Chiefs Crowd argues that rookie running back Emmett Johnson should earn a larger offensive role following Kansas City's 28-24 defeat against Denver.

Chiefs Crowd contends that integrating Johnson on early downs and as a receiver will ease Walker's workload without making offensive personnel packages predictable.
