    Default Battle should start over Jones

    Nice to get a win today, but Jones is just too old to do anything with this o line. Battle looked good today with the few carries he got. Battle can actually get yardage unlike Jones who just falls down at the line. I believe Battle is a much better fit with this sub par O line. It is obvious why he should be playing instead of Jones. I don't see Haley doing this though. Your thoughts.

    Battle isn't a guy you can give the ball 15+ times a game. He'd break down, and quick. Jones needs to be replaced, but by a FA, not by McCluster or Battle.

    You are out of your mind, I have watched Battle on this team for a couple of years and have never seen anything to make me think this guy is anything more than a backup.


    Are you man enough? Eric Berry? Apparently Not!

    I never said he be the number 1 back. He should play over Jones.

    Jones is our number 1 back right now. If Battle is playing over him . . .

    I don't think there should be a number 1 unless we bring in someone else who can be. Right now I don't see a number 1 back on this team.

    I liked that they gave Battle some carries, that would normally have gone to Jones.

    And Jones' average hasn't been good.

    But I am ok with a RB-by-committee approach.

    This RB has been on the team for a while, never really played much, many said he should be cut, but still he is on the Team, and played well today. I think JB is a Chief! and he played like one today!

    He also proudly carries his Battles on his back! On a Red or White Chiefs Jersey.
