Chiefs Beloved: Your Favorite Chiefs. Round 1, Heat 6. Running Backs

**Rain Man** · 02-19-2015, 05:59 PM

This is the first of two heats of running backs.

Reminder: Pick your FAVORITE players, not the best players. Pick the ones that you enjoyed having as a Chief.

are we lumping FBs with the RBs? If so then add Kimble Anders and Tony Richardson as well.

Yep, running back position group will include both FBs and HBs. Two heats, so some others will arrive in the tourney later.

No love for Omar Easy?

I was always a Todd McNair fan. Never thought he got the respect or the use he deserved. One of my favorite McNair moments was when he was with the Oilers and took out Bill Cowher on the sideline after being hit, and Cowher comes up cussing him, lol.

3 for 3 so far.

I bought a car from Marcus Allen. Dodge Stealth.

Panty dropper back in the day. Did you get the neon underneath, as well?

**Bowser** · 02-19-2015, 06:11 PM

The Stealth, not Marcus. Although I'm sure Marcus could pull as easily as a Stealth could. Heh.

Red. All stock. I'm not Asian.

We have some good candidates here. I'll go with:

#1 - Christian Okoye. I was elated when we drafted him, and I was elated during his whole career with us. He made football fun. Sure, he may be bad at sending out photos, but holy cow he was a blast to watch.

#2 - Tony Richardson. This guy was likeable both on the field and off. It was great to watch his blocking technique. He was a thinking man's fullback as opposed to a big road grader.

#3 - Priest Holmes. He was a little aloof off the field, which drops him to my #3, but on the field he was a surefire favorite. His running style was so unique in terms of playing off his blockers. I loved watching that sweep left. And he scared me sometimes with the goal line leaps, but he was sure effective.

My honorable mentions are:

Todd McNair - loved this guy on the field. Loved him. It was almost worth having a third down just to watch him come into the game. And then on top of that he was a beast on special teams. Loved him on the field. But off the field, it seemed like he was kind of a thug, which cost him my vote.

Arnold Morgado. This is the guy who retired when the Chiefs cut him because he was such a Chiefs fan that he didn't want to play for another team. You have to love that. On the field he wasn't exactly a world beater.

Derrick Blaylock. Not so much as a running back, but Dante Hall owes this guy some money. Greatest darn kickoff return blocking escort ever.

Greg Hill. I know he's divisive, but I really liked him and didn't think he got a fair shot.

As far as Marcus, he doesn't make my list because he just seems arrogant as all get-out. Granted, he's got the resume to be arrogant, and I liked that he came here and got revenge against the Raiders, but I don't find him all that likeable.

And Larry Johnson? I love the fact that this guy truly loved football. He did that thing with his car interior and the Hall of Fame jerseys and stuff, and he planted the Chiefs flag in the end zone, which was an all-time Chiefs moment. He just ... you know ... he's just never going to be a favorite.

**Gadzooks** · 02-19-2015, 06:14 PM

Okoye
Word
Holmes

In that order.

If not for the dog abuse and stuff, McNair would've actually gotten my vote over Priest. He was an extremely entertaining player.

Shame on you for leaving off Kimble Anders.

From my days as a STH when they gave us a free jersey.

/edit Mike Cox makes the list but Anders doesn't?!?!
