Keeping Jamaal Charles healthy...


With his upcoming role in the Chiefs offense. I wouldn't mind Charles gaining 10 or so pounds. I don't think his speed would decrease at all, but he would be more powerful and not so easy to take down. Lifting weights a bunch in the off season would be huge for him because he is going to get near 350 touches through special teams, the air, and the ground. He needs a strong frame to have a long career. We've seen two things that make for an urgency of gaining weight. The first, the quick hall of fame potential career of Larry Johnson come to an end. The second, the Robert Ayers hit in week 17 of the season. Seeing that small frame laying motionless on the ground was a scary moment. If immature defensive players are going to go hard after Charles when he ruins their defense for a quarter, a heavier body is EXTREMELY needed because hes going to be ruining defenses alot.

His first full season as a starter:

Stay under 300 carries unless his stamina and body shows otherwise

Aquire Logan Mankins, OG from NWE.

Aquire either, Andquan Boldin, Jordan Shipley, or Arrelious Benn so we aren't totally relying on the running game
