The only two guys above him in rushing yards had at least 70 more carries than he did, and they didn’t have that many more yards. He gets the most out of every run. Face it, this isn’t a one back league anymore. RBs can too easily get overworked and worn out before they’re 30 anymore, so having them split carries keeps them fresh. Just ask Larry Johnson.

Fair enough.. although, after he announced he was going to Fl, Cassel folded like a wet noodle…. and their offense did look pretty stagnant… so.. good luck with that Haley guy

You should probably go back for your GED and check the facts! In fact Oakland was missing Seymour, McFadden, and Asomugha and still beat the Chiefs 31-10 at Arrowhead. Now that they have a 3rd string running back that will follow behind carries to Thomas Jones 1st, because we know Charles lil ass cant carry the load, Jamaal Charles 2nd, and there McClain comes in with 3 carries a game, ooooooouch, thats gonna be dominant!

While we are at it, can someone tell the planet that before we crown Jamaal Charles a top 3 runningback, please make sure he leads the team with carries, and you wonder why his ypc was so high?????????

Try winning a playoff game since 1993 and come talk, because thats a fact that is out there and there is no running from! Until it happens expect every Raider, Charger, and Bronco fan to bring up because that is flat out terrible! The Kansas City Royals are impressed thats about it

Weis was there the whole season.

Facts, they’re not just for courtrooms. Study up on things before commenting, kid.

He was holding them down, and the pro game has passed him by. Getting rid of Weis is the best thing to happen this offseason for the team. Theres a reason he went back to college.

Must be something wrong with him for the Ravens to let him go.

i would have to agree…hue jackson had to know him very well from days of being oc in balt, and raiders never made any attempt.

With a real fullback, Jamaal is gonna be sick (again).

You don’t wanna play fb anymore so they get a full time fb in Leach and now you could get the chance you’ve been waiting 3 years for and u go to KC where they clearly are solidified at rb??And you will just block for them??? What am I missing here??? I used to enjoy watching ur 82 td run on youtube from time to time but now I really think that play changed ur whole mindset. P.S. That run was not happening with out that crucial lead block who just happend to be a man named Lorenzo Neal…the fullback.

My thoughts exactly. If he had stayed put he would have gotten more carries this yr. Charles carries the ball more than Rice. He just went backwards….imo

A good pickup for the Chiefs. Thomas Jones is a good back, but he is slowing down and KC had difficulties on the goal line and in short yardage last year.

Really, let it go.

I think he could’ve been the backup to Rice with Leach as FB. McClain proved he can run in 08.

Roster has been blown up this off-season, let’s hope it yields a SB

I think they will have a nice roster but step back in 2011, they ended 2010 slopppy and getting blown out twice in a row at home (raider and ravens).

Wies did a lot for that offense as well.
