Chiefs Coach Unsure Why Jamaal Charles Got Only Five Carries

Found October 29, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Jamaal Charles,  Romeo Crennel
TEAMS: Kansas City Chiefs,  Oakland Raiders
It’s highly laughable when a team has one of the premier talents in the league at running back, yet fails to use him at all during a game. That’s exactly what happened to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday afternoon against the Oakland Raiders, when the team’s extremely talented running back Jamaal Charles only received five carries in the loss. Yes, I repeat, only five carries. Head coach Romeo Crennel has no answers either. “Now, that I’m not exactly sure either,” he said, according to Arrowhead Pride. “Now, that I’m not exactly sure either. We were rotating our running backs in there. [Peyton] Hillis was back, and he was able to get some carries. He was somewhat effective. When a guy’s effective, we kind of stay with him a little bit. Hillis was able to run through there and break some tackles and get some things done.” I won’t for one second try to question a head coach in the NFL. I’m not a coach, nor have I ever been one. I do now, regardless of Hillis or anyone else on the roster, that Charles only getting five touches in a game is a laughable and that should get someone fired for such stupidity of a decision.

Coach Romeo Crennel will let Wylie get some practice reps under his belt before considering him on kickoff and punt returns. Wylie looked very good in preseason, and will probably be in line for some...

In seven words, Romeo Crennel explained why the Kansas City Chiefs are so bad this year.

According to ESPN’s John Clayton, there’s “virtually no chance” that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe will be traded before Thursday’s 4PM NFL trade deadline. It doesn’t make sense for any NFL team to trade for Bowe when they don’t know if he’ll re-sign with them after the season.  He can’t sign a new deal until the regular season is over, since he’s...

The Kansas City Chiefs are bad.  Let’s get that out of the way first.  This team has not had a lead in regulation once all season.  The only lead the Chiefs had was when they kicked the field goal to beat the New Orleans Saints.  Instead of dwelling on how terrible this team is, it is time to look to the future.  With any future in the NFL that means what are we going to do...
