Chiefs Are Bringing Some Running Backs In Monday

[Mr KLC]

The Kansas City Chiefs are bringing in familiar faces to try out at running back, including Charcandrick West and C.J. Anderson.

Three days after the release of running back Kareem Hunt, the Kansas City Chiefs will host a couple of free agent backs who could help replace his production when they bring in C.J. Anderson and Charcandrick West for a visit on Monday.

News broke on Sunday shortly after the Chiefs road win over the Oakland Raiders that general manager Brett Veach was going to kick the tires on some veteran help at the position. Chiefs coaches and execs will be plenty familiar with Anderson after watching him run for the Denver Broncos in recent years, and of course, West has been a familiar face in K.C. for years.

For the Chiefs, the team is deciding how they want to split the reps and develop the offense without Hunt as the central back, a player who was a tremendous asset as a fourth down bell cow who was also dangerous as a pass catcher in space. Spencer Ware is the new starter, at least in the interim, and the Chiefs also have scatback Damien Williams on the roster as well as rookie free agent Darrel Williams, who played behind Derrius Guice at Louisiana State last season.

NFL literally has guys who will handle this shit for them and yet here we are, still seeing players doing dumb shit over and over.

[Kermit]

I heard Hareem Kunt is trying out. Rumor has it that he has some talent.

That's a good point. As pro athlete, u should view yourself as a corporation. Have a hench-man handle this + stay out of the way.

If he didn't kick her, would he have gotten away with it ?

The Chiefs are set to sign running back Charcandrick West, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). West, of course, offers familiarity with the Chiefs’ system and should be able to hit the ground running.

West worked out for the Chiefs alongside C.J. Anderson, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards with the Broncos last year. Anderson would have represented a splashier addition, but West got the nod for his experience in Kansas City’s offense and special teams acumen, Josina Anderson of ESPN.com tweets. At the same time, Anderson had a “really good workout,” according to Rapoport, so he could be an option for the Chiefs if he’s needed.

The Chiefs turned to Spencer Ware as their replacement for Kareem Hunt, but he amassed only 47 yards on 14 carries against the lowly Raiders on Sunday. If Ware doesn’t impress in practice this week, he could quickly wind up in a timeshare with West, who was a member of the Chiefs from 2014-2017.

West, 27, enjoyed his most productive campaign came in 2015, when he managed 160 carries for 634 yards and four touchdowns. In 2016 and 2017, however, his rushing role with Kansas City declined. While he played more than 500 offensive snaps from 2016-17, West handled only 106 total carries, including just 18 last year.

of course he did. these women do nothing but non stop complain about everything and want to know every minute detail of the poor guy's habits and intentions. she probably deserved that first shove but he seemingly went too far.
