Charles was hurt in the same game for about the 30th time counting his shoulder issues

JC has more wiggle in his pinkie toe than Knile does in his whole body.

But I like to see the confidence, and Knile brings his own dynamic to the fold... a 230 pound guy with his straight line speed and catch ability is the perfect backup for JC.

We have the best 1-2 backfield punch in the NFL, IMO.

I wonder what JC 's yards per carry were his first two years behind LJ ?

5.3 and 5.9

Charles is one of a kind, he can't be replaced.

Charles ran a 4.38 at the combine
Davis ran a 4.37 at the combine

Change of pace back

Regardless of speed, Knile Davis, with 25 lbs on Charles, should be a change of pace.

At 230 lbs, when there isn't a seam, he's a guy that should be punishing tacklers.

He isn't as quick, and he doesn't have the vision or burst that Charles has, so he needs to be using the physical tools he has that Charles doesn't.

In short yardage you take the first hole no matter what the play calls for

If he has improved his skills as a pass catcher this year he will be a great weapon....

This isn't the same situation or play call by any means, but here's the difference between the vision and shiftiness of JC and Davis. Jamaal makes 7 yards out of absolutely nothing here. He's really made a career of these types of runs.

Great gif, goes half the field one way and comes back another third of it for seven yards, ducking under people as he goes.

Thomas has sooo many of those same instincts/skills... just .cant .wait

Knile needs more carries? :shrug:

Very impressed with Sherman's block on the MLB #53....

Bring it. Love what he is saying. Everyone would have laughed when JC said that after LJs record breaking season. We have a knack for spotting awesome RB's.

Im glad thats the case now because it sure didn't used to br. I remember all those RBBC YEARS. Used to piss me off to no end.

I hope he's not wanting a big contract. I think he can easily start for a lot of teams out there. He reminds me of Eddie Lacy though. I love this guy.

He was already making his cut when Kelce whiffed. Bottom line is, if Kelce gets an average block, that's a first down and then more. If Kelce gets a good block, that's a touchdown. Youre expecting him to ditch the play call basically as soon as he gets the ball. Even Jamaal doesn't do that.

Jamaal Charles is generational talent. All time great.

Knile Davis is Knile Davis. That is the gap.

Hell yeah, stays with him 10 or so yards downfield.

Exactly. Look at the gif of Jamaal. He did the same thing as Knile, but he got his blocks to the outside...but the initial hole was there if he decided to forego his blocking and the playcall to shoot upfield.

He followed his blocks and has to squirm for 7 yards.

Kelce didn't whiff until Davis made his cut to the outside. We can nitpick on a looped video, we had to watch three times before we decided who's at fault, when in game time you have a millisecond to make a choice. Don't act as if he would've taken the hole you want, and Kelce actually sealed the edge, that Andy wouldn't have benched his ass immediately for not following the script.

Tough call to make in that fraction of a second; when in doubt, do what the coaches ask you to do.

Crazy same play as davis but Jamal follows the counter outside, but like the davis play, there is a hole straight ahead behind hudson.

If he runs straight ahead behind hudson from the snap he's 1 on 1 with a safety, but that's not where the design is

THIS

Thats what true best fullback in the league does. :thumb: Jamaal is great...but he's greater with Sherman than he would be without him.

As I said, Jamaal's play was in a different situation. 2nd and 8. If it were 3rd and 1 I'd expect Jamaal to hit the first hole he saw.

In Knile's situation, all we needed was 1 yard. You don't try to dance around and bounce it outside in those situations.

He didn't dance or bounce it outside. He did what he was supposed to do. And if Kelce did what he was supposed to do, that's an easy first down and maybe even TD given Davis' speed.

He was dancing like he was Lesean McCoy. Look at his feet shuffling and his head bobbing. He tried to bounce it outside but failed.

I'm saying, in that situation, he needed to cut upfield instead of trying to bounce out. Had he cut upfield and extended himself on the way down, he could have been close to the marker. There's still a chance he wouldn't have made it with Hudson not being able to get on his man but it would have been a lot more intelligent play, situationally, had he cut upfield instead.

Very impressive

Charles is truly impressive with that stat.. wow.

Now give charles the Cowboy's line...

Here's his chance to prove it. Does anyone know why Kniles has barely played this year even as backup to Charles? Does he suck that much?

Dyson has filed 5 patents on him.

ROFL

No shit - that's how Charcandrick West passes you on the depth chart.

He used to be so good back when he started those games when Charles was injured in previous seasons. Hard to believe he lost all his talent just like that.

What the **** are you talking about?? Only game I'm aware of Davis starting over Charles was the last game of 2013 Reg season when the refs handed the game to SD in order to screw Pittsburgh for some reason.

Other than that, no starts.

Oh, btw...Davis has always been a poor man's Larry Johnson.

**** him.

Davis will never be more than a #2 or committee back.

I'm more excited to see West.

Wow. That stat is incredible considering how low-rent the Chiefs offensive line has been. And that's not some recent current event that's the reality Charles has dealt with his entire career. Can't see any reason why he shouldn't be a first round ballot HOF'er but because he played for a small market team that never won a playoff game they'll give the HOF nod to Adrian Peterson instead.

Another small market back whose only playoff win came with Favre at QB in 2011??

He started week 3 of 2014 against the Dolphins. He had 2 TDs, IIRC.

Charles s better even with two ACL tears.

Yeah, but you've got to realize, Rabblerouser is a moron.

Played well against the Broncos in Denver too, but I get your point.

Knile has shown multiple times that he can be an effective even if unspectacular back when he gets carries. He and west will be fine. They won't be the reason we lose games.

That, ladies and gentlemen is funny. Really funny.
