Chiefs Jackie Battle

Jimhoopie · 08-31-2011, 09:55 PM

I'm just not seeing why this guy has been around this long. I would love to see the Chiefs find a young power back. Last year they could have had Blount but stuck with Battle. This year someone like John Clay would have been a nice undrafted pick up. Heck just about every back I've watched this pre season league wide looks like they have more than Battle. He can't be that good on special teams.

Battle definitely needs to go, everybody except the coaches know this.

In the Bucs game he reminded me of Larry Johnson right before we cut him. It seemed like he was really really slow getting to the line and went down as soon as he got there.

He's basically around so we don't have to give Cassel, Jones, McCluster, or McClain any carries late in these preseason games.

I've wanted to like this guy for a few years and he just isn't any good....reminds me of Brodie.

Jackie Battle would better this team and probably all of professional football if he would simply hurl himself off the tallest edifice in KC, MO.

Stay classy.

Special Teams, simple as that. There are four ball carriers ahead of him on the roster, so it's not as if he's ever going to be asked to contribute as a running back.

**Buehler445** · 08-31-2011, 10:24 PM

I've been in his corner for a long time. Since LJ was here.

He hasn't improved and has fumbled WAY too much. Gotta go.

**TrebMaxx** · 08-31-2011, 10:26 PM

His time in K.C. is nearly done.

He's not worth a squirt of piss on this team!

**TimeForWasp** · 08-31-2011, 11:46 PM

I like Battle, but if he is gone, it's a sign we are getting better and the other backs are better. progress.

I'm just saying that we haven't really brought anyone in to compete with him. Outside of Charles and maybe McClain I don't like our backs. I would like to see a young guy competing with Jones for playing time. Preferably a power runner which this team desperately lacked last year.
