sith13 1,746 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I don't know about his health but if 100% he will likely beat out anyone else for the #1 role as the power back in December/January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the signing So a guy off the street is better than current RBS? I dont think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If healthy I think he is an upgrade. I'm high on Darwin but the rest can't either protect the ball or stay upright after the first contact. Ware averaged better numbers even in his low seasons and can actually run up the middle, which is something we haven't been able to do all year long. Overall Ware has 3 fumbles in 340 attempts averaging 4.6 per carry. Since he's still young I think health is the critical part and probably the reason he remained a free agent this year.

Hard to imagine he’s anywhere near game shape. But he does know system and likely is healthy now. But you always have to be skeptical of street free agents this time of year.

I was surprised of the impact he made last year, Holthus mentioned several instances that Ware made play when a play had to be made FANATIC and DefensiveMan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnet 1,150 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 He has as been fairly solid with the Chiefs for years. I remember when he was going to be the primary guy, then got hurt, and Kareem Hunt took over. He's never made it back to where he was, but has always been dependable. I do wonder why he seems to never get signed by other teams. I'm thinking, whenever the Chiefs have released him, they must some kind of agreement that he may be called upon at anytime during the season, if needed.

Not an easy catch at all. Put us in position for Robinson to get us in FG range on the next pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the exclusive rights on Spiller but I'm not sure if it's the same with Ware. There's a very good chance that he simply wasn't healthy enough any point during the season.

DieHard 2,061 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 It’s funny they Damien, Darrel and Spencer are all 224. Sure seems like Damien is smaller and quicker while Darrel and Spencer seem bigger and more powerful. i see Shady then Thompson with Ware as a backup. At least for now. One more fumble and that might change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moons314 2,463 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Ware sucks, just like Damien. Put in a call to West,we can quickly assemble the worst group of RBs in the league! qnet and FANATIC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FANATIC 852 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Chiefs placed RB Darrel Williams (hamstring) on injured reserve. The Chiefs will move forward with Damien Williams (ribs), LeSean McCoy, Darwin Thompson and recently-signed RB Spencer Ware. This figures to be a committee, as coach Andy Reid stated, "We’re not fooling anybody here, (McCoy)’s not getting any younger, so it’s my responsibility to manage him as best I can, and I think I know him as well as anybody." McCoy could very well lead the Chiefs backfield in snaps and touches if both Damien and Darrel are sidelined in Week 14. Still, it seems incredibly likely that the team's sixth-round rookie will also be involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
