RB coach: 'hard to take' Walker out, Johnson to 'get more opportunities'

Chiefs RB coach DeMarco Murray said Thursday that RB Ken Walker III "likes the ball a lot and I like giving it to him," but acknowledged rookie RB Emmett Johnson will see more work heading into the Week 3 game against the Dolphins. "Obviously, I want Kenneth to get into a groove and, as you guys have seen these first two games, it's hard to kind of take him out," Murray said. "But Emmett's done a great job and he's still learning. He'll continue to get more opportunities. I've just got to pull the trigger and get No. 9 out of there and put No. 10 in there."
