Webnews: Chiefs will “take a peek” at LeSean McCoy

[Coach]

By Charean Williams

The Chiefs don’t have Kareem Hunt anymore. The Chiefs are either ready to hand Damien Williams the ball as their lead running back or they are planning to have a running back by committee, depending on the day.

I dont agree with the signing. He's 31 and I dont think he is better that what we have already st this stage in his career. Thompson will probably inactive now in alot of games. I think this was Reid just playing favorites.

I really don't know what to make of this, either. Maybe he will find a 2nd wind in KC and be a solid contributor. We'll have to wait and see.

This is a great signing and McCoy is a beast. He can do everything. This is a win for us.

You might be living in the past. I remind you he's 31. Maybe a good thing is if he can teach thompson a few things since they're similar in size and all.

I'm hoping that this is the case. The more I think about the move it does make sense. McCoy has to know his years in the NFL are numbered, and that KC is very likely going deep in the playoffs if not more. That, combined with his experience with Reid, hopefully will give us that late game threat that will break tackles and keep the clock rolling when we need it. Think initially they were hoping Carlos Hyde would be that guy, but he didn't do a great job of taking care of the football in the preseason.
