Three things stand out to me for Johnson, he doesn't have the quickness to make a cut like he once did, and he can't pick up his feet when he does get an opening. I'm also finding that he can't break tackles anymore either as soon as someone gets a hand on him, he's down. There is some poor play by the offensive line, but it seems like every time they try to run between the tackles they might as well just line up for 2nd and 11. They say he's a power runner...at this point I think he might be better off running in a spread style offence like Chan Galey was running last year where he's not trying to grind it out for 4 yards a carry.
At least the team has finally found a kicker! Give Pioli credit for that one, ha ha. Dummy King Carl never could. The more I think about it, the more I hate that guy..since Schottenheimer's time ran out and he left the Chiefs have been terrible with one set of back to back winning seasons and only one legitimate playoff apperance, the 9-7 Wild Card year they only made it because they got to beat the crap out of a terrible NFC West that year. Peterson is largely responsible for the mess the team is now. 100% him in terms of the lack of talent I say. If he'd have left when Vermeil did...Guys like Jared Allen and Tony Gonzalez might still be Chiefs.
