Without a full week of practice, Andy usually won't play guys. I would be surprised if he plays much at all this week. |

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. |

That stat that showed how many points the Chiefs score with and without Clyde is very interesting. Ten point difference per game.

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. |

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

JFC break a tackle, out-physical the defender, show some speed… make a damn play. |
Where would we be if we drafted Tee Higgins instead of Clyde? Could really use a 3rd receiver like that guy

CEH is a JAG but may get better hopefully

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. |

The way this season has played out, I kind of expect CEH to come back strong and silence some of the doubters.

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. |

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

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. |

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? |
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.
|
And it's looking like the Gore experiment is pretty much over.

Maybe we’ll finally see production from CEH in the screen game that everyone was anticipating when he was drafted.

Daurice Fountain baby!!

I thought we released Fountain

Hopefully Darrel Williams is still RB1 tomorrow.
That’s not a long term indictment of CEH, but Darrel is coming off his best game while Clyde has been out for a month. |

If they use cylde I hope they throw it to him

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. |
I've got a good feeling about Clyde in the flats. I think we may finally see the reason we drafted him.

Gore was productive and looked good in the small chance the Chiefs gave him. They just didn't give him much of a chance. If the Chiefs give **** all, another team will give Gore a real chance next year. |

Wouldn’t that be a better look than him up the middle? Idk. |

Almost every carry CEH got was a power run between the Center and RG. Why? Nothing about CEH screams power back. |
Why is Fountain up? Who did we release/IR to make this possible?

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

The only RB we have with the ability to hit home runs is Gore.
MOAR GOAR |
He good, probably rests until the Playoffs.
|
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. |
If he was a 6th/7th rd pick he’d be cut already.

Quote:
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.
