Any team going against the new Saints’ “wet-paper-bag-defensive-scheme” is pretty much a runaway bet to be the conference offensive player of the week.

This is the explanation from Arrowhead Pride:
Jamaal Charles best friend in this game (besides the offensive line, of course) was fullback Nate Eachus. Charles had 10 carries in this game without Eachus on the field, those 10 runs went for just 32 yards. With Eachus, Charles carried the ball 23 times for 201 yards. So 3.2 yards per carry without a fullback and 8.7 yards per carry with one, it isn’t a stretch to say that Charles and Eachus were doing great work together.

On the 40 yd gain he probably could have beat the CB to the corner and housed it but he cut back instead. Either way, great game for Jamaal.

As for the Albert block, he was blocking the defender when the defender spun around. It made it look worse than it was. What killed NO on that run was their 2ndary overplayed the run and put themselves in a bad spot.

I keed, I keed!

Also, talentwise Charles is absolutely elite. In 2010 he would also easily have busted Jim Brown’s YPC record if it weren’t for moron Haley giving all those touches to Jones. Missed it by a few inches per carry. For all the complainers, take away the 91yd run and you still have 197 total yards & almost 4.5ypc. And let’s not kid ourselves, he was going to get that yardage anyways even if it took a couple more runs than that 1 big one.

The Raiders lost to a mediocre Chargers team and got blown out by a terrible Dolphins team. The Steelers were playing without their two best defensive players.

They aren’t much better off than the Chiefs.

Even I saw the tackle that Branden Albert put on the defender to break Charles for the 91 yard run. I guess if they don’t call it, it didn’t happen. Still good to see the 2012 Charles looking like the 2010 Charles.

Hate to break it to ya kids the team you beat by kickin 6 field goals is in the toilet. So I guess that means ya hovering around the bowl. Jamaal is cute though.

This guy has gone through a lot in the past year, and it’s great to see him come back strong.
