Will Clyde be number 1, or will we still go commitee style?

[Red Dawg]

Hunt was clearly the man. Will Clyde do the same and get the lions share of snaps?

[Megatron96]

Hunt was the man because Charles got hurt.

[stumppy]

Yes

[Rain Man]

My theory is that we'll use Clyde in base situations and Damien in passing situations.

[Rain Man]

Hunt was the man because Charles got hurt.

Charles was the man because Larry Johnson got suspended.

[ThyKingdomCome15]

D Will is the man to start the season. He's earned it.

[MahomesMagic]

60/40 CEH/Dame

[OKchiefs]

My theory is that we'll use Clyde in base situations and Damien in passing situations.

Except Clyde is known as a great pass catcher, so not sure that makes sense? Unless you mean his weakness in pass blocking?

[Rain Man]

Except Clyde is known as a great pass catcher, so not sure that makes sense? Unless you mean his weakness in pass blocking?

Yeah, my thinking is that they'd initially trust Damien more in terms of pass blocking until Clyde shows that he can do it with the skill needed to protect The Franchise. You can still use Clyde in base sets as a pass catcher.

[smithandrew051]

Hunt was the man because Ware got hurt.

Fyp

[Dunerdr]

initially combo but i fully expect him to take over. Williams was below average for 90% of the season.

[Chiefspants]

All depends on CEH's pass blocking and if Andy/Eric have training camp to get his blocking up to speed.

If training camp is cancelled, Damien is the starter to start the year - but I'm about 100% that CEH will be the guy by the end of the season.

[poolboy]

we are gonna need all of them

[unothadeal]

Charles was the man because Larry Johnson got suspended.

LJ was the man because Priest got Lights Out’d. *flicks light switch tattoo on and off*

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

CEH will split carries until Damien goes down with his eventual iniury

[Wilson8]

This year will be different so not sure what pre-season and season looks like, but I could see the possibility of a trade of a RB, much like we did with Carlos Hyde last year. Damien Williams might get traded as-well-as Darrel Williams or Darwin Thompson.

It will be interesting to see what Mike Weber and Elijah McGuire can do (If we have a pre-season).

Maybe Clyde Edwards-Helaire is the main back and DeAndre Washington, Mike Weber, and someone else will be the Chiefs running backs.

[Bump]

Probably start the season with Damien as #1 but will share snaps/carries/passes. Then when one of them proves that they should be the guy we will see that guy a lot more than the other.

[ForeverIowan]

Veach is comparing CEH to Christian McCaffrey. Reid said CEH is a better prospect/player than Brian Westbrook. Listen, I love DWill but CEH is a different breed.

[Easy 6]

It all depends how quick Clyde picks up the playbook, and polishes his pass pro... but he’ll be The Man sooner than later

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

No one is hating on D Will. Let’s just save him for the playoffs

[eDave]

I don't care for committee. RB's need time to warm up.

[Ubeja Vontell]

He better be number one you spent a first round pick for him.

[KurtCobain]

Hunt was the man because Charles got hurt.

Your memory sucks.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

If he can block well enough, it’s all his reps to lose.

[Megatron96]

Your memory sucks.

How do you figure? If Charles never gets hurt, it's likely that Hunt never sees the field. Maybe ever. At least not as a Chief.

The only reason Hunt got on the field was that Charles got hurt, and after th remainder of that one season it was obvious that neither Ware nor West were the answer.

Or did you think I forgot about Ware and West?

Charles and Hunt were never on the team at the same time. Ware was the beneficiary of Charles getting hurt that you're thinking of. Then Ware got hurt the following preseason and Hunt got his chance.

[Megatron96]

I just said that.

[bowener]

Who gives a fuck. Chiefs will play the player appropriate for the situation. Eventually, CEH will never come off the field.

[Megatron96]

Who gives a ****. Chiefs will play the player appropriate for the situation. Eventually, CEH will never come off the field.

While I agree with you in principle, I want to argue about something Chiefs football-related.

[BossChief]

Charles was the man because Larry Johnson got suspended.

Larry Johnson was a star because Merriman was roided up and broke Priest Holmes neck.

[DaneMcCloud]

Hunt was the man because Charles got hurt.

Nope.

Spencer Ware was the Chiefs #1 running back in 2016 until missing the last two games of the season. He was injured during TC 2017, making Hunt the starter.

Charles hadn't been the Chiefs feature back since before his 2015 injury and only had 8 carries in 2016.

[DaneMcCloud]

D Will is the man to start the season. He's earned it.

No, he hasn't, which is why the Chiefs just replaced him.


Williams has had 1,200 yard in a six year NFL career. He's a backup at best.

[DaneMcCloud]

This year will be different so not sure what pre-season and season looks like, but I could see the possibility of a trade of a RB, much like we did with Carlos Hyde last year. Damien Williams might get traded as-well-as Darrel Williams or Darwin Thompson.

No team is trading for Darwin Award Thompson.

Good grief.

[DaneMcCloud]

How do you figure? If Charles never gets hurt, it's likely that Hunt never sees the field. Maybe ever. At least not as a Chief.

You might be nice guy and all, but your football takes absolutely suck ass.

Charles' career was essentially over in 2015, two full seasons before Hunt was drafted.

[rabblerouser]

Hunt was the man because Charles got hurt.

Spencer Ware got hurt in 2017, which is how Hunt was the man.

I don't even think Charles was on the Chiefs roster in 2017...

[rabblerouser]

You and...facts.

[DaneMcCloud]

And yes, CEH should definitely see the most touches Week 1.

[Sassy Squatch]

To start the season I see CEH as coming off the bench. He'll earn the starting job either by his play or other circumstances, though.

