Chiefs I think Jamaal Charles can be an excellent role player - Page 2

What do you think?

Kinda like what Leon Washington and Kevin Faulk do on their respected teams? He can play a really good role on this team. Possibly as a change of pace back? Or maybe he can be an excellent receiver in the backfield? I think his frame is a little undersized to be an everydown RB imo. But the big play ability is certainly there.

He has game! I see it. I'll take a Leon Washington or Kevin Faulk on my team anyday of the week. Those kind of players are a little underlooked, but i never underestimate the importance and value they give to their teams.

Imo, the Pats would have not won a SB without Kevin Faulk, and the Jets wouldn't be as good as their record indicates without Leon Washington. Not saying these guys are the major reasons there teams win, but definately key contributors.

I always rememberred how Kevin Faulk numerous times came up with clutch 3rd down receptions to help sustain drives. Or he would make a key run here or there, or chip in with a nice block. I always remember Leon Washington breaking off big runs, and even returns. You need all this to win definately. Without it, you cant be a good team.

I see Charles as an important face of the future for this Chiefs team. And doing those kinda things. Why they dont use him on returns, I don't know?

Anyone see Charles try and run to the left only to run into the back of his O-Linemen only because they are way too slow and he's wayyyyy too fast? Plus, he always seem's a little wobbly when running, like a toddler.... but his 5.6 ypc shuts me up fast. We need to use him more with screens. He's amazing at them, and I don't mind using him for a screen on a 3rd and 5 play, but I hate seeing the LJ ones. They never seem to work.
