Let me explain.

Herm not only ran into 8-9 man fronts but wouldnt deviate his playcalling enough to stop attacking the right a gap when we were clearly outmatched when doing so. Foolish.

We ended with the second highest per carry average rushing in the NFL (according to nfl.com), so we were productive, just not consistant.

Having Haley instead of Herm and Goff inwtead of Jones should help us return to having an effective and productive rushing attack.

Nonsense.

The Chiefs have a center who is too tall for the position and a right tackle who isn't strong enough to play the position. Mike Goff will help, but it's not going to take away our complete inability to run to the right side.

And given that our protection will probably be just as spotty as last year, I can see Haley being forced to run more shotgun sets. And if he runs more shotgun sets, LJ is not going to fare well.

Our run offense is probably going to be mediocre this year. I'm fine with that, but we have to be realistic.

Um guess what they're still gonna play close to the line the Chiefs don't have any WR that will demand a double, the line isn't good enough to hold blocks long enough for the WR's to get downfield...and we don't have any real vertical threat.
