ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Kansas City fullback Le’Ron McClain has agreed to terms with the Chargers. He will be the full-time fullback. It could mean Mike Tolbert – who is visiting the Chiefs – may be on his way out, but Tolbert runs the ball a lot more than McClain does. It would be surprising if Tolbert signed with the Chiefs with Hiillis in town.
Charles owners can not like this, at a min, Hillis will cut into his receptions and goalline opportunities.
Says the man whose glass is half full ;-)I don't know about that. charles made his yards in hard fast runs, not due to multiple carries. Having Hillis there to bludgeon defenses, so charles can take quick pitches outside or screens may keep his value up there. Taking pressure off the fixed knee. I kind of like it.
the chiefs are makin some questionable decisions
:nod: this could be Pittsburgh west, when Pitts had Bettis and co. for a lightning thunder approach.This ties in nicely with the Boss acquisition.
If the theory that KC will be using more 2 TE sets is true, we'll see a little more thunder and a little less lightning...and a lot fewer rain-bowes.
