LJ is AFC Offensive Player of the Week...again

JOHNSON CLAIMS AFC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS AGAIN Dec 28, 2005, 8:33:02 AM The National Football League informed the Chiefs on Wednesday that RB Larry Johnson has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for his performance vs. San Diego (12/24). It marks the second time Johnson has been selected for the award this season. He also earned the honor after setting a single-game franchise record with 211 rushing yards at Houston (11/20). Johnson is the first Chiefs player to be named AFC Offensive Player of the Week twice in one season since RB Priest Holmes accomplished the feat in 2001. In addition, Johnson was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month in November. Johnson (6-1, 230) carried the ball 32 times for 131 yards with one TD in Kansas City’s 20-7 win vs. San Diego (12/24). The third-year back also hauled in four receptions for 48 yards, including an impressive 28-yard TD reception. Despite wet and muddy conditions at Arrowhead, Johnson finished the game with 179 yards of total offense and extended his franchise record with his eighth consecutive 100-yard rushing game. Named to his initial Pro Bowl this season, Johnson owns 1,549 rushing yards on the season, leading the AFC and ranking third in the NFL. That rushing yardage total currently ranks as the third-best single-season tally in Kansas City history. He needs just 67 more yards to break the Chiefs record of 1,615 yards established by Holmes in 2002. Over his last eight games, Johnson has produced 235 carries for 1,150 yards (143.8 ypg) and 13 TDs. His 1,150 rushing yards and 1,405 yards from scrimmage are both the highest totals in the NFL since November 1st. Meanwhile, only Seattle RB Shaun Alexander (27) owns more rushing TDs than Johnson (17) and San Diego RB LaDainian Tomlinson (17) over the entire season. Johnson has averaged a remarkable 143.8 rushing ypg in eight starts this season. Projected over an entire 16-game schedule, those numbers would translate into 2,300 rushing yards or 195 yards more than the NFL single-season record of 2,105 established by Hall of Fame RB Eric Dickerson with the L.A. Rams in ‘84. Johnson is in his third season with the Chiefs after joining the club as a first-round selection out of Penn State in the 2003 NFL Draft. |

We have to squeeze everything out of him while we can. RB is one of the easiest positions to find. If he breaks down we'll get someone else. |

And some folks doubt they we could get at least a number one in a trade? I think he will sign a big extension before next year. Or they might fuck with him to piss him off even more. Maybe DV can make another diapers comment before the Bangles game and he will break the rushing record for a single game??
