Excuse me, Mr. Johnson? You do know you have a black head coach now, don't you?

Arkcity.net: Larry Johnson: Chiefs are too predictable
Kansas City, Missouri - Larry Johnson's theory for what ails Kansas City's offense may land him in the doghouse with his coaches, and probably some of his teammates, as well.

The outspoken running back says the Chiefs have become too predictable and need to vary their play-calling.

''When you do the same things over and over again, a good defense ... they're going to do things to stop you,'' Johnson said after LaDainian Tomlinson and the San Diego Chargers handed the Chiefs (7-7) a 20-9 whipping that virtually eliminated Kansas City from playoff contention.

''If you don't switch it up, if you don't do different things, that's how it goes,'' said Johnson. ''We played them a lot of weeks ago, and they see what we do on tape, you know, we never changed a bit of it, and that's what happens.''
