You folks are going to love Kolby Smith

[Hammock Parties]

I wanted to see more of him the last two games, but they stubbornly fed Priest the ball.

This kid can take 20 carries and do something with it. I wish you guys could have been there in training camp. Kolby was a BEAST in the first two weeks. The coaches were raving about him.

He runs real low to the ground with INCREDIBLE power. The legs on this guy...my god, he is built like a tank. He hits the hole HARD (we saw this Sunday) and catches the ball well.

I think we're all going to be pleasantly surprised with Kolby Smith.

Have you guys been dating?:)

[dirk digler]

No I want Kris Wilson starting dammit

[kcchiefsus]

You talked up Croyle and Pollard in training camp also and the first time they struggled you instantly said they were busts and that they suck. I have a feeling that if Smith averages 3.5 ypc this game you are already going to start calling him a bust.

[the Talking Can]

goatse is right, listen to him

[Eleazar]

Hannon is going to be our #3

[Mile High Mania]

I wanted to see more of him... and do something with... you guys could have been... a BEAST... raving about him... real low to the ground with INCREDIBLE power. The legs on this guy...my god... He hits the hole HARD.

...pleasantly surprised with Kolby Smith.

[Hammock Parties]

I'm going to go ahead and call it:

Kolby Smith will put up 100 yards in a game this year.

[siberian khatru]

I'm going to go ahead and call it:

Good God, Herm's gonna run him 50 times in a game?!?

Wow. I didn't realize you were that serious.

will you please not jinx him like all the other players you decide to relentlessly pimp? LJ, Huard, now Smith is doomed.

[Mile High Mania]

Good God, Herm's gonna run him 50 times in a game?!?


ROFL Now that made me chuckle...

[chiefbowe82]

Good God, Herm's gonna run him 50 times in a game?!?
heh

[KCwolf]

Couldn't ask for a better match-up than Oakland...

Here's your chance kid......go get it.

[Eleazar]

On the bright side, 4-12 might land us around the #5 pick or so.

[Hammock Parties]

Fresh legs, folks. Fresh legs.

THE CHEESE BEAST IS COMIN'!!!

Wow. I didn't realize you were that serious.

Don't razz him too much. He might really commit and make a bet with somebody.

[Coach]

Don't razz him too much. He might really commit and make a bet with somebody.

And of course, balk it.

[stumppy]

And of course, balk it.

Go on ! He wouldn't do a pussy thing like that.

[Mile High Mania]

He wouldn't do a pussy.

Exactly.

[Hammock Parties]

C'mon guys. Get behind Kolby. You're gonna love him. He's gonna make Ian Gold his bitch in a few weeks.

[Coach]

C'mon guys. Get behind Kolby. You're gonna love him. He's gonna make Ian Gold his bitch in a few weeks.

Unfortunately, our offensive line is the defensive linemens bitch.

[KCJohnny]

No I want Kris Wilson starting dammit

NOw you are making sense!

Kolby = Frank Moreau.

Is that belly button also your families punch bowl at dinner?

[Ugly Duck]

I think we're all going to be pleasantly surprised with Kolby Smith.

Betcha he'll end up with a buck fifty after ripping off some huge gains against Oakland. Problem is.... you won't really know what you got until he has to play against a real defense.

sidenote: Kolby was Michael Bush's backup in college.... and they might both get their first NFL experience in the same game on Sunday. Tomorrow, Coach Kiffin has to either activate Bush or put him on IR for the season.... so Bush might see his little sidekick Kolby at Narrowhead.

[Megbert]

Not this year didn't get my appointment in time to have it waxed.

[petegz28]

Such a beast it took 2 injuries to get him into the game?

Duck, I hope all of that comes to pass. I'd love to see Smith have a big game and I'd love to see Bush get in a game. I'm curious about what sort of NFL player he will be.

no shit.

[Deberg_1990]

Jessie Haynes > Kolby Smith

[blueballs]

Kolby Smith
can forge the cheese

[HMc]

lock this kid up on FF now, clayton has spoken

[MaxFects]

So who's the backup now?

[Direckshun]

Doesn't really matter behind this OL.

[kstater]

Such a beast it took 2 injuries to get him into the game?

Yeah, he sucks because he didn't get the nod over LJ and Priest.

[Pushead2]

Can anyone page Bam Morris?

[DaKCMan AP]

I liked what I saw out of Kolby last year at Louisville. We'll see how he does over the remainder of the season.

[Direckshun]

Such a beast it took 2 injuries to get him into the game?
Same could have been said about LJ.

[TEX]

I liked him in college, but most every time Smith has touched the ball in a game and preseason he doesn't even look like a legit NFL RB. He looks slow and looks like he lacks vision to me. Course, our O-line and playcalling could make anyone look like that.

I can hardly wait to see how our offensive masterminds utilize his talents. ROFL

It won't really matter if we stay as predictable as we have been. He'll be running into a brick wall by the 2nd quarter.

[chagrin]

For once, I would like to read something written by these "writers" that doesn't sound like a fluff article. The state of sports journalism is really in shambles, it's really bad.
not a personal shot goatse, not at all - I am just tired reading "oh yeah, this guy is a tank! he rocks!"
I saw Kolby Smith run several times and he looks slow and while he does run low I don't see a big deal here. There's a real difference between "pleasantly surprised" and he's a "beast" and "you're going to love him".
Just as an example, just go back to the Jessie Haynes hype, Greg Hill - for once I'd just like to read a realisitc article, not some "waxing philosophically, I love myself" styled item.

[Chief Chief]

Can he break Priest's record of total number of nachos consumed during halftime?

