He's slow past it, sure - but that's not the role we're talking about here. He's no sort of breakaway threat.

But again, we're talking about a very limited, specialized niche here. And if you need that guy, you need that guy and taking a dude that weighs less than 200 lbs and putting him into that role will A) fail and B) get him ground into dust in all likelihood.

Like I said - if you're lucky is just doesn't matter. If I'm the Saints I have no use for a power back; we'll be playing in Domes and down south almost every week. Gimme my speed. But that's not the Chiefs. The Chiefs could end up in a situation where they absolutely need a guy who's not gonna dance, who's not gonna need to get small and find a crevice so he can 'fall forward'.

They may need a guy that can just run as hard as he can where the hole is supposed to open and if that hole doesn't open he just just hit the mother****er in front of him hard enough to move that pile forward. And if that's the case, Darwin Thompson is not gonna get that job done.
That’s true.

My issue is I’m just not a huge Hyde fan.
