In 2023
CHIEFS 1784 TOTAL RUSHING YARDS
OPPONENTS 1925 TOTAL RUSHING YARDS
CHIEFS RUSHING ATTEMPTS 417 - 4.3 PER ATTEMPT
OPPONENTS RUSHING ATTEMPTS 432 - 4.5

What do you think our rushing yards, attempts and per attempt will be this year?

In 2024
CHIEFS ______ TOTAL RUSHING YARDS
OPPONENTS _______ TOTAL RUSHING YARDS
CHIEFS RUSHING ATTEMPTS ____ - _____ PER ATTEMPT
OPPONENTS RUSHING ATTEMPTS ______ - _______

Why in God's name would he stick to a power rushing gameplan? Have you seen our receiving corps? Our QB? C'mon man, wtf?
This is a pass first team in a pass first league.

Hard to be a power running team when you almost always operate outta shotgun. I do NOT hope we run very much but I hope we run MORE on short yardage and do NOT run out of shotgun as much in these downs. With Steele and Perine now we have a better opportunity to do that.

Andy has not, will not, and should not go with a power running game plan. He's got Patrick Mahomes. Also I want no part of a "3 headed rushing backfield". I want Pacheco to be the RB on most drives, Steele should get a couple of drives to give him a breather, and Perine can have a few 3rd down plays. Snap distribution should be like this

Pacheco gets 65%-75%
Steele gets 20%-25%
Perine gets 5%-10%

Pacheco needs the bulk, because he eventually breaks a long one and I think he does better when he gets a feel for things.

I don’t see Steele getting a lot of work. Realistically this is probably a 2 headed attack.

Steele will play when the game is out of reach or we’re just moving the ball effortlessly on offense. I don’t see him getting much reps.

I'm assuming what is meant by power rushing gameplan, that when it is 2nd/3rd and 1, everyone would be confident that the run game could just drive straight forward and pick up the first down without the need for a bunch of strange formations, movements, or gimmicks. I'm all for it.

I just hope we run effectively. We can't be getting stuffed on 3rd and 1 and we have to get 4+ on first downs.

Andy should absolutely run the ball on some of those downs bc the boxes will be super light.

He did that pretty well in 2022 and I expect it to happen again
