Which was awesome, but in reality he ran the ball 16 times for 66 yards during the bulk of the game. Hunt put up a ton of yards late in games too. Now I'm not bitching, but the stats don't tell the entire story.

Frankly, I find it odd that so many here were excited about drafting a running back in the first round last year based on how we know Reid uses backs. I think CEH is great, and I just hope we use this kids talent more next season.

There’s no need to evolve into an offense that doesn’t lean heavily on Mahomes/Hill/Kelce. That’s what makes this offense an all-time special group.

You have Clyde, and the OL is going to obviously be better. The run game will be better. But we don’t need to try and turn this into a 50/50 ish run/pass team. That plays into the opposition’s hand.

We just need our offensive line not to fall apart by season’s end. Truly.

We were excited because of his short area agility and his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.

You're talking about 18 carries? How often has Ceh had that or more this season? Three or four times? The bottom line is we need a running game that can scare the opposition and be productive!!..if we had one on sunday maybe things would have been different.

Aaron Rodgers had a run game, Tom Brady had a run game, Drew Brees had a run game, Russell Wilson had run game...but let's just rely on Pat 90 percent of the time? I simply don't agree...there's a reason why the guy is banged up right now smh.

Hell, they got 1st round caliber talent at picks 2-4. You’re more than willing to take your choice of a RB at 32 when you follow it up with that.

Just wait till next year. CEH will show you his “value” then.

CEH can do all he wants. He’s a really good solid running back. It was still a waste of resource to take one in the first

Yea a total “waste” :eyeroll:

What a stupid thing to say. The only way it’s a “waste” is if the player is a bust.

But from a value standpoint using a first on a rb is just not gonna max the value of the pick
