The Chiefs have shown they can do the power run game effectively with their late game drives to seal wins vs the Cowboys and Eagles. Also, JC's TD run vs the Jags, with Stephenson at TE, was a good example of this offense's ability to run with power when they want to. I think if AR started the game with power running and play action passing with Stephenson at TE until Fasano and Kelce are healthy, AS would be more effective and would better utilize his best attribute (play action pass) and WRs Bowe and Avery. I think the pass blocking would also improve if the oline were attacking defenders at the snap in play action instead of dropping at the snap in pistol/spread offense.

This.
I've stated it before.
If we run the Marty-WCO of the early 90's our team is ripe to rape faces.
Bang the ball, use PA, and keep the R/P plays a guessing game.
Alex is excellent at PA passing and we have the type of HB that demands respect.
Hopefully in year 2 Phat Andy has a DV epiphany...
