Can Larry Johnson Duplicate His 2005 Numbers?

Larry Johnson rushed for 1,750 yards last season, but how will he do in 2006 running behind a declining Chiefs offensive line?

Interesting how the O-line, at one time the league's best, is drifting backward, to the average-to-above-average level. The tackles are sub-par, now that Willie Roaf has retired. LG Waters is very good, but RG Shields, although still effective, is starting to see the end of the trail. Center Wiegmann, at 33, is taking on the aspect of a little guy fighting for his life. Edge rushing must be supplied by the second tight end, the demon blocker, Jason Dunn, and when he's in there it tells the defense, well, there's at least one receiver we don't have to cover.
