Ronald Jones visiting KC today

Nice!

I like it. Sign him Burt!

Hope he fixes the whole “fumbling the ball” issue he had in Tampa Bay.

He was recruited to USC by Deland McCullough KCs former RB coach so I’m sure they have some insight on him

Nice, after this Hill trade under no circumstance is it acceptable for us to go into the season with the quality of RBs we've had over the past few years.

We are going to have to run the ball next year. It's that simple. Jones would be excellent.

Hope they bitch slap him and tell him "Give that to Brady when you see him"

Oh hell yes. All in on this one.

He hasn’t been good, why is everyone excited for him?

No thx lol

RBs ****ing blow

He's pretty good. Has some speed/explosion that we have never seen from CEH.

24 years old.

NFL likes to block their highlights, but feel free to click through and watch his vids below.

He's better than what we have at RB and he won't cost much.

Yuck

Re-sign McKinnon and sign Mack. Draft a big back.
Hell, trade for Hunt.....

It would be a great signing.. Not a fan of CEH

Burt has been killing it at the garage sales. Guys like Wiley, Reiter, and Jones are excellent roster additions. A Jones/CEH backfield would be fine by me. I hope Clyde comes around, but who knows.

Reids never been big on big backs, bro

This dude isn't very good, FYI.

Just draft Dalvin Cooks brother and re-sign McKinnon.

Would be a very solid pickup in my opinion so long as he's a near vet min addition. He's productive in a split-carry role, which is what KC needs with CEH, and can catch out of the backfield. I mentioned him in Direkshun's inquiry in the draft forum the other day as a guy I'd keep an eye on.

Garbage. Rather have McKinnon.

NO RB has a chance in KC.

Reid will not play them

Uh, no. That's not right.

:shake:

Based on what, exactly?

I'm seeing these takes and can't understand where the opinion even comes from. He's been a better runner than McKinnon and Williams and he's solid as a receiver. He's not as fast as McKinnon, but fast doesn't always matter in the NFL.

I'm good with CEH/McKinnon/ Gore

Worst post so far this year:clap:

Why the **** do you idiots want Ronald Jones? He's ass and a half.

He is CEH like...Dont need another one

Bleh

Same. All could do well if they are actually used properly.

In fact, McKinnon and Gore have balled out whenever given the opportunity.

CEH was a turd for awhile, but he came on strong after the injury. Not their fault Andy wants to pass against 8 men in coverage.


All competitive sports = What is my opponent doing that can be taken advantage of?

Yes because you're clueless about football.

I think Jones is a fine player and would basically be CEH Part 2. It can't hurt.

But at the same time, speed seems to be the recipe for success in our running backs. Damien Williams and McKinnon's cameo last year seem to be good evidence for that. Jones and CEH aren't about speed.

Veach and Reid apparently disagree with you. :hmmm:

I mean we have next to nothing at the position and the guy ran for almost 1,000 yards and averaged 5.1 a pop in their Super Bowl season. I'm pretty sure he'd be an upgrade over Derrick Gore and Darrel Williams as a depth move.

Lemme guess... you would rather then Chiefs bring in some big name RB and pay him 15Mil a year to get the ball 8 times a game?

GoTta haVE ThT biG nAMe On PaPER To WIn thE oFfSeaSOn BRuh

Utter nonsense and anyone who is happy with a trash RB room that has allowed teams to drop eight guys deep is an absolute idiot imo.

No i just want an RB group that takes advantage of light boxes when teams drop eight guys..because NEWFLASH!!...last year's group DIDN'T!!.

oh a rb...who cares

Jones hit a 98 yard home run touchdown two years ago..suggesting he isn't fast would be foolish.

Brett Veach.

You should, we're going to need good ones now more than ever.

we don't know how good they are....Reid doesn't play them

Clyde Edwards-Helaire would beat him out in training camp. Get McKinnon back and we have a dynamic duo and Gore for brutality.

Better than Darrel Williams

Doesn't matter who the RBs on this team are ROFL

Bwahahhahaha ROFL

Y'all bitch about CEH but want Ronald Jones?

Same

People under estimate CEH and that's fine teams won't expect it either but he will have a great season and I'm hoping McKinnon because those two can be interchangeable in the offense or make more plays with both on the field.


This offensive line though no reason any of them wouldn't average 6 yards a carry especially when teams are playing the pass we can knock of 10 yards a carry until we force them to stack the box but then they will pay when we hit Hardman or who we get in the draft down field for touchdowns.

I'm not near as down on losing Tyreek with all the draft picks we get.


I'm going preach about this offensive line and that the rest of division thinks they are going sack Patrick Mahomes. He thrives on the blitz that's what is hilarious to me bring on the blitz and Mahomes will carve teams up either with his arm or legs but Holy **** this offensive line we can bout get anyone to run behind Thuny Humphrey and Smith holy **** balls this offensive line is stacked.

Exactly. So far he hasn't passed my football eyes test yet!!!

We aren't signing Jones to replace CEH tho. Is he not an upgrade over Williams?

