Nice find man. That’s. …. …. I dunno. That’s something. |
Fun watching him, he waited on blocks to develop and showed some patience.
|
Guy reminds me a little of Charlie Garner. I’m glad we finally have Rb that make defensive coordinators sweat a lil bit and have to actually game plan for! He’s like our own Kamara with all the screens and short passes. Guy has good vision and has the speed to make the corner. It should open things up for the offense even more! Now watch Andy trot CEH out on the field the first series against the Bills! Lol

This dude balled out and shows he has vision, patience, and burst.
I honestly don't want CEH back... he's the Alex Smith of Running Backs. |
he kicked ass
whether he is wanting a contract here, or performing for a contract somewhere else---running like that moves us forward in the playoffs. |
All I can say is if he's not the featured back for the rest of the post season, it will be the biggest personnel mistake Andy has made since he's been here.
He's so obviously better than everyone else at the position, you have to keep riding him. |
Cannot WAIT to see much more him going forward, he has the juice to exploit the edge, and runs tough between the tackles as well
I was just worried sick he was gonna get killed from overuse last night, he took some brutal licks…would’ve liked to see Gore spell him quite a bit more, because we NEED this dude down the final stretch |
Only issues I'm worried about with this guy are ball security and injury.
If he can stay healthy and hold onto the football, he is easily the most dangerous RB we've got on the roster. And it isn't close. His speed and quickness just adds a whole new element to this offense. Some of those 10+ yard runs he was breaking off last night would have gone for 2-4 yards had they been carried by CEH or Williams, particularly the few he bounced outside. |
Guys is it me or does he just seem way faster than the rest of our RB's???? Its like when they would put another RB in they looked like the had cement shoes on or something.
Plus he seems like he is tough. I know his history is getting hurt and I can see it coming but after a few games I kinda feel this guy should be our starter until he gets hurt. Has a big of that Jamal game changing speed. |

McKinnon allowed the Chiefs to play how they should have played in the first part of the season.

He looked so good running to the outside and actually beating defenders to the edge before cutting upfield. He was electric in the screen game as well.
Patrick seemed to actually like and trust throwing him the ball, which is key. He looked better last night than Clyde has looked all year. |
I don't remember what part of the game it was but he had a run last night where he got around two yards and instead of just pushing forward he made a couple of jump steps and went back to the left and got like a 12 yard run. I can't see any of our other running backs doing that.
|
If it's gonna be him and Darrel Williams for the remainder of the playoffs, we need a nickname for the duo.
Something like 'Fire and Explosion, and Darrel'. |

It was great blocking, but most of our backs get maybe 5 or 6 yards here. McKinnon has enough burst to round that corner for 10+. Just haven't seen this all season long. |

Andy's offense just unlocked 2018 mode |

McKinnon is the one of the few RB Kyle Shannahan has given a payday to. That is pretty telling.
Veach has said before his preference in rbs is more of a one cut downhill guy. Hopefully this opens his eyes a bit. Because our offense always seems to be so much more explosive with the quick shifty guys |
Dude needs to keep getting the ball

Just saw that he received 78% of the snaps, 12 of the Chiefs 16 rushes and all the RB pass attempts.

As a stark comparison, I worry about whether or not guys like CEH and Darrel Williams can produce unless there are massive holes and running lanes. Looking at the numbers, McKinnon's only had 567 career careers in 6 seasons. I'm not going to do a deep dive into the game logs, but I'm not sure I ever remember the guy being a bell cow/feature back. |

The most impressive start for the guy is that he has 22 million in career earnings on 567 carries! Love this dude. Hope Andy rides him!

