Kimani Vidal

He played two of 16 snaps on third and fourth downs.

Uh, late in the game, Kimani Vidal was out there in catch-up mode.

There was also, like, a flea flicker early on where they did not trust Omarion Hampton.

This is on, on a first down, I believe, and Kimani Vidal was out there for that flea flicker.

And then just kind of big picture, if you watch all the Keaton Mitchell runs, it's all the runs to the sideline, and then all of the runs-

Yes

Do you think we're headed in a direction where he is the, quote-unquote, "running back one," or is this just a 50/50 split where really both of them aren't going to matter in the long run?

I think it's gonna be a committee, but I think it's gonna be a committee where they're gonna use the fullback in pass protection snaps.

They have 10.

He throws a pass at Kimani Vidal that I did not like, and then he throws the ball to Q on third and one, and Q catches the ball.

He runs 21 yards.

Instead of pitching it back to Ladd-McConkie, he just throws himself out of bounds, and I'm kind of like, did you not know the sequence or what was going on there? So I thought that was kind of a mistake by them before the half, but whatever.

But it's not the most imposing on-paper matchup in the world, and only Cowboys-Ravens has a higher game total than Bills-Chargers right now.

RB 15 for Amari and Hampton, I'm worried that we do see some touches siphoned away to Keith Mitchell.

Maybe they actually get Kamandi Vidal a little bit more involved now because of those fumbles.

Haven't heard anything, just something to keep an eye on.

He was able to go out and say, hey, these guys locked him down.

They locked down a really great running back.

They kept their receivers in check.

Didn't matter who was a quarterback.

Next up here on 99.9 The Fan.

A former colleague of mine, Mo Moten, who writes for Bleacher Report, he covered the Las Vegas Raiders for a podcast, Silver and Black Tonight Shows, that I had a part in when I worked in Las Vegas many moons ago.

Mo Moten suggested the Carolina Panthers need to make a move at running back.

because of the Jonathan Brooks soft tissues, he's weak to weak kind of thing, and HN's out, and you have A.J. Dillon, but depth at running back is important because Chuba Hubbard is consistent, but you've never given him the chance to be the one back, and maybe the Carolina Panthers won't actually ever give him that opportunity.

You know that we call him El Perfumito.

Kimani Vidal for men.

[laughs]

'Cause it sounds like some nice cologne, right?

No lo vimos suficiente.

Hay armas, Pancho, hay jugadores a los que le puedes soltar el oboe de Justin Herbert.

¿Y sabes qué? También me encantaría que llamaran a Kimani Vidal, Foreman, a que le ponga un perfumito, una aromita a este ataque ofensivo para que le dé ese thunder and lighting, and lightning ahí por el ataque terrestre y también por aire en cuanto a la dupla que pueda hacer con Omarion Hampton.

Hay muchas opciones, Pancho.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts, but I don't think it's necessarily close either.

I mean, I like Keith Mitchell, Kimani Vidal there.

Alec Ingold got a couple carries as well.

So I think they will be creative getting all three backs involved, like McDaniel said, in the offseason.

I would not expect him to have like 15 rush attempts in this game.

So even though Kimani Vidal will mix in, I think Hampton is going to have plenty of volume, enough opportunity to blow way past this.

I would love like if you could do, you know, adjusted hires and go to like 100 yards and a touchdown on Hampton.

Obviously, we're lowering the odds that happens, but I feel like there's a very strong chance he hits that.

Trey Lance, who looks like he has won the number two quarterback job behind Justin Herbert.

Jarrett Patterson, another member of that running back room, along with Kimani Vidal.

also re-signed this offseason so lots of money for players they were very I want to call them loyal this front office to players who have contributed and fit into their system bought it in their program whatever it is you want to say who played valuable roles for them they got paid again lots more names than this but those are the ones that we thought were most important

As far as where they spent their outside money, they brought in Dalvin Tomlinson to make a good run defense even more stout, because why not? Only $6.5 million, which is a pretty good deal to me for what Dalvin brings to the table.
