I love Case, but I'm sure his size will be questioned... I saw Battle last night and I always liked the way he ran, very physical....Glad to see him do well last night...
It's really cool to see Jackie having success. When he was coming out of UH, I figured that he had a decent chance to stick in the league. But given the fact that it had been several years now, I assumed that his chance had passed. Kudos to the Chiefs for continually sticking by him. He has been on and off their active roster roughly 800 times since he came into the NFL.
I was really surprised that Battle was not drafted. According to the General he really impressed on his pro day.
The YPC of all the chiefs runningbacks is not good this year, they can't run it up the middle to save their lives. Jackie is leading the way with 4.7, but the Chiefs as a whole are in the bottom 3rd of the league in YPC.
McCluster is a worse version of Reggie Bush when trying to run up the middle, and for some reason they keep running him between the tackles. Thomas Jones is not a good running back anymore, and should be seeing less carries as the season goes on.
I hope they put TJ out to pasture, but did you watch how San Diego completely shut down any inside running for Jackie? That's how it has been almost all year. They have to go outside or they get nowhere. It's really frustrating, because if you give Jackie enough room to make it to the 2nd level, he totally punishes safeties and linebackers.
