Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

Time to bust out Dantrell Savage in Chiefs backfield?

Not sure what the status is of Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles. We do know that he left Sunday's game with a high-ankle sprain and we also know that high-ankle sprains are usually nasty.

With no LJ and possibly no Charles, we may see rookie Dantrell Savage right behind Kolby Smith.

I'm All For It

He’s been a hard worker…might as well see what he can do in the backfield since Jamaal Charles is likely to be out for awhile.

So Was Steve Slaton

And he’s having a pretty solid season in Houston.

I've heard of him

+1

I haven’t hear the severity of JC’s injury, has anybody else?

I haven't

He jogged off the field pretty quick I thought. didn’t seem to be too bad.

My +1 was to UC

He has some bulk to him, he is much bigger than Warick Dunn is.

Yup

He’s short, but he’s got enough bulk to take a pounding. And he seems to have wheels, so I think he could be fast enough to do damage. Only way to find out is to play him.

High Ankle Sprain

Usually that means about three weeks to a month out of action.

He needs some better blocking on returns.

Use him to run the draw and on screens and swing passes. Let’s see what he can do in space.

That makes me nervous.

The Chiefs are plagued with injuries. I’d hate to see him get hurt trying to run some kind of 3rd down and 18 conversion up the middle for Herm and then lose him for a couple weeks or a month as well.

by WMR on Oct 28, 2008 1:20 PM CDT reply actions  

Yup

Let D Nasty get a few touches. I think kolby is a good back who just needs more exp.

What about Jackie Battle?

Let him get some carries, maybe he can find some rythm, but hell yes if Daren Sproles is big enough to get things going, Savage could very well do the same. If our o-line could block.

by Eric Allen on Oct 28, 2008 6:10 PM CDT reply actions  

If Charles is actually hurt

Battle will be activated…we will always go into a game with at least 3 RB’s active.

Charles Will Likely Be Inactive

Every time I’ve seen a player get a high ankle sprain that guy’s usually out for at least two weeks.
