Chiefs Jamaal Charles appreciation thread - Page 11

Branden Albert's Huge Balls · 12-02-2012, 02:21 PM

This kid went over 1,000 yards for the third time in his career today. The yards have come hard this season and he has pounded the rock all year. He's easily going to have more than 300 carries.

He has 1,055 yards now and went over 4,000 yards for his career.

In two years he could be the franchise's all-time leading rusher.

Big ups for Jamarrll. We love you.

I'm sure that's helped him on a couple of those 80+ yard carries, but how many times has he only gotten 1, 2 or even negative yards because of that?

Jamaal Charles doesn't rely on huge runs to boost his average and never has. His 2010 season was a perfect indicator of that; the guy was consistently breaking off 6-10 yards a rush. I'd have to check the game logs but I don't think he had any more than a handful of 40+ yard runs that season..

His longest run that season was 80 vs St. Louis.

Amazing

This is why I wanted JC to supplant LJ on opening day 2008.

He started one game that year and shredded Gruden's bucs... and he did it one week after suffering a high ankle sprain which is usually 4-6 weeks recovery.

I didn't understand then and I still don't understand why JC wasn't a first round pick. It was all on tape. He was freaking awesome... and Dallas took Felix Jones instead.

I'm going to guess it was a combination of "he's too small - is he a track guy moonlighting as a football player"

I would understand that except for the fact that Chris Johnson is the exact same size and he went 1st round. Even years into JC's career he was called 'too small' in spite of the fact that CJ was coming off a 2k season at the same height/weight.

The biggest reason I thought that was bad take in 2008 was watching his games at Texas. This was not a guy who relied on speed entirely. You could see his willingness to run between tackles, he finished runs with physicality, and he had great vision in the open field. I saw a running back... but I guess a lot of NFL teams did not. I also think a lot of teams thought he only succeeded because of the Vince Young effect.
