The Facts: While Johnson and the power running game are still central to their plans, the Chiefs are hoping to diversify by giving more work to backup Michael Bennett and perhaps a third back they would add in next month's draft. "You don't want to make one guy run the ball 400 times," Herm Edwards said.

Diehards Line:It should be noted that Edwards has been making similar statements since the season ended. Meanwhile, Star staffer Adam Teicher reports that Johnson, who carried an NFL-record 416 times in the regular season last year and another 13 times in the playoff loss to Indianapolis, is preparing as if nothing will change. His is participating in a conditioning program designed by Joe Carini, whose personal training clients have also included former Giant Tiki Barber.
