If you listen to Reid's Monday press conference backwards, you can hear him saying "I buried Jamaal. I buried Jamaal."

All things being equal, he'd need help because he's not the most fit fella in the world, so digging a hole that deep would result in him dying of a heart attack. JMO...

Mud pit. Belly flop into it. Splash the mud out. NO digging required...

@adamteicher: Chiefs trainer Rick burlholder said Charles os day to day. Ruled out long term issue like lisfranc

As long as he's not day to day a month from now that seems like pretty good news.

did he died?

*large, long, exhale*

Between Draughn, Grey and Davis.....they can handle all of the carries until Week 1. They need all the snaps they can get anyways.

@TJCarpenterWHB: Jamaal Charles rolled his ankle yesterday and it strained the ligaments and they held him out of practice today according to Rick Burkholder

He's fine. Thankfully!

Now hopefully we don't see him again until week one.

I would rest Charles until week 1 or play him in the last pre season game and let him run the ball for a carry and catch the ball. Then take him out of the game and let the other RB fight for the final 2 spots.

810 just played a Chiefs interview featuring one of the team trainers. My, what a culture change from the last few years. Confirmed that it was a strained ligament on the outside of the foot/ankle. JC has seen two orthopedic surgeons. NO serious damage to soft tissue or bone. JC will stay 'day-to-day' status. Someone send donk-homer Adam Shitner a bag of dicks.

Jamal Charles should practice when healthy. A lot of his big runs the last few years have been on stretch plays. I am not sure we will see many of those in the new offense. If that is the case, practice will help him get ready for the plays that will be run.

Knile Davis ran a kickoff back 60+ yards on Friday after taking it from the left to the middle of the field and then making a cut back to the left and then finding open field.

I think the people complaining about his running style are not considering how poorly the backup O-line played. The Saints D-line overpowered our backup O-line in the first half. So I would not make any judgments about Davis or Chase Daniel based on Friday's 1st half.

Davis will be fine. Larry Johnson had the same issues his first year or two.

Yeah. Knile will be slapping bitches at the Plaza III and throwing drinks on hoes from the VIP at Mosaiic in no time.

Wow. How refreshing. Remember, was it last year? When Flowers spent the entire preseason out, and no one ever gave an answer about what was going on.

Now that's a legitimate relief.

Outside of the foot is a hell of a lot less scary.

Yeah, like I said yesterday, with stepping on another players foot as the cause it seemed unlikely that it was a lisfranc thing

But look at the advantage that gave us! We managed to win two games when we should have won zero.

The plan worked perfectly.

We could have eked out a third win.................

Good thing you didn't. You wouldn't have had the #1 pick, and then you would have missed out on...

Oh. Never mind.

Yay, we only sucked a lot....

KEEP DOUBTING OUR RT!!!

TJ Carpenter @TJCarpenterWHB
Andy Reid: "If push came to shove we probably could have practiced (Jamaal) today, kept him out as a precaution." #Chiefs

:fistpump:

Maybe he can wear a walking boot as a precaution.

Keep him out until next week as a precaution.

You go to hell! You go to hell and you die!

Reid says Charles could play Friday night against 49ers: http://www.kansascity.com/2013/08/14...arles-out.html …

"Could" does not = will. I pray.

I will hope. We don't need anymore crap like that.

Football players need to play.

I hope he plays. it would mean the injury was minor. now go buy a jersey you chocostud worshipers

They had him jogging up a big hill for a while, seemed fine.

Charles should play if he's healthy. I feel like keeping everyone out just out of fear would likely result in either subpar early season performances bc people aren't up to game speed, or early injuries for the same reason.

today?

Adrian Peterson subcribes to this theory.

Yup, he was by spratt stadium with a few other players rehabbing going up and down a pretty damn steep hill. Id say hes alright.

Shit, keep him out of the preseason as a precaution. Give him the Tony Gonzalez free summer pass. We know that dude can run.

I agree. If he's healthy, let him play a few series. If he's still significantly dinged, let him have a week to recover and then give him a full (preseason game 3) load the next week.

He's so valuable that we should have him in two walking boots during games. I don't want any chance of having him injured.

oh okay -- good good news thx

they are building this team around Jamaal's superior skills. he needs to be in this all pre season long if they are going to be any good this season.

from what I saw last friday, this WR/TE group is going to take time to get the PB to a point where the team can rely less on Jamaal.

