at our expense as fans. We feel bad for the players but really, after a loss, they get to go back to their mansions and sleep with their herum of hot babes and have their chefs prep them a gourmet meal. We don’t. So I feel sorry for us.

couple of points
1. Many of us are “one up” on McDaniels because we can drink and he can’t yet!
2. “plays for him that cater to his lack of talent” I dunno, just loved this quote.
3. I want a harem.
4. You play to win the game.

Serious question
Do the bajillion times the Chiefs have run draws and delayed handoffs that get blown up immediately before they go anywhere count as runs up the gut as far as those statistics go? Because that could skew things a little. And really we shouldn’t have been running those types of plays with LJ so much. LJ has not played well, but the playcalling was not playing to his few remaining strengths.

It's the standard response to outmatched O-Line.
I personally don’t like it. I prefer to just go big (extra TE or T) and at least wear out the opposing d-line by making them pursue to the edge, even if it doesn’t pay right away. Slam a FB or TWO into the middle, to give your guard a chance to pull, when the guards are outmatched head-to-head by the D-Line.

That's something I've been wondering about

As bad as our TE’s seem to be at blocking, why don’t they throw an extra offensive lineman out there instead? I’ve seen other teams do it in non-goal line situations.

Charles got most of his yards from us running him on 3rd and 20
When the defense is sitting with 3 down lineman and in prevent. I’m not saying he wouldn’t be more productive then LJ. But, you can’t just compare yards/carry. You have to look at the situation in which they have gained their yards.

Defenses dont key on the run
when Charles is in there. When the torches and pitchforks come out just stay out of the way. There isn’t a such thing as reason…

AGREED but it does not matter what plays you call when you can't block for 2-3 seconds. The OL is why we are 1-6.

amassed by running draws on 3rd and 12. Not a valid stat.
I’m not sayin’ I haven’t wanted to see more burst and maybe even some breakaway speed at RB not to mention all-around play, but Charles’s average is mostly on 3rd-and-futile.

True.
He always was one dimensional. Hit the hole (when there were holes to hit) make a single cut and run straight ahead beyond that. He was never strong at blocking, going to the outside, or catching out of the backfield.

This is what I said as a few weeks ago...
He gets touched he goes down! 5 years ago that would absolutely not have not happened with Larry. Sorry, But I have been down on Larry Johnson for about three years now. He has been part of the problem for quite a while. I know he is very gracious to fans (he stayed late after practice in River Falls for my niece to get very nice picture taken with him!) but his “on field” performance has declined to the point I cringe every time he touches the ball. It is (past) time for a change at running back for the Chiefs. ANYONE we have on the roster (or could find out “on the street”) would be an improvement at RB!!! I even believe that Larry is a big part of why our line looks so bad. The opposing defenses don’t even have to concern themselves with a running attack because Larry won’t run hard/goes down easy and can completely focus on the pass. We are one dimentional on offence with Larry playing!

2 reasons
1) His bad plays have at times been matched by his good plays – led the team in receptions for awhile, made some good catches.
2) Yes, I know we don’t have much at RB, but boy the rest of the TE pool really stinks! he wasn’t handed the starting position but rose to the top of an admittedly stinky pile.
