Chiefs add RB Mike Weber to practice squad
 
Really liked this guy during the draft. 5’10” 210 lbs and runs a 4.47. Has nice contact balance and good vision

I’d take him over Darrel Williams

Oh wow. I'm actually surprised he never landed anywhere. He's a pretty solid RB.

Megatron96 01-08-2020 04:06 PM

He's literally the size of Barry Sanders. Obviously not saying he's the 2.0 or anything.

Seems to have good vision, decent burst, good balance. Change of direction is pretty good. Would be nice to see him in action against NFL defensive fronts though. Did he play at all this year?

Mike Webster?!!

Our center position is fixed!!!

It’s not every day you get to sign a Hall of Famer!

Imon Yourside 01-08-2020 04:31 PM

Has a little Mike Cloud in him for sure.

saphojunkie 01-08-2020 04:35 PM

Not that fast but I like his vision.

rabblerouser 01-08-2020 10:23 PM

Book 'em - SUPER BOWL BOUND!!

Titty Meat 01-08-2020 10:26 PM

Dude was a stud at Tosu perfect back for this offense

Barry Sanders was 5'8", 200. Weber is 5'10, 211lbs. I agree about everything else, though.

Yeah, I’ve probably read the thread title that way 30 times now.

I met him, was his 4th year with the Lions, IIRC. Sanders is 5' 9", and listed at about 209.

Eleazar 01-09-2020 12:12 AM

But we already printed em

milkman 01-09-2020 12:49 AM

Why are we talking about a practice squad guy who won't help this team this season?

T-post Tom 01-09-2020 01:16 AM

Jesse "Mother****ing" Haynes II

Okay... he is listed at 5’8” 200lbs on NFL.com and I can’t find a single thing anywhere that says otherwise.

Why do we talk about most of the things we talk about on CP?

xztop123 01-09-2020 06:19 AM

the rb carrousel in the nfl and especially this team makes me not even pay attention to the position anymore. but i think they’re doing it right. these guys are best used as mercenaries

I thought the same thing. Do we still have a roster spot since Thornhill went on IR?

Chris Meck 01-09-2020 07:12 AM

Well, I’m 5’ 8”, and he’s a little bit taller than me. Don’t know what to tell you.

Wonder how he'll like snapping to Mahomes instead of DeBerg this time around.

1. Because we like to watch and follow the Kansas City Chiefs team.

2. The team is made up of coaches and players.

3. Players on the practice squad are an injury away from being added to the team.

4. We have to consider the future for the team and a practice squad player from this year might be a starter the following year.

5. But most importantly, waiting for the game on Sunday.

Wow, totally forgot he spent time in KC

Pasta Little Brioni 01-09-2020 01:08 PM

And?

Wilson8 01-09-2020 01:20 PM

Good signing.

Most of the boxes check off on what the Chiefs look for in running backs.

He comes from two good sources for running backs with Ohio State and the Dallas Cowboys.

His stats were good at Ohio State. In 3 seasons of playing, Mike had 455 rushing attempts for 2,772 yards, 6.1 average, and 24 TDs. He had 54 catches for 297 yards.

During the Dallas Cowboys preseason (2019), Weber played in 4 games and had 22 rushes for 54 yards and 5 catches for 28 yards. Not exceptional stats, but at least he was playing. Cowboys thought enough of him to keep him on their practice squad for the season.

Also has the size and speed that Chiefs seem to like.

Hopefully he gets paid $8,000 per week for PS and gets to watch the Chiefs win a Super Bowl from the sidelines.

Yeah, he was pretty much all used up by that point, and still didn't do all that bad.

You might actually be 5’6 and1/4” since he’s 5’8”’and a little bit taller than you.
