Well, I don't think that Payton Hillis is any slouch. We do have other offensive weapons at our disposal.


Just sayin.

I do agree that if we lose Charles then that's going to be a big minus for the offense. But with the additions that we have seen to the offense if he were to go down again then I don't think that it will have a much of an affect as it did a year ago. There is far far more depth on this team now. I think this is going to be a very very good season

I'm a little surprised that he was available for us to pick up.

Texaschief is right the steal of the draft. Man come on september.

i bet you will see hillis getting the lion share of the carries, then charles with grey in mop up. at least in the start of the season just to make sure charles is back 100% and he stays healthy. a really good position to be in w/a lot of talent to choose from in the same backfield.

Chiefs have “no concerns whatsoever” about Jamaal Charles’ recovery

http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.word...-pic.jpg?w=250 Getty ImagesThe Kansas City Chiefs lost their best offensive player on September 18 of last season, when tailback Jamaal Charles tore his left ACL against the Detroit Lions. In hindsight, the Chiefs are probably happy the injury occurred so early last season. Charles has had ample time to recuperate.
Chris Mortensen reported on ESPN 32 late Friday that the Chiefs have “no concerns whatsoever” about Charles’ readiness for the 2012 season. Though Charles won’t practice until training camp, his absence from OTAs is purely a precaution. The Chiefs have held fellow ACL patients Eric Berry and Tony Moeaki out of spring practices, too.
Mort stated that the Chiefs are “excited” about Charles’ potential in their new offense, run by former Browns and Dolphins coordinator Brian Daboll.
With Daboll as offensive coordinator in Miami last year, Reggie Bush broke out for a career-high 1,086 rushing yards while averaging over five yards per attempt and running more decisively in between the tackles than ever before. Daboll also oversaw breakout seasons from Peyton Hillis (2010) and Jerome Harrison (2009) the previous two years in Cleveland.
