Chiefs | K. Smith could start Week 10

Chiefs | Likely to use running back committee
Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:24:52 -0800 Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports the Kansas City Chiefs are likely to use a running-back-by-committee with free-agent RB Larry Johnson (Chiefs) gone. The committee will include RBs Kolby Smith, Jamaal Charles and Dantrell Savage. Charles started and played more snaps in Week 9, but Smith could eventually take more of the workload. The team still appears hesitant to give the ball to Charles in running formations.
Chiefs | Running backs get limited opportunities in Week 9
Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:09:03 -0800 Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RBs Jamaal Charles and Kolby Smith combined to average more than five yards per carry in Week 9. However, the team gave the tandem the football only 10 times during the game. The Chiefs ran a total of 12 running plays, while QB Matt Cassel threw 39 times. The Chiefs' opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars, surprised the team by playing mostly a 4-3 defense during the game. "It wasn't what we practiced against," head coach Todd Haley said. "I thought for the most part we had an idea of what was going on. (The offensive imbalance) was all predicated (on the defense). On a lot of our runs, there was a lot of pressure coming. They were bringing safeties from both edges, run blitzes we call them."

Chiefs | K. Smith activated from PUP list

Chiefs | Smith unlikely to get many carries
Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:28:44 -0800 Kent Babb, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Kolby Smith (knee) likely will not get many carries in Week 9.
Chiefs | Charles has opportunity to be featured running back in Week 9
Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:42:43 -0800 Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Week 9 will provide the Kansas City Chiefs with an opportunity to get a good look at RB Jamaal Charles as their featured back due to the suspension of RB Larry Johnson. "I think this is an opportunity for Jamaal," head coach Todd Haley said, "without a doubt." Charles makes more sense as a featured back in Week 9 over RB Kolby Smith (knee) because Smith hasn't played since injuring a knee midway through last season. However, Charles has only 23 carries in seven games this season, and most have been draws and other runs out of passing formations. Charles also has had fumbling issues.

Chiefs | Ko. Smith had to learn how to walk again
Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:46:34 -0700 Josh Looney, of KCChiefs.com, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Kolby Smith (knee) said he had to learn how to walk again while undergoing almost a full year of rehab on his knee. Smith said, "My leg was in a cast for six weeks straight. Then I had to learn how to bend it and lift it again. It was a whole bunch of stuff." Smith said he went through his first hit last week. He added, "It was instant. Right there all of the jitters went out of my and I'm good now. I am very confident in my body."