[kccrow]

Agree with Dane on this one. Clyde is going to be the primary and Williams the spot player. No doubts.

[mdchiefsfan]

Anyone know how well he can pass-protect? I really haven’t seen anything about him in that regard.

[Megatron96]

Nope.

Spencer Ware was the Chiefs #1 running back in 2016 until missing the last two games of the season. He was injured during TC 2017, making Hunt the starter.

Charles hadn't been the Chiefs feature back since before his 2015 injury and only had 8 carries in 2016.

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. Hypothetically, IF Jamaal never gets hurt back in 2014, or after, based on his previous three years of production (three consecutive 1,000+ yd seasons), he probably would've been our starting RB in 2017, the year Hunt got drafted. And do we even draft Hunt if we have a healthy Charles?

And I'm overlooking Ware and West, because it was obvious from the start that neither was really a franchise back. A hybrid of them would've been . . . well, Kareem Hunt. But as individuals each lacked what the other had.

[KChiefs1]

Clyde the Glide is the #1 & DWill’s spell him. Keeps all of them happy & healthy.

[Megatron96]

Spencer Ware got hurt in 2017, which is how Hunt was the man.

I don't even think Charles was on the Chiefs roster in 2017...

Charles was with DEN in 2017. I was speaking hypothetically people.

[KurtCobain]

I've heard he needs to work on it.

[KurtCobain]

Charles was with DEN in 2017. I was speaking hypothetically people.

Hypothetically? What the fuck does that even mean in that context?

[Chris Meck]

I'd just about put money on it that to begin with, we'll see see the Fresh Prince in some play packages. As he learns and digests more of the offense, we'll see more and more of him and less of Damien Williams.

It's a pretty complicated offense, and we don't dumb it down for anyone. It's not the usual plug and play for a running back.

[DaneMcCloud]

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying

Dude, I don't do IF's

[KurtCobain]

By Megatron's logic, Hunt was only the man because Priest got hurt in '04.

[Megatron96]

Hypothetically? What the **** does that even mean in that context?

What's so hard to understand? Jamaal Charles was an elite franchise back. If Charles doesn't get hurt in 2014-15, he's probably still the Chiefs primary back going into 2017. If that was the case, Hunt might not even have been drafted by the Chiefs. Ultimately, Hunt got his chance to be the Chiefs starting RB because Charles tore his ACL in some freaky accident on the field. Well, and Ware and West just weren't good enough to be franchise backs.

[Megatron96]

Dude, I don't do IF's

It's the off-season. All we're doing right now is "ifs"

The direct reason Hunt got his first NFL start is because the current feature back at the time (not Charles) got hurt. Had Ware not got hurt in that preseason, Hunt would not have started that first game of the year and he likely would not have caught fire and become the rookie beast we remember.

[gonefishin53]

The Chief's drafted CEH in the first round to be their feature back this season. His football smarts and success in an offense very much like AR's added to his value as the Chief's 1st round pick and makes him the most likely choice as Chief's starter at RB in 2020.

[Megatron96]

Oh god, please make it stop

Oh fine. Then what else can we argue about? I'm sitting here coming up with these big reaches because I'm bored. Aren't we all? Last season I only posted seriously, but discovered it's not nearly as much fun to be right all the time.

[Sassy Squatch]

I bet he wears 22

[58-4ever]

Clyde will be number 2 until week 5 or so... when it becomes obvious.. Then, Damien will be an occasional 3rd down guy.

The big caveat will be if Clyde really struggles in pass protection.

Aw, it's my ole pal limpy! How you been? Was it tough eating all that crow about Andy during/after the Super Bowl?

[DTVietnam]

Dame should be the man until proven otherwise.. but there will be a committee and injuries. .

so now we have:

Dame
Clyde
Washington
Williams
Darwin

Will we keep 5 active RBs?

I think Darwin is the worst of all of them. .

Hasn't anyone been paying attention? I've been mostly posting near-nonsense for a few days now. Probably 7 out of 10 posts are goofs.

Do I really have to plug those stupid smiley faces in before people figure this stuff out?

Here::LOL:

Better?

[bringbackmarty]

Clyde Frog will debut as the #2 rb on the depth chart, expect to see him earlier in games if we score early, unless d will really has taken control of the game. my guess is that makes his debut late in the third quarter of the first game, after Williams has scored three touchdowns.

[bringbackmarty]

After Williams goes out with flu like symptoms prior to the 5th game, Clyde Frog will start and be effective enough that he sees the second series and half the third down reps going forward until Williams is hurt and knocked out for the season, probably weeks 10-13. Clyde frog finishes with 1288 uds rushing on approximately 295 carries adds another 563 us receiving including the playoffs.

[bringbackmarty]

Clyde frog is like ware and sproles fucked and had a kid, in orlther words he's probably like mjd.

[bringbackmarty]

Which is aight.

[Lilmrp117]

Aw, it's my ole pal limpy! How you been? Was it tough eating all that crow about Andy during/after the Super Bowl?

Uh no. Im the one who said the chiefs would win the super bowl despite any andy flaws. You must have me confused with one of the andy haters.

How did you deal with your boy lesean getting benched? Still in denial about his obvious ball security issues? Thank God Andy knew better.

[Boon]

CEH played in the Saints complex offense last year, so he shouldn't have any problem picking up the Reid's offense.

Saints?

[DaneMcCloud]

Saints?

Yes, their OC last year was with the Saints the prior year and brought their system to LSU.

Now, he’s the new OC in Carolina.

[Coach]

That's right, Joe Brady. He has a good quality coaching experience, with as a GA in Penn State (I think under James Franklin), Sean Payton and Drew Brees while in NO, then going to LSU with Ed O.

That's a pretty strong resume.