Seriously Ron is better than Darrell ?? It's been just the opposite based on what I have seen of the two.

Laugh it up. I've been preaching Clyde Edwards-Helaire and I'm sticking with him.


2021 season

Ronald rushed 101 attempts 428 yards 4.2 avg and 4 touchdowns

Rec 10 64yards 6.4 avg 0 TD


My guy Clyde Edwards-Helaire 119 attempts 517 yards 4.3 avg 4 touchdowns

Rec 19 129 yards 6.8 avg and 2 touchdowns.


My guy beats your guy.


What a ****ing reerun you are.

scratching my head on this too lol. rojo is actually really good he's been buried on a stacked depth chart and has had some fumbling issues that have kind of tainted his value. i'd honestly argue he's a better runner than anyone we have on the roster. what he lacks in is pass pro and hands like ceh's.

DRAFT YOUR RUNNING BACKS, THEN DUMP THEM.

RINSE, REPEAT.

We haven't done that and have had some success. So is Jones better than Williams?

Personally, I don't think so. It's a wash at best.

Dude has fumbling problems and couldn't distance himself from Peyton Barber even before Lenny showed up.

Just draft a guy.

This would be a great signing. We need to have a running game this year.

nice... a team full of backups that we start . .Go Chiefs

You don't know football.

exactly...but chiefs fans will watch his 3 minute hype video and say I like the way he runs the ball..he fits our offense. .

There’s a reason why he didn’t see much of the field in Tampa. Yes, he’s fast but ball security issues, can’t block, can’t catch, can’t break tackles. We need workhorses, not gimmick RBs. We already have one of those in CEH and he’s not fooling anyone.

Lol Ceh is injury prone, has no speed , can't block and is barely part of the passing game and this clown is acting like Ceh Is Barry Sanders :evil:

Video of every carry and reception he made last year if you want to watch it.

People acting like the Chiefs would be signing him as the starter or something. He's a really good complementary back and a far better player than Damien Williams was when the Chiefs signed him. He's better than McKinnon too, and people want him back.

The guy runs hard as **** and hits the hole fast. He's a solid fit for what they need in my eyes. He's a bit fumble prone but he's not Devin Singletary. People get really up in arms over a couple of fumbles from a RB per season I guess. You look at, for instance, Pat had 724 passes or rushes last season and fumbled 10 times for a 1.4% rate, which is Jones' career fumble rate. If Veach and Reid have him in for a visit, they are apparently comfortable with that, it's more about numbers and seeing how he digests things at this point.

Obviously, the Chiefs think he has something left or would not have brought him in. :doh!:

ROFLROFLROFL

ya do it, sign this guy

that would be a low key really nice signing. That's what I said about McKinnon last year, but he only started doing anything that I expected him to in the playoffs. But I think Ronald Jones would contribute instantly.

Wish we could have Darrell back tho

He started 13 games and ran for almost 1,000 yards with over 5 yards per carry the year they won the Super Bowl. I’d hardly call that not seeing the field.

He has some issues, but he’s not the scab some of you are making him out to be. For a value contract he’s well worth bringing in. Andy Reid can make goddamn Darrel Williams look good, surely he can bring out the best in a talented guy like Jones.

what a weird ass day

This guy has a bit of Kareem Hunt-esque power and balance. Seems he can catch decently as well. In a perfect world we could sign Ronald and Mckinnon to have a three headed approach. The only downside is I am not sure any 3 of them can block to compliment our passing game when needed.

Clyde isn't near as bad as you haters think he is. Yes he has to stay healthy i agree 100% but his injuries have been fluke like doing the splits that would hurt anyone. Last year he had gallbladder surgery during the summer and admitted he came into camp under weight so he had a rough start to the season and yes got hurt with a 300 pound man fall on him. He can make a big impact on this offense like he did his rookie season. This is his third year to prove himself and prove he isn't injury prone and yes we need another back I'd love Mckinnon to come back. Clyde Edwards-Helaire was also doing pretty good in the playoffs along with McKinnon I think they make a great one two combo. I've also seen Clyde block in the backfield he does just fine there.

Like it or not I bet he is going be our feature back as the Chuefs brass like him and I think they know a bit more than you or I.

And if they bring in a guy or draft a guy great I love Training Camp battles and see who wins out if Clyde gets beat out so that means he is one hell of a football player and I'll be happy for whoever wins the job but I'm pretty sure it's going be Clyde. We will ride with Clyde

What passing game?

Ironically CEH makes Justin Reid look foolish on that 2nd run you posted.

The fact that you're showing clips from his debut TWO YEARS AGO tells it's own story. And no...Ceh will not be the lead back next year imo.

You know that one with a HOF coach, qb, te, very good oline and 2 receivers lol.

Not a good pick. He's injured a lot. We need a 3 down guy and CEH isn't one. Hunt was the last 3 down guy we had.

Injuries are an issue. I think he looked good in year one. I mean he tore up the bills and got injured against the dirty saints on a nice run. I think he has the ability when healthy to be a good back. Last year he was not good.

Have there been any updates on this situation?

Rep for any useful answers.
