I don't think he's practicing yet. He was designated to return, but I haven't seen him on the roster yet (that's why he's not on injury reports).

Without a full week of practice, Andy usually won't play guys.

I would be surprised if he plays much at all this week.

They reported he and Kyle long were out practicing yesterday, and CEH has been designated for return.

But that gives them 3 weeks to actually pull him off the IR. It doesn't mean they've done it yet or will do it imminently. I would be surprised if they do.

It's not a good thing for us to do, as we might as well just tell the defense what's coming before the snap.

Makes me think of the old Tecmo Bowl games when the defense called the right play and they all crashed the line and sack the QB before he had a chance to hand off or pass.

Its intellectual dishonesty at it's very best.

The reason for less points scored is because of Mahomes issues, not anything to do with missing CEH.

The Chiefs averaged 30+ without Tyreek in 2019. Using this logic, CEH is more important than Tyreek because we dipped 10 points without CEH and really didn't dip at all without Tyreek.

Even if he squares his shoulders and gets low, he plows forward for 5 yards and a first. Instead McKinnon got his feet knocked out from under him and went straight down. CEH is shifty - I'm not sure he gets the clean miss for 25 but he absolutely gets down and drives forward for a 1st down at about the 50 yard line.

The 3rd and 1 run from Gore was just AWFUL. They had an easy 1st down there if he just follows his pulling G (Thuney). Instead he bounced left, into the teeth of the defense and the extra man that opened up by Thuney's pull. Stuffed at about the 50, punt.

And the throw to Williams near the goal-line. I was floored he didn't get that angle but he's just soooooo slooooooow. That was a walk-in TD for a genuine starting caliber back. CEH gets that one easy because he's up to speed pretty quickly. Williams, OTOH, just spun his wheels, lost the angle and was brought down. After the subsequent false start we had to kick a field goal.

That's 4 points and 2 first downs at mid-field, all attributable to a different 'alternative' to CEH and all plays that I'm fairly certain CEH makes.

CEH isn't an elite runningback but he's not a lousy one. And our alternatives are, frankly, pretty lousy.

The Chiefs shouldn't have drafted CEH where they did but they still need him.

It appears you watched the same game breakdown I did.

Mahomes was doing what everyone said he needs to do, players were just losing 1 on 1 battles they shouldn't have

The Chiefs YAC overall on short passes was non-existent in the Green Bay game but especially in the screen game with Darrel and McKinnon.

JFC break a tackle, out-physical the defender, show some speed… make a damn play.

True. But I was all in on Jonathan Taylor, so I'll just stick to thinking about that when I start bitching about drafting CEH. :banghead:

Just start using him in the passing game like they have been using the RB in the passing game in recent weeks. Look what a bum like Darrel Williams just accomplished in the passing game. I mean... thats why we ****ing drafted him over the other RBs in the draft. Not because he was better than they are at running the ball, but because he seemingly fit this offense like a glove. We've been using him like an OJ Simpson glove, though.

ThaVirus 11-15-2021 12:06 PM

Mahomes has done a great job of selling the downfield pass then coming back to the RB down low. He’s dropping back, looking downfield, letting those LBs get some depth, then he’s firing it out to Darrel who’s got 10-12 yards of open field in front of him.

I’d like to see us do the same thing with Clyde. He’s not a guy who can create a ton on his own, but if we can get him in the open field with a head full of steam, maybe he can make some magic.

Aye, hopefully that helps the Ts as well. A half second’s hesitation from them thinking they might be vacating an area where a screen in developing could be the difference between a TD and a turnover.

Assuming he's healthy, he's going to play well. Darrel, though, has earned the right to continue as the starter, IMO.

It’s also going to help with the two deep safety issue. Screens and runs are going to cause them to creep up.

Dunerdr 11-15-2021 01:12 PM

Honestly CEH could look a shitload better if hed try to juke and avoid contact instead of lowering his shoulder all the time.

duncan_idaho 11-15-2021 01:18 PM

Williams ended up in a LOT of 1x1 situations last night.

This is exactly what they drafted CEH for... his quickness and cutting ability make him tough for closing-out LB and S to defend.

As well as Williams played last night, I think CEH gets a little more out of those 1x1, open-field situations. Though I don't know that he is someone you throw a jump ball to in the end zone.

A healthy CEH that makes LB routinely miss 1x1 in the short and intermediate ranges makes this offense even tougher to defend.

This is basically everything you need to know. He may be a JAG but hes a JAG upgrade from our current JAG's.

I'm not even sold that he's just a guy. I think he's a little better than average.

They've used him like he's a run-first guy, though. Drafting him with the idea of utilizing him in the passing game like KC used Williams last night makes sense.

Drafting him with the idea of him being primarily a ballcarrier? If that's what you're looking for, why draft Edwards-Helaire and not Taylor?

ToxSocks 11-15-2021 01:48 PM

CEH was playing well when he got injured and the OL was still improving. I expect that with the offense a bit further along, CEH will play good football and provide more than what Williams was giving us.

Megatron96 11-20-2021 07:48 PM

Darrel will start. Clyde will take about 15-20 snaps. No need to risk another setback with Darrel healthy and playing fairly well.

Would like to see Clyde involved in the passing game for about half of those snaps.

It was so strange.

Almost every carry CEH got was a power run between the Center and RG.

Why? Nothing about CEH screams power back.

That is the conundrum we find ourselves in, particularly with Darrel being so much better as a receiver.

Clyde's YPC has dipped significantly since he returned. He will be under 4 by season's end at this rate.

smithandrew051 12-28-2021 11:52 AM

Man if we could flip a pick for Tony Pollard in the offseason, you’d have to consider it. He’s going into the last year of his contract. Can’t believe the Cowboys would pay 2 running backs.

I wouldn't say Darrel is so much better of a receiver. I haven't seen CEH targeted downfield as much as Darrel because he is not the 3rd down back.

Darrel has made plays in the passing game we've never seen CEH make. Just accept it.

I think we know what we have in Clyde and Darrel at this point. And they're fine and that's fine.

I think Gore's ability to produce big plays in a limited sample size is becoming a lot more intriguing as it continues when he gets touches.

I hope we get to see a lot of him this Sunday.

Not sure about the source, and if from PFF I won't believe a thing, but seems to track based on the other names and the eye test.

I hope we can lock up the #1 seed so we can give tons of carries to Gore to see what we have from him.

Well, we'll find out if Gore looks good due to small sample size, or is a diamond in the rough.
