FANATIC 852 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 DAMIEN WILLIAMSRB, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS Speaking Thursday, coach Andy Reid replied, "We'll do that here," when asked if he'll use a RB-by-committee approach this season. "I did a little bit of that back when I was in Philadelphia," Reid said. " Kind of a running back by committee deal and we had some success with it. We’ll do that here. ... They all have their strengths and we’ll try to exploit their strengths there." Reid mentioned both Damien and Darrel Williams, Carlos Hyde, and rookie Darwin Thompson all in the same breath. Damien has missed almost all of camp with a strained hamstring but returned to individual drills this week. Hyde has gotten most of the run with the ones in his absence. Damien was a legit RB1 stud down the stretch and into the playoffs last season, but his injury may have spooked Reid. Damien has never been a true workhorse outside of the second half of last season.

FANATIC 852 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 This is why you dont give big bucks to DIVAS. Nice Raider fit though. Hard Knocks. LOL ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Antonio Brown has told the Raiders he will "not play football again" if the league does not allow him to wear his preferred helmet. Brown has reportedly played hooky from the team since late last week. It was believed he had left to seek a second opinion on his injured feet (he's dealing with severe frostbite from a cryotherapy mishap in France), but apparently the real reason for his absence is that Brown is unhappy over the league's new helmet requirements, a sticking point that has led to a "disconnect" between AB and his bewildered teammates. According to Schefter, Brown feels other helmets impede his vision and has flatly rejected any of the alternatives the Raiders have offered him. The seven-time Pro Bowler filed a grievance over the league's new helmet policy, which will be heard next week. Brown is a ticking time bomb right now.

FANATIC 852 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Cali Chief has it correct. In todays NFL backs are a dime a dozen. Paying Bell was crazy. This is a pass first league and opens it up for backs especially with Mahomes & Reid. Look around the league and you see unknown, un-drafted guys suddenly kicking but. Probably why Dallas does not really want to pay Elliot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 · Adam Teicher Thornhill running with starters at safety in team drills. Sorensen with the backups. First time I can remember seeing this at camp. Nick Jacobs Thornhill stride for stride with Hill. Mahomes chucks it deep to his outside shoulder. Sun in their eyes and Hill found the ball late to his outside shoulder and couldn’t adjust. The key part is Thornhill stride for stride with Hill at full speed. #Chiefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew they were going to be good this season, but they’re honestly even better/deeper than I thought!! If they don’t get hurt, offense may set @NFL records. And defense is improved.

Thegoatee 1,780 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I have a feeling Thompson will start getting a lot of reps as the season progresses. Hyde will start the year. Damian Williams will probably be in and out all year. Hamstring injuries suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is why do we need a backup Hback type? I know he was here before so maybe Andy just wants to kick the tires coming off an ACL. But just seems a bit odd to me anyway.
