Nikolozi’s Crazy Idea of the Week: Debut Edition

Great idea. Disagree with Bush, like everyone else, I would question the need. How about Michael Bush, RB, 6'1" and 245 lbs. from the Faiders, as a future replacement for Jones and compliment to Charles. He would answer the Power Back, short yardage need. Another possibility could be La'Ron McClain, FB/Short Yardage back, 6'0" and 260 lbs. He would be an upgrade at the FB Position, and a scary short yardage power back. Imangine him at RB following Asamoah at FB. An Undrafted Free Agent that could be an out of the box type would be Baron Batch, Texas Tech, 5'9" and 210 lbs.,RB. One of those short, squat, hard to hit backs, who runs leaning foward.

Nick, Great post and great idea. We at least have Battle and a cadre of FBs to back up Jones. Behind Charles, I don't believe McCluster is the answer so really we have no one that can fill that role. Keep 'em comin'.

Do not feel too bad my friend. I am a currently in Iraq for the fourth time. Our Chiefs keep me connected with the life I know and love. I have been in the service 8 years and at war for four of them. I know exactly what you mean! I love serving but it is very lonely much of the time. I am grateful to have my family, friends, and Chiefs in my life!

Great post!!! Love posts that get us thinkin' and get the football juices flowing. With that said... I liek the idea of Bush for more reasons than you stated. Good teams are always trying to reinvent themselves and having Bush and JC on the field at the same time creates mismatches made in heaven.. for the Chiefs that is. Maybe Cassel could help recruit him. You know they were both on the 2004 USC roster together... perhaps the best college team ever!!! We could use some of that vibe.

I like the idea but I don't like what we'd have to pay for him. I'd rather see that money spent on depth at safety and the line on both sides.

I was thinking about this possible trade the other day actually, and while it would make our running attack pretty ridiculous, we don't really need any more specialists. We already have two punt returners, and two scat backs in McCluster and Charles. And while we might have some cap space, I think it would be better utilized in retaining players we already have, like Brandond Carr and Tamba Hali. With that said, I would love it if we signed a power back like Mike Tolbert from the chargers. Our offense would be incredible. I would not complain though if we brought in Bush. I feel like Bush has never been used correctly by the Saints, so it would definitely be an interesting project.

Great debut there Nikolozi! I think we should look at a replacement bruiser back first however. It would be interesting to see bush in a KC jersey though. Talk about Charles carries per game controversy on AA! FYI: when posting if you use the "insert more tab" instead of pagebreak you won't have to click page two after the jump.

These are indeed crazy ideas. Like the pluck of your suggestions though, but we really a bruiser type back to run up the middle and between the tackles not another outside runner

I doubt it will happen but I like the idea. Especially if we can utilize a great blocking fullback (Bannon?) to open holes and help keep them all from taking too many hits.
