Knile Davis

He's back. We have seen him have some solid games in the RB slot. He can fill in this week and knows the offense.

 I always thought that to be a no brainer..came up big a time or two & he does know  the offense

The Chiefs also brought in another D lineman and released Devey.  Seems a little thin in the O-line so hope no one else gets hurt.

I am glad to have Davis back.

Knile Davis once said he should be the starting running back. He was on the same team as Jamaal Charles at the time. Sure, confidence is a good thing, but there is a difference between confidence, and a lack of humility. I believe Davis began to read his own headlines, and felt he was better. Instead of learning to hit the hole, and run to daylight, Knile Davis worked on footwork during the off season of 2015. Indeed, when he got the ball, Davis danced around, and did not hit the open hole. Part of his problem seems to be vision. Contrast that to Jamaal Charles, who's rare ability to see, and adapt to the defense has made him the most productive back per play, perhaps ever. Charles is among a small group of backs. Tony Dorsett, Barry Sanders, and Jamaal Charles had that ability. There are plenty of others who have done well, who did not. In fact, most backs in the NFL are successful because they make one move, and hit the hole that is supposed to be open. The game is just too quick in the NFL.

 

Knile Davis can help the Chiefs. He knows the offense, and has the speed to make big plays. He just needs to swallow some pride, and understand his role. Even Jamaal Charles is not who he once was, and may never be when he gets healthy. The Chiefs have some good offensive lineman, and the holes are there. If he gets a shot again, Knile Davis just needs to rely on his speed, and trust the OL is doing their job. No dancing allowed.

We'll lose the ball.

We'll lose the ball.

I bet someone will find it. It never really gets lost, only misplaced.

Man, that is just a perfect description. I agree 100% with all of it.  He has speed, strength, and size.  He just cannot see everything developing and instantly react in an improvisational way. He just can't.  He has to merely do what you said.  Know the play and where it is supposed to go, and run as hard as he can immediately to that place.  If the hole is plugged, its plugged.  But dancing around will get you  minus 1-3 yards.  Better to get none on many runs and also blast to the second level on a few.  Pass block on passing plays. An RB can make a decent living in the NFL like that.  All he needs to do is hold onto the ball, not dance, bang into them, make them tired, and keep them honest.  He'll get about 10 snaps at most.

You are very knowledgable.  Some might even call you a wise guy.
