Nick Wright: Chiefs in danger of "losing" Charles

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

getnickwright The #Chiefs are bordering on losing Jamaal Charles... which could lose them the lockerroom... I have the story... I'll explain at 2 sharp

It all begins and ends with the suckage of Cassel. It wouldn't matter if JC is getting 25 carries, as long as #7 is behind center it won't make a difference.

It is shit that Cassel is held to a lower standard among the Front OFfice. It sucks that we will have to loose a few and him be terrible to make a change.

Apparently DJ couldn't understand the 4-3 either because they played him all over the place.

DJ has had some personal issues over the years, which I believe contributed to his lack of success and focus on the football field.

The Chiefs haven't had a defensive coordinator or staff worth a ****ing shit since 1991, which I believe also hurt his growth.

As for motivation, while every player is different, I don't think it comes from being benched, called out and yelled at routinely.

I think it comes from structure and support, something the defense has been sorely lacking since Marty left.

Yeah I just don't understand the Charles dilemma.

The organization talked about getting playmakers and we have a top end playmaker and we don't get him the ball. Actually we have a couple on offense who need touches to be effective.

On a side not Bowe has looked very comfy catching the ball this season so far. I think he actually is making that step to the next level.

Nah we can't talk about how the team is 2-0 with a real possibility of being 3-0 heading into their bye week...we have to stir shit.

Sports radio in K.C. is such a ****ing joke.

You should see how it is in Chicago and LA... and I can't even imagine how NY media is

[Frazod]

Haley seems to have a bit LaRussa in him - playing lessor favorites and alienating young talent for some reason known only for him.

[Shogun]

Jamaal is happy right now, I just got off the phone with him.

Chambers should have been reamed for that.

Still think it's game situations and quarterback play so far, primarily, injuries and fumbling secondarily. Should he touch the ball more over the course of the season? Definitely. But when they're not sustaining drives because the QB is missing receivers, when they're playing conservatively because of a big lead in bad weather, and when they're in a close game on the road where they've already thrown picks, they're in situations that would lean towards more carries for Jones.

And it's a *two week* sliver of the season. It's a hair early to go into panic mode over it.

How does "not sustaining drives" favor Jones? Wouldn't it be just the opposite? If you're having trouble moving the chains, it's even more imperative to give the ball to your best back early so that he can help the offense get in rhythm.

There are still some some huge flashing red lights to this situation regardless of any circumstance.

Jamaal was the 2nd best back in the league behind CJ once he got the start last year. He works hard. He's motivated. There's no reason to treat him like this?

Guy should be starting and getting more touches. He's earned it. Meanwhile, we have a QB who continually gets a pass. He hasn't earned his spot.

How do you think that looks?

I sure hope we are missing something here. Because I swear to god if I were in JC's position and I was being basically demoted after a great production last season, I would revolt to say the least. **** taking one for the team.

[Shogun]

Jamaal has 22 carries while having 1 TD and an extremely great 53 yard TD. 144 yards.

Jones has 33 carries and had an awesome game @ cleveland and really pulled through. 120 yards.

Jamaal should be getting the majority of the carries and its clear who is more productive so far. But would people stop bitching and realise we have 2 of the best RB's in the league and its not like we are giving Jamaal 2 carries and Jones 50?

No doubt.

However, Cassel should have been too.

According to the players that contacted Wright about JC, he wasn't.

Double standard.
