Chiefs Coach Crennel Talks About Miami RB Javarris James

A lot of folks have predicted the Kansas City Chiefs selecting a running back in the 2010 NFL Draft to compliment Jamaal Charles. The life of a NFL running back is getting shorter and shorter as defenders get bigger and bigger and the hits come harder and harder (Wow, what a sentence).

Chiefs defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel, also the coach of the East team in the East-West Shrine game today, recently said he's excited about Miami running back Javarris James (6'1", 215 pounds).

Crennel said he's "shown flashes" throughout practice this week. James, the cousin to Edgerrin James, said his cousin told him "to go out there and do my thing and that’s all I can do to help myself."

Crennel, meanwhile, suggested James' vision will help him in the NFL.

Star-divide

"He’s shown good flashes," Crennel said. "He’s got good cutting ability, great vision. When a hole is closed, he can make the cut back and he can bounce it out. We’re excited about him."

ESPN draft guru Todd McShay said he's been perhaps the most "instinctive and versatile" running back on the East-West roster.

"In a somewhat thin crop of running backs this year," McShay wrote, "James has a chance to come off the board as early as the fourth round, where he will get a legitimate chance to earn a roster spot as a versatile contributing reserve."

So, keep an eye on Javarris James today. If Crennel is impressed with him, then the Chiefs will have plenty of notes on him come April.

Hard to tell

He hasn’t done jack with his new-found lightfootedness. He needs to put that 30 lbs back on.

All Lindell White does is score TD

He could be a good pickup for short yardage.

Lendale White wants to go to Sea to play for Carroll

I don’t think Pioli or Haley would want him

2009-10 Predictions:
1. Chiefs will win ATLEAST 6 games, which is a big improvement over 6 wins in 2 seasons
2. Succop will bring stability to the K position for the first time in years
3. Chiefs D will atleast double the number of sacks form last season
4. Cassel will be a top 15 QB
5. Todd Haley won't make a poster and jump around holding it up welcoming the Chiefs players to summer camp, I mean TRAINING camp

No interest in Lendale

He complained while splitting carries last year, then finally realized he was fool for doing so this year. Also, I wasn’t a fan of him mocking Steelers’ fans last year by stomping on their towel.

He hasn't been very productive since then

Why would you want that guy

Lendale is kind of a punk and he wouldn’t make it on this team under this coach. if we got him for nothing maybe id consider it.

The people who want him are Chiefs fans who own bbq restaurants in Kansas City...

Shame on you guys! Benefit the team and not your business… >:(

Hey Joel all you needed to add was "INTENSE SWEAT" into your sentence....

and you’d have an erotic headline for the next Jenna porno flick….

defenders get bigger and bigger and the hits come harder and harder

i.e. Intense sweat pounding action gets bigger and bigger and the hits come harder and harder…..see :)

Opinions are like A--holes, everyones got one.
