Chiefs | Charles rushes for over 100 yards Week 10
Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:06:42 -0800 The Associated Press reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles rushed for 103 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries in Week 10. It was the Chiefs' first rushing touchdown of the season.
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 | Charles, K. Smith combine for 10 carries Week 9
Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:42:22 -0800 The Associated Press reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles rushed for 36 yards on six carries in Week 9 while RB Kolby Smith rushed for 17 yards on four carries in the game.
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, Charles split carries Wednesday
Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:33:33 -0700 Kent Babb, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RBs Kolby Smith and Jamaal Charles split most of the practice time with the first team Wednesday, Oct. 28.
Chiefs | Charles seeing limited action
Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:29:47 -0700 Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles has mostly been used as a third-down or change-of-pace back this year. He has been handed the ball just 15 times in five games.
Chiefs | Charles could be running out of time to prove worth
Thu, 08 Oct 2009 20:47:01 -0700 Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles' time to prove his worth to the team could be running out. RB Kolby Smith (knee) is eligible to be activated later in October, and Smith could become the team's No. 2 running back ahead of Charles. RB Dantrell Savage is another option to become the primary backup to RB Larry Johnson. Charles could still figure into the team's plans. If the Chiefs don't view him as a regular, then he could still be used as a spot player capable of causing matchup problems for opposing defenses.
Chiefs | Week 2 Inactives
Sun, 20 Sep 2009 08:45:06 -0700 The Kansas City Chiefs have declared OG Andy Alleman, TE Brad Cottam, RB Jamaal Charles, QB Matt Gutierrez, LB Pierre Walters, CB Ricardo Colclough, WR Terrance Copper, QB Tyler Thigpen inactive for Week 2.