I honestly believe he's the type of back that needs a few carries to get into a rhythm. I thought as the game wore on last week he looked better.

Actually, his touches were as follows:

3-1-KC 42 (13:37) 21-K.Smith left tackle to KC 43 for 1 yard

1-10-KC 23 (1:15) (Shotgun) 21-K.Smith up the middle to KC 27 for 4 yards

2-6-KC 27 (:42) 21-K.Smith up the middle to KC 32 for 5 yards

2-8-KC 25 (6:35) 21-K.Smith left tackle to KC 27 for 2 yards

3-6-KC 27 (5:49) (Shotgun) 12-B.Croyle pass short left to 21-K.Smith to KC 34 for 7 yards

1-10-IND 45 (3:34) 21-K.Smith up the middle to IND 40 for 5 yards

1-10-IND 22 (2:15) (Shotgun) 21-K.Smith up the middle to IND 19 for 3 yards

3-12-KC 35 (14:11) (Shotgun) 12-B.Croyle pass short middle to 21-K.Smith to KC 46 for 11 yards

1-10-KC 45 (8:58) 21-K.Smith left end to KC 40 for -5 yards

3-18-KC 37 (7:41) (Shotgun) 21-K.Smith left tackle to KC 39 for 2 yards


So after his initial 1yard carry he got blown up behind the LOS once for -5 yards (obviously poor blocking) and got only 2 yards on a 3rd and 18 draw play. He also had a couple of nice catches for positive yardage.

:clap:

And they're ALWAYS validated by the famous ," I saw him in training camp - you didn't" statement. ROFL

[TN_Chief]

A whole 100 yards? You're kidding! Why that's the best news I've heard since...watching Adrian Peterson go for almost 300.

You might be right, at least I'm hoping so. It's honestly hard to assess anything behind our horrid O-line.

[HonestChieffan]

Note to Kolby....now is a good time to suggest you need a raise.

Signed,

Santa

[GarySpFc]

I'm going to go ahead and call it:

Kolby Smith will put up 100 yards in a game this year.

100 yards per game does not count for squat when he makes 3 fumbles.

[Eleazar]

Goatse has to jump on the bandwagon of every new player in the hopes that just one of his pet projects will turn out to be right. Then he can let us all know again that he gets paid to do this.

[Mile High Mania]

Two words ... Corey Dillon.

[Buehler445]

Duck, I hope all of that comes to pass. I'd love to see Smith have a big game and I'd love to see Bush get in a game. I'm curious about what sort of NFL player he will be.

RJ, Bush was a fuggin monster in college. Louisville couple put him in short yardage up the middle or send him to the outside to outrun everybody and he was money every single time. The problem will be how bad that broken leg was. It took him a very long time to get that healed up.

I'm hoping Kolby will develop. Honestly, I haven't paid enough attention to his runs to see how he looks on a fundemental level (usually screaming at the TV to block somebody). At any rate, it would be great if he becomes a solid back with some decent blocking.

[Easy 6]

Two words ... Corey Dillon.

4 words...Can Stay At Home.

[Duck Dog]

It's Smith I'm so concerned with, it's that crap Oline we have blocking for him.

[Frankie]

The legs on this guy...my god, he is built like a tank. He hits the hole HARD
If his legs are "built like a tank" where would the gun barrel be? With your reputation on this bb, GoChiefs, I would stay away from such wordings in my posts. Especially expressed with such passion.
;)

[Manila-Chief]

Such a beast it took 2 injuries to get him into the game?

Exactly ... especially since Herm was wanting to get younger. I think they held him coz they didn't have other options.

Seems our chance for a very high rank draft pick just increased greatly. I'm cool with that aspect. Would be even more cool with it if Kingless is not the one making the final decision on who to draft.

[Frankie]

Kolby was Michael Bush's backup in college....
:hmmm:
Priest was Ricky Williams' backup in college.

It's like Twilight Zone.

[Frankie]

Yeah, he sucks because he didn't get the nod over LJ and Priest.
Exactly my sarcastic thought.

[Huffman83]

........again...this sucks...

[Frankie]

Actually I'm less concerned about him gaining a 100+ yards than his ability to protect Croyle in pass plays. Hopefully he has learned a thing or two from Priest.

[bobbything]

I think we're all going to be pleasantly surprised with Kolby Smith.
He can't be any worse than 70 ypg and .375 touchdowns per game.

[Bowser]

Somewhere, Herm and Solari are desperately trying to figure out how to get 5 WR's on the field at the same time.

[TN_Chief]

Somewhere, Herm and Solari are desperately trying to figure out how to get 5 WR's on the field at the same time. That'd be "arena ball"...and we don't do that here.
/Herm

[Demonpenz]

sweet kneepads in that picture

[StcChief]

K.Smith is hopefully good enough for now. a 3rd down back????

[FringeNC]

Can he pass block?

[Hammock Parties]

Kolby is awesome. His lower body strength is incredible.

[King_Chief_Fan]

Kolby is awesome. His lower body strength is incredible.

that leg strength came in handy on that fourth down with the last possesion.

[the Talking Can]

goatse is right, listen to him

ROFL

damn I am smart....

[Thig Lyfe]

You were wrong, you f*cking moron. I wasn't pleasantly surprised.



I WAS GODDAMN DAZZLED! Kolby looks like Priest of old. With a good pick at LT next year, this offense is going to be great.

[Frankie]

Kolby is awesome. His lower body strength is incredible.
Here we go again with another GoChiefs post marveling at a player's lower body. :p ;)
