Much like the secondary and my dating life, its a numbers game.

2. He missed an epic cutback opportunity on the screen around the :55 second mark

3. He needs to learn to just run out of bounds. There were a handful of situations there where he got good yardage or the 1st down, running along the sideline, then chooses to lower his shoulder rather than stepping out. It's a small thing but he's too small to be doling out punishment. I think he'd be better served just saving the mileage.

4. Google says this ****er is 5'9" 216 lbs. Does anyone else think that's a crock of shit? I was thinking dude was 5'8" 185 lol

Agree with all of that.

Would add:

Our offense was at its best when he was playing. Seriously was a huge difference maker.

I don't understand how anyone could be against this move.

I think McKinnon looks smaller than he actually is -

Official Measurements from 2014 Senior Bowl
RB McKinnon, Jerick Georgia Southern 5'9" 209 pounds 8 3/8" hand. 29 1/2 arm

From 2014 NFL Combine
5 ft 8 7/8, 209 pounds, 8 5/8 hand, 4.41 40-yard dash, 40.5 vertical, 32 bench press

It is possible for him to have lost some weight, but his 32 bench press at combine tells you he is pretty solid. I think he is pretty much solid muscle so he has the weight, but does not look that heavy.

Jerick is a good add for the roster. I think the only issue with McKinnon, he needs to stay healthy.

He was by far the best back on the roster last year, but I still think the new additions should get a chance to show what they got. Anything is better than Darrel Williams though.

Wow, that is weird.

Looks like McKinnon is almost exactly the same size as Mark Ingram, who appears so much stockier, IMO.

Crazy..

Chiefs waive Center Darryl Williams at the same time they signed McKinnon and signed WR Skyy Moore.

Are you saying you don't know Jack?

Could not resist.

Please explain the question.

Looks like Pacheco will be the returner? I guess Pacheco and ealy didn’t impress? Maybe they can’t grasp the playbook? I like McKinnon and hope he starts.

rabblerouser 06-15-2022 12:30 AM

Best RB on the depth chart last year

threebag 06-15-2022 03:46 AM

He runs with a purpose and isn’t afraid to hit a hole.

SuperBowl4 06-15-2022 07:44 AM

AWESOME! Hope they cut CHE

The amount of competition in our backfield is going to bring out the absolute best in all these guys. Say what you will about each player's flaws but our overall talent at RB is at a level it hasn't been since we had Hunt and Ware bulldozing MF'ers all over the field.

Pretty clear Veach and Reid have decided that throwing numbers at the RB and WR position is the way to go, and I fully agree. Get a bunch of talented guys out there and see who wants it the most. You know Andy and Mahomes are going to make it work.

I'd rather have a good back and McKinnon rather than McKinnon and a bunch of JAGs.
