Chiefs apparently not worried about over-working Jamaal Charles
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...amaal-charles/
It wasn’t that long ago the Chiefs were wondering if Jamaal Charles was going to be back to his old form. Now, they seem perfectly willing to pound him into the ground. Charles had 33 runs and six receptions last week against New Orleans, a startling number for a guy a year removed from ACL surgery. According to Sam Mellinger of the Kansas City Star, Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel has given no indication he wants to ease up on Charles. That makes the work load astonishing. The 39 touches were 12 more than his previous career high, five more than anyone else in the league this year, and one that hasn’t been surpassed since 2004. With Peyton Hillis and Dexter McCluster both hurt, it’s not as if they’re looking to ease up on him, either. For his part, Charles only said “It doesn’t matter,” when asked about his work load. And Crennel said: “He never came to me to say he needed a break.” Players probably aren’t going to ask, until it’s too late. It’s the spot where coaches occasionally have to act in something other than their own best interest, and the Chiefs don’t seem interested in that. |

The Chiefs ran 100 ****ing plays.
It happens. In a normal game he won't have even close to that many.

Captain Checkdown lost his #1 receiving option and we have no running game outside of Charles. I see them relying heavily on Charles as he gives us our best chance of winning.

"Over - used last weekend" ???????
This is a reeruno article from those guys. If you watched the RC presser, he talked about this at length saying (paraphrased) he respects Jamaal's ability to monitor his own play time for longevity.

Amazing how a poorly written article can get national attention.
The Chiefs are not going to "Larry Johnson" Charles. Hopefully, after today, this issue is mote. |

Draughn's yards have mostly come in garbage time. Not convinced he is all that.
He had big time garbage carries against ATL and BUF late in both games.
