ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs ****The Clyde Edwards-Helaire Thread*****

Why do you guys hate on our players so much? It's not his fault they drafted him in the 1st. Also not his fault that his injuries have been so nuts. Dude is a stud, if the gall bladder thing is true that would severely hurt him last year. Just need the get him going and commit to the run game. He had 26 carries for 161 yards in the only game I've seen them actually lean on him.

I hate the pick not the player. Just don't see what made them think a 5'7 207 guy who isn't THAT fast could be a bell cow back.

I think he could easily put up half of that running and receiving

1500 yards is possible.

I'd be much more excited to see him get 5-600 receiving. That's where I thought he'd be deadly, and he's sucked at it so far.

50 yards rushing and receiving pg is almost 2000 ap yards

What happened to those btw?

CEH took an obvious step back last year. His first year was good. I'm not sure what to expect this year but I really like Ronald Jones and the Rutgers kid.

I said this when we drafted him, but I actually PREFER my RBs to be under 6'0

I know 5'7 is a far cry from 6'0 but I hate watching tall RBs run so upright. It's so ineffective. I know many of them figure out how to run with a lower center of gravity, but it's certainly a lot tougher to do.

Would rather have a bowling ball than a bowling pin.

So like someone who is 5’10 225

But I was told Taylor couldn’t catch so I was all in on CEH

I don't watch college, so I knew nothing about him until after KC picked him.

But watching a few highlights, it sure seemed like he ought to be a nightmare catching balls out in the flats and punishing teams for the two deep coverage.

Still don't quite understand why that wasn't the case.

CEH has a tiny catch radius- it really limits his potential impact in the passing game

I'd like to introduce you to the QB of the Kansas City Chiefs

Catch radius doesn’t really matter for RBs.

Most good receiving backs are small.

What has limited CEH in the passing game is his pass blocking and their refusal to use him much on long downs because of it.

Signing RoJo tells me they’re planning to use CEH more in the passing game this year though.

How much pass blocking upside does a 5'7 player have in the NFL? Either keep a TE in to block and/or you put more quick passes in the gameplan for him. JUST DO IT.

I personally think CEH was made to wreck light boxes and also be a weapon out of the backfield in heavy personnel.......that's the way I use him on Madden anyway

Have you watched the games? Cause all I see is him running through wide open holes or run into the backs of his lineman. All he had to do was cut left and or right and there was a wide open hole.

My wish is he looks like a different back this season, but I won't get my hopes up. If he doesn't come out the hair on fire I hope the hell they don't keep giving him snaps over the better back.
