Honestly, I must not have paid enough attention. I knew he had every bit as much talent as a runner that Hillis did. I thought where Hillis set himself apart was as a pass catching threat out of the backfield. I obviously underestimated Tolbert's effectiveness there.

Honestly, I still think Hillis is a good pickup, came cheap on a prove it contract, but I do believe Tolbert probably has the better chance of duplicating what he has flashed.

I may have spoken too soon. Hmmmm. We'll see I guess.

Wildcat with two bangers and a burner. Hasn't been done before.

A lot like Denver's offense last year...

Let's not forget we are still meeting with Tolbert...

lostcause · 03-14-2012, 11:13 PM

This is great and at $3million an absolute steal if we get a Hillis anywhere near 2010 caliber.

Charles + Hillis + Tolbert = 0 negative yardage plays all season

salame · 03-14-2012, 11:30 PM

Yeah like Tolbert really wants to come here and be really limited in playing time....

I like the signing.

As far as length is concerned, NOBODY was signing this dude longer than one year with the "Im gonna join the CIA" shitstorm that he stirred up. Its a safe deal for the Chiefs that has the potential to pay off pretty big if he's focused.

Jones is gone, and we dont know how Jamaal is gonna look after the ACL rehab. Charles isnt durable enough to carry the full load anyway, and Hillis is the type of smashmouth runner that can get some tough yards when we need them, provided he can hold onto the football. He's going to be a damn good asset to this offense.

People tend to forget that Jamaal coughs it up in some very shitty situations as well, so its not like we werent going to have the danger of some turnovers in running situations.

Im really just glad they signed someone. Its still a cheap deal, but given the player and the situation, no team in the league was gonna sign this dude long term so he could Ricky Williams them.

This is pretty much how I feel about the signing as well. IF he is healthy he should be good.

Joe Seahawk · 03-15-2012, 12:49 AM

Seems like a very good signing to me. good job Chiefs.

BryanBusby · 03-15-2012, 01:14 AM

CasteFootball gonna love this signing.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a lot of work at FB with McClain leaving. So, I wouldn't rule out Tolbert.

lostcause · 03-15-2012, 01:21 AM

Winston taking out the DE, with Hillis lead blocking and Tolbert going off tackle... Sounds ****ing mean.

Imon Yourside · 03-15-2012, 01:23 AM

The only negative i see is Cassel is still the QB and we won't need short yardage packages on 3rd and 15+.

so what? a good defense and a ruthless running game can win a lot of ball games.

Yup 8-8 and if we're fortunate enough to make the playoffs another 1st round exit. We can watch another team draft a franchise qb, rinse and repeat.
