What do you expect from Jamaal Charles this year?

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Teams have had, and will have, a chance to better game plan for him now. He's not a surprise anymore. Will he step up and be our next great back for years to come? What do you expect from him this year?

[notorious]

800 yards on 187 carries. Tweeks shoulder and knee. Misses last 5 games due to injury.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I expect him to set another franchise record at Invesco field!

Bite your tongue, boy!

Reverse psycology. :)


I see him doing some Priest-esc things, but the numbers will be around 60-70% of Priest's every year.


In reality, I see him doing 1100 yards on 240 carries.

[Frankie]

Well DCs are gonna prepare for him better now. Still around 1200 yards is my guess, barring injuries.

4.58 ypc

Not bad. I was going to guess 1200 yards on 280 carries.

[CosmicPal]

Teams that game-plan around a single player are usually teams that get beat.

McCluster adds an intriguing dimension to the line-up and Thomas adds experience and security.

[Hammock Parties]

1200 yards would be nice. I don't expect him to carry it more than 250 times.

Mr. Jones will take the pounding. Hopefully our coaching staff isn't as retarded as the staff was the year when they pulled the 2 drives Priest/1 drive Johnson shit.

Mix em' up, and keep the defense guessing.

[Ebolapox]

I'm hoping for at least 1200 yards on 230 carries. I expect us to give him a lot of breathers and use thomas jones to take the main workload (I expect 800-1000 yards on 280 carries)

[KCrockaholic]

A great season, averaging 5.5 YPC. About 1,300 rush yards. About 1,800 total yards.

[Mecca]

Better be a lot because this team is only going to win games by leaning on the run.

[Marcus_Halberstram]

season ending injury about game 3...

[MoreLemonPledge]

14 yards on 3 carries. Broken tibia, out for season.

[Marcus_Halberstram]

Tervaris Johnson will get the bulk of the carries by the end of the season. Jones is toast.

[Ebolapox]

yay, a new troll!

[beer bacon]

More than 1,000 rushing yards on less than 250 carries. Jones will have between 100 and 200 carries and McCluster will have 50-100.

[pr_capone]

More than 1,000 rushing yards on less than 250 carries. Jones will have between 100 and 200 carries and McCluster will have 50-100.

What you are saying is that you expect our slot receiver to get 100 carries this season?

I haven't been paying as close attention as some. I thought the plan was to line up McCluster at both WR and RB. Has it been settled that he is going to line up strictly in the slot? I think if they give him some carries, he will be productive enough to warrant a handful of carries every game.

[Buck]

300 Carries 1100 yards 6 TDs

225 carries 45 receptions 1800 yards from scrimmage 15 total tds

[boogblaster]

He got most of his yardage from cutting back and making it on his own .. so he'll prolly do bout the same , hopefully .....

[ChiTown]

More than 1,000 rushing yards on less than 250 carries. Jones will have between 100 and 200 carries and McCluster will have 50-100.

25-40 carries max for Dex, unless we have some serious injuries. Jones and Charles will split +80% of the RB totes.

[InChiefsHeaven]

No reason to believe that Charles will not have at least as good a season as he had last year, and given that performance was only in 8 games or so, I'm expecting 1800 all purpose yards. And that's WITH another 7-900 from Mr. Jones. In other words, I'm expecting us to be a fuggin' awesome running team this year...it'll help Cassel look better too...

[arrowheadnation]

2400 rushing yards. 33 Touchdowns.

[Frankie]

2400 rushing yards. 33 Touchdowns.

You sir are a llort.

(we've had a couple of trolls here. You are the opposite.)

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Eleventy billion yards and 5200 TD's whilst swinging a 14" rep-stick upside the head of every Donko dumb enough to be on the same field.

[CupidStunt]

190 carries x 4.7 YPC = 893 yards
35 rec x 8 YPC = 280 yards
9 total TDs

Standard regression to the mean. 4.7 YPC is still very good for an NFL RB. Wouldn't be surprised if he pushed 5.5, but it's hard to predict with confidence.

[The Franchise]

1500 All purpose yards
10 TDs

[HypnotizedMonkey]

Beast Mode. To the Ship.

[HotRoute]

I would hope that he is able to put up around 1200 rush yards and 500 rec yards, but with weis at the helm I doubt he will rely on him as much as haley did last year.

[DBOSHO]

280 carries 1550 tds 12 rush tds

jones 100 carries 480 yds 8 tds

[kcxiv]

ITs going to totally depened on the game situation. If Jamaal is just running all over a team, i seriously doubt you go away from that. If he's struggling, i think you may bring in Jones a little more.


Jamaal runnign is going to be based on game by game situation. YOu just do NOT take out someone that is having a good game.

MY PREDICTION? PAIN!

[Demonpenz]

he's going to miss a couple games with a concussion

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

His game is going to put "Demongame" to shame. :D
