The Chiefs are 0-3 for the second straight season after starting 0-2 the previous two years. So Larry Johnson has seen a lot of recent September defeats. This year is different, Johnson said, because the recent flurry of player moves indicates the Chiefs are serious about improving. “The last couple (of years), nobody would do anything about it,” Johnson said. “I swear I was just sitting next to Monty Beisel, and I’m not sitting next to him anymore. There were a lot of guys I was sitting next to, seen, said hi to and they’re not here any more. “They’re dedicated to always making this team better day in and day out. You always see this team changing. This from my perspective is the first time I’ve actually seen them try to do something about it right now rather than wait until the draft or whatever.” Johnson said the player moves have most of the Chiefs scared for their jobs, another novelty. “Most guys never had that fear,” Johnson said. “I’d see on guys’ faces: ‘Oh, I’m going to be here. I’ll just ride it out.’ When (Dick) Vermeil was here, I would see guys real, real comfortable. I wish I could be that comfortable. “I know I’m not comfortable. My reputation is on the line as far as being with this team. I have to prove myself day in and day out.”
