Jamaal Charles To See 10-12 Carries A Game?

Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards told the media that rookie RB Jamaal Charles would see 10-12 carries a game in 2008. This was in context of talking about Larry Johnson’s workload. Edwards said Johnson would be “lucky” to get 30 touches a game in 2008, but that he’d still see the workload of a featured back.

It’s interesting that Edwards is talking about this, because it seemed like an obvious assumption. The real news here is that Charles is likely to see more action than many of us thought in year one, and that Kolby Smith appears to be third on the depth chard. Charles’ dynasty value just took a solid step in the right direction with these comments. More to come.
