Larry Johnson and "fast" Willie Parker may not make team

(Rotoworld) It wouldn't be "shocking" if Larry Johnson and Willie Parker were both released before the start of the season, according to Jason Reid of the Washington Post. Analysis: Parker has shown little since signing, and Johnson could be done in by his poor pass protection in last week's game. Running backs play a big role in Shanahan's max protect schemes, and he won't risk his quarterback's health if a back can't pick up a blitz. Clinton Portis is perhaps the best in the league at pass blocking. Ryan Torain and Keiland Williams could end up as Portis' backups instead of Johnson.

And last week there was a story saying that Johnson might be the starter for the Redskins. These stories can be mighty confusing at times.

All part of the mind games Shanny plays.

Every story I read last week talked about how Shanny has always loved Larry Johnson. Ya think that he only now discovered that Larry was a weak pass blocker?

We will never know what's going on with Shanny RBs

There are so many conflicting reports you can't make sense of them. I just read a report that said Torain has fallen behind LJ and Parker.
