It's probably a one year rental that's dirt cheap and helps with very thin depth at running back. Again even if he's 70-80 percent to what he was pre-Jets there's no downside here

well, I mean, he's a talent.
As a runner, I think he's a poor fit. I actually was concerned he might go to like the Raiders or the Titans or something. He fits that big, straight ahead line kind of thing. as a receiver, yeah, he's a good receiving back, and I'm sure Andy can find ways to use him. He was inexpensive to grab, and it keeps him away from teams that could use him to hurt us. Anyone that thinks he's going to solve our problems running the ball is going to be disappointed I think. |
Takes a lot of pressure and some workload off the rookie. Plus third and short. Patrick and HB can deal with any locker room stuff. Nice Bart!

Clyde is an excellent receiver. Williams doesn't have the same route tree, but has proven to be a good receiving back. I mean, maybe Bell is a better receiver, but how much efficiency difference are we talking? I ain't mad about it. He was released, so he isn't costing us. Nabbing him keeps him away from rivals that could use him to hurt us in January- so it's all good. |

But there's no downside. At best, he's another weapon and makes the offense harder to stop. At worst, they cut him and they're out nothing. |

For one, depth. If Clyde pulls a hammy tomorrow, we had nothing behind him at all that could threaten a defense or even be trusted to make plays. Now they’ve got that piece. Currently, defenses are throwing these 8 man zone coverages at us and he can really help in that area as a short passing option who is very hard to tackle in space. |
The man can block, run and catch but he doesn't fit?

I assume he tested today, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. Practice on Wednesday. He’ll see some action vs the Donks. |

Clyde can't play every down, and he's going to need a breather here and there. I would also say that Bell does make a good slot receiver if needed. I would also argue that Bell is a good insurance policy, should (god forbid) something happen to Clyde. If Bell decides to go all Terrell Owens and being a attention whore/prima donna, then the Chiefs can just cut him with minimal cap charge. This is a very low risk, high reward type of move. |

I mean Bell's a good receiving back, but is he really BETTER at that than Clyde? It's cool, I ain't mad about it, because we didn't have to pay and arm and a leg for him. And it keeps him away from teams that could use him to hurt us in January. I just think he's kind of an odd fit. Bad fit as a runner stylistically, but good receiving back, which Andy can always use. It's cool, I just think it's kind of weird. But I ain't mad about it. I'm not picking this hill to die on. I sure would feel better if we had signed a starting quality OG or TWO. |

Darryl Williams Darwin Thomspson Deandre Washington While 'solving' positional weakness is nearly impossible in-season, you don't think he HELPS our problems at running back?:hmmm: |
