"He will take over the running back position," Vermeil said. "That's what I think. He'll push that guy right out of a job. Larry Johnson will work all week - he'll work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday - and he'll make you start him on Sundays."

Elizabeth Merrill, of the Kansas City Star, reports former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Dick Vermeil has taken exception to critics who feel current head coach Herman Edwards is too conservative offensively. "The system's the same," Vermeil said. "I don't think they're not trying to score, you know? I know the coaches. I've talked with them. They've had some pass protection problems, and that limits you some. And sometimes there's a little different approach to using the same scheme. But I think they'll hit a happy medium, a very pleasant medium with the offense. It'll be very efficient."

And I think someone, one of these so-called geniuses in the National Football League, is going to recognize that. We've got a lot of guys in positions that are scary."
