You have to place a bet on whether Philip Lindsey can reclaim his old form. For a RB, that's a tall order that I would be okay if we passed on. We don't need to get every FA and a 3rd string RB when he comes in won't help this team. You have a two headed attack with DW and Clyde already, Lindsey would be the Mecole Hardman of our RB's, and we don't need another Mecole Hardman.

Ever played sports?

Sports have evolved since 1969.

Again, he won't be a feature back. He'll be a player that has a small handful of scripted plays every week.

No one will be keying in on Lindsay as some sort of tell as to what the offense is doing. You're acting like this a 30+ touch back whom teams will be watching for tendencies.

They'll be keying off Lindsay about as much as they key off of Noah freakin' Gray. Less even.

OH MY GOD **** YEAAAAAAA SIGN TTTHTIS BITTTTCHCHCHC

Buddy, c'mon.

If he has a small handful of scripted plays every week, that will cue the defense.

This isn't difficult. When you play sports, you constantly take cues, and if there's a guy who can't dribble or pass or handle the ball well or does one or two things exceptionally well, you key up on it.

So, why would the Texans release him? That'd be my first concern.

Texans went out of their way and traded their #1 receiver when they were competing for a SB. Not saying that Linday is some kind of stud that wasn't used properly, but the Texans judgement in these types of moves shouldn't be taken seriously.

What is it going to key? That he's not going to be blocking? That doesn't mean anything. Half our plays are rpo's anyway. I'm not for signing him but this is a dumb argument.

Looks like he brings his lunch pail to work half the time.

Oh JFC

The Chiefs mix up their specialty package plays every damn week. They rarely run the same play twice, and when they do, they run it out of different looks.

Lindsay can pass block well enough. He can chip. He can run out for a route. They can throw a screen to him. Fake a screen to him. Play action to him. Run him left. Run him right. Run him up the centers ass.

Quit acting like the only thing Lindsay can do is run up the center's ass. And quit acting like the Chiefs aren't exceptional at masking their plays. And quit acting like defenses are going to key in on a guy that MIGHT see 10 snaps a game.

Quit with this dumb, bullshit ass argument that feels like you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.

Or yea, sure Direkshun. The only thing Lindsay can do is run the ball and everytime he's on the field the Chiefs will hand it off to him. For sure dude. Whatever you say.

More concise than i could put it.

.... It already has.

You're quoting a bunch of stuff here that I'm not saying.

The entirety of which:

The Chiefs are not beyond being figured out. Defenses have figured them out much of this season.

Reid prefers RBs that can block, because it gives him an extra wrinkle to counter DCs. Lacking the ability to block is a signal to a competent DC that a section of the Chiefs playbook can be safely ignored when he's the RB in the huddle.

If Lindsay can't block, than he's not going to get snaps on this team.

That is the entirety of my position, and it's pretty much indisputable. Claiming I've said anything outside that position is incorrect.

We could actually run the ball outside with Lindsay for a change. Outside zone and pitch plays would add a whole new facet to our running game.

We could've been doing that with McKinnon. We haven't.