Keep him out of the season, everyone knows we aren't going to do better than 5-11/ ASmith haters

just die

He should probably just retire. Can't risk getting him hurt.

did I make you choke on your twinky lunch

Yeah but Adrian Peterson is a Greek god.

you should choke on something after suggesting a team should play their starting veteran RB all preseason long.


the RB have the shortest careers for a reason



You don't play them a ton in preseason to make it even worse.

http://www.imperfectparent.com/topic..._bubbleboy.jpg

Put him in a bubble.

Not even if hes dinged? Frank Gore almost never plays in the preseason. I could see sitting him out this week, and playing him with the starters in week 3, and then sitting him week 4 as all the starters will sit anyways.

This works.

why are you so god damn dense. with the 1's ****face... with the 1's :spank:

so you are suggesting that we 'use up' the limited number of carries of our elite level running back in preseason games?

Charles should sit for the preseason except for some series Week 3. Davis needs the work anyway.

Laz has a definite point. However, I do understand that this is a new offense, and even, perhaps, the first "real" offense Charles has been a part of in his entire NFL career. He does need to learn the playbook and develop continuity with his teammates in the system.

However, as Laz stated, just by the nature of his position, his career is limited unless he's really, really lucky and pulls an Emmitt Smith. Most running backs just don't have the longevity based on their position and what they are required to do on a daily basis in the NFL.

You can see the perceived/understood importance of Charles to this team (at least from a fans perspective) by the reaction to a minor injury that he seems to be recovered from already. Hell, you can see the importance of Charles to Reid and the offense as he got the cart treatment immediately. As such, I wouldn't be too opposed to see Charles standing on the sidelines for the rest of the preseason. Hell, it might even give us a look at the Gray, Davis, Droughn battle for that backup spot.

I think Gray has a lot of potential in this system, but we didn't see much if any of him in that first preseason game.

that's funny ... i don't see anything about 1's

i don't see anything about limit in your post at all

i see "he needs to be in this all pre season long"

now if your moronic ass misspoke then just say so ... but don't put that on me.

Charles is a veteran guy who can learn this new offense in practice during the no/low contract drills. Imo.

in preseason you use young guys at RB and kick returning etc ... let them absorb the hits to prolong the life of your quality veterans.

I'm sorry I ever thought you'd make an intelligent assumption. in the future, don't look for me to spell out every detail for morons, so not to upset them.

Agreed. If they're worried about it, hold him out. But if he's healthy, he plays.

it's funny how the team treated tony g like a prima donna and he became a prima donna

I think it's more that he was the picture of professionalism and rarely missed playing time during the year.

Why **** with what works?

He has great hair though!!!

Not only am i not opposed to that, but thats exactly what should happen.

The other guys need the evaluation and work a lot more than he does, just keep him busy in camp to ward off the rust and he'll be fine.

we're likely to see Jamaal less and less as the exhibition season weeks go by and it will of course lend the opp to the other RB's. but I'm pretty sure Knile is the guy and if I were to pick, Gray would be the #3.

I was just saying Jamaal needs to play every pre season game with the ones. this is not just for Jamaal -- the blockers need to get in line with how Jamaal runs through holes etc.

that goal line TD last week was real important imo. it was important to Jon A/Fish and the OL as a whole -- instills confidence going into the season and it gives the OL a sense of timing & direction.

Thats a fair point about getting them all in tune with one another buzz, but they atleast should progressively limit his reps as you say.

We need to get these other jokers in lockstep, too.

Yeah, but........your bubble leaves his knees and feet vulnerable... Ugh!

Might I recommend:

Just heard on 610 that Reid is sitting Jamal Charles for the rest of the preseason.
Assuming that’s true, can’t say I disagree.

Player should play but risking your stud makes no sense either.

Haha.

Let the Alexcuses fly.

fyp

FYP.

Yeah, can't argue that.

he should be allowed to play, they just shouldn't be allowed to tackle him /roger goodell

long as he is ok .. let him rest till week 1 .. look at the other rb's .......

I totally agree with this. Even if he's 100% he should sit.
