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.

Good post, but I don't agree with you on the pistol. The pistol could be very effective in playaction, if they choose to use it. The spread is a different story.
