"Now that former Chiefs and Bengals RB Larry Johnson is in Washington under Mike Shanahan, is there a plan for the Redskins backfield?

This past week, I questioned the idea of bringing a player like L.J. over to Washington mainly due to his running style and the offensive system he is coming into. Johnson is a straight up and down runner, and when you have a player like that who is older, and on the downside of his career, it almost becomes target practice for safeties coming down as an eighth defender or a linebacker running through the hole.

And, in Shanahan's system, will Johnson be able to generate enough quickness with his first step and get his shoulder pads squared to the line of scrimmage in the inside and outside zone running scheme?"