He is deadly in the screen game and has speed to burn. Just what this team needed for the SB run.
CEH needs to ride the bench, we can do without his slow-plodding 3 yard runs. |
Jerick McKinnon has always been a good athlete.
He was a QB that was mainly a runner at Georgia Southern. 2012 Georgia Southern QB/RB 14 games, 1,817 rushing yards, 20 TDs, 597 passing yards, 7 TDs, and 3 Ints. 2013 Georgia Southern QB/RB 10 games, 1,050 rushing yards on 161 attempts, 12 TDs, 171 passing yards, 4 TDs, and 1 int. At his combine he ran 4.41, 40-yard dash, 32 reps on bench press and over 40" on his vertical. He was drafted in the 3rd round by the Minnesota Vikings. 2014 Minnesota Vikings, RB 11 games, 113 attempts, 538 yards, 27 catches, 135 yards, 0 TDs. Adrian Peterson was on that roster but only played 1 game. Matt Asiata was the main back. 2015 Minnesota Vikings, RB 16 games, 52 attempts. 271 yards, 2 TDs, 21 catches, 173 yards. Adrian Peterson was the main back. 2016 Minnesota Vikings, RB 15 games, 159 attempts, 539 yards, 2 TDs, 43 catches, 255 yards, and 2 TDs 2017 Minnesota Vikings, RB 16 games, 150 attempts, 570 yards, 3 TDs, 51 catches, 421 yards, and 2 TDs. Split time with Latavius Murray. 2018 San Francisco 49ers - injured ACL right knee 2019 San Francisco 49ers - injured 2020 San Francisco 49ers, 16 games, 81 attempts, 319 yards, 5 TDs, 33 catches. 253 yards, 1 TD His problem has been two years of a major knee injury. ACL and LCL Hopefully Kansas City has figured out when to use him for the playoffs, so he is ready to go. |

Our screens last night were amazing. Left, right, middle… with the big hogs out front blocking. Good for McKinnon for making the most of these:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"> Jerick McKinnon Game™ <br><br>12-61 rushing<br>6-81-1 receiving <a href="https://t.co/KdkgIws7IW">pic.twitter.com/KdkgIws7IW</a></p>— EDDIE HIGH (@EddieHigh) <a href="https://twitter.com/EddieHigh/status/1483127901319008259?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 17, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> I wonder if we unveil a package with Mecole in the backfield receiving some of these… might not be believable enough to sell him being a pass blocker though, so it may not work. But that acceleration with blockers in front would be game changing. |

It was fun watching him run. I don't think that he was overused at all. He only had 12 carries. If anything, he could have had a few more.
On a side note, I saw Mitch interview him on Chiefs Rewind after the game. He sounds just like Dave Chappelle. Lol |
The new Damien Williams.

I'm fine with signing him to another year, but dude is 29 with injury issues. He's made his money, so a team like KC is the perfect place for him IMO. |

For a guy that has had to deal with some tough injuries, McKinnon plays with a lot of physicality for his size. He finishes runs with shoulder pads into the tackler. Incredible pickup for the vet minimum even with his time on IR this year.

McKinnon has always been a plus RB.
He's just never healthy, including earlier this year. He can be a great addition right now but that's all he is. He could get hurt again on Sunday because he's made of glass. |
Hopefully he can stay healthy and continue to have a very positive impact.

Swag.

The McKinnon Game also showed us that we don't need to pick RB with a first-round pick. You can find a Kareem Hunt in the 3rd round. You can find a McKinnon type back in FA. CEH is fine for depth but we need more McKinnon-type athleticism in the backfield to unleash this offense. |

Pittsburgh viewed him as a legit playmaker. One play, their D sent two guys to cover McKinnon leaving Robinson wide open.

That guy has been wrong more than anyone I've seen post here, and he's usually unnecessarily belittling people in the process. |
I watched the full highlights from the previous game and there are just so many plays he made that we’ve been begging CEH to make that he simply can’t do. I’ve posted before as well that CEH seems to have bad spatial awareness which is why his receiving game leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t believe we all of the sudden had new magical screens and rb passes but it’s just that McKinnon gets himself into better spots.

He feints inside to set up the LB before breaking into space. He gets his body in a position to run with the ball as he's catching it. He's patient enough to wait for things to set up before using his speed to his advantage. He's just a better fit and by a fair amount. |

What a remarkable visual. |

That TD run a few weeks back where he bounced off the line and then went nuts in the end zone just looked so dorky. He is just not intimidating in any way, shape or form. He's kind of a twerp, there's really no kind way to state it. I'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but man he just isn't good. |
I’d try to get Matt Brieda as well this offseason. Same type of back. 4.38 speed with vision.
|
Such a good player man.
