I don't get how you can bash Knowshon when he plays his butt off every snap. It's not like he is some sort of locker room cancer or that the coaching staff is being stubborn about playing him (i.e. Cassel). He didn't live up to the 1st round pick but he is still a good player to have on the team.

You can have unconditional love and admiration for your children, but not for football players. The kid is a nice guy, I'm sure. Yeah, he's trying hard, but he's not someone I trust in that lineup and I don't have to pretend that I do.
He was admirable in his first call of duty back in the lineup against a bad KC team and was about average against a good Tampa rush defense. Moreno loves KC though, in nearly 3 years worth of starts, his only 2 games to top 100 yds rushing have come against KC.
I'm not one of those that hands out a participation trophy when they do ok... that won't cut it when it matters most and neither will he.
Now, regarding the piece in bold red italics... they went out and signed McGahee and drafted Hillman, pushing him down the depth chart and into oblivion until injuries brought him out of the doghouse.
