No im not talking about Monty Beisel, or Succup or even our favorite little mini Holmes at RB.

Im talking about Larry Johnson, we have to pull for the guy. Yes, he had some obvious slipups, runins, and issues. Yes, he's said he dosen't wanna be in KC in the past, and was way to talkative in interviews.

The reason we have to pull for him is that he's had 2 years of not alot of carries so the wear and tear from that 06/07 season isnt there anymore. The fact that he's not talking in interviews and when he does its a team concept not an LJ concept.

He's helping out in the KC community with different charity events with other team mates and with his own causes. He's trimmed down some and that will pay dividends once the season comes around. He's been working on his hands and blocking.

He's doing all the things a coach asks him to do and that is showing some leadership, the kind that this team needs, not the outspoken kind but the look at me and follow what im doing kind of leadership that will make Jamal Charles a gamer for 5 to 8 seasons to come.

So yes I cant help but pull for him. What about you?
