That was a damn good rush defense too, pretty impressive considering.

I didn't think he was washed and said so here beforehand, but honestly that was better than I even hoped. He looked an immediate and substantial upgrade. I think he and Perine is absolutely solid enough.

The problem with our outside zone stuff is that it seems like we struggle to pressure the edge and open those cutback lanes. Teams just don't respect the edge.

Yesterday Hunt was pressing the edge nicely. He wasn't hitting it because he ain't THAT fast, but he was at least making it an option so the DL had to flow with him. And in the process they opened themselves up for that downhill cut into the gap.

Hunt just knew how to create a hole and when/where to hit it.

He just looked polished. Not dangerous, but effective.
It's all vision and feel.

It's why I don't.....I don't really care about speed at the RB spot. Sure, you have to have a certain baseline of speed but "breakaway" speed? Nah.

There's only upside with Hunt back.

He'll mesh with the line in coming weeks and once Pop comes back we will have the best 1-2 punch in the league. Easily.

Crazy how that stuff works out. There could be a silver lining for Rashee getting injured too in that it expedites Worthy's learning curve.

I seriously don’t know where this Hunt is washed narrative came from. He literally had 9 TDs last year while splitting carries and had 2 TDs in the playoffs. This is like the Nickelback hate, people hate them just because they were told to
Nah. Nickelback genuinely sucks. It's bad buttrock. You should be able to see that. That hate is not unfounded.

You're right about Hunt, though.

The Chiefs are fortunate to have stacked 4 wins during this rough time.

All we gotta do now is win the games we are supposed to win, and LIKELY we are the one seed.

We have EIGHT GAMES against teams .500 or worse left.

Five of those games are division opponents.

We also get to play Justin Fields.

Just take care of business. Mahomes and the one seed, we'll take our chances.

Eh - CJ2K never bothered to look for a hole - he just blasted to the edge and by dudes.

I'm fine with speed. I love speed. Give me ALL the speed at RB. I'll take Achane 100 times out of 100.

But they have to have a threshold level of vision. And if they don't have that speed, the threshold level is a lot higher.

Perine is also pretty new to this team. Their two main running backs were not part of training camp or any other off-season workouts. The more time Kareem & Perine get to practice with the team, the more they can get involved in the passing game. Could be a nice development as the weeks go along.

I never get tired of watching that Jeff Demps run when he was at Florida against Kentucky.

Look it up on YouTube if you aren’t familiar.

Achane was my dude, and was little pissed the Chiefs didn't select him

I think I took him for the Raiders (along with Anthony Richardson, Brian Branch AND Rashee Rice - I killed it for those boys) in the CP Mock that year.

I love the dude. That kind of explosion is just so rare.

That says, he sure has sucked the hind teat the last couple of weeks. Without any threat of a downfield passing game, there's just nowhere for him to go.

I have 4 teams, 3 of which are keepers where you pay 'forward' a certain number of rounds off last season's selection for guys you keep. And I took Achane in the 10th or later in every league I was in last year so in those leagues I could keep him for anywhere from a 6th to a 9th.

Needless to say, I have a LOT of Achane stock.

And yeah, it hasn't worked out terribly well the last two weeks.

I had so many Charles vs. CJ arguments those days man. I really pissed me off how people couldn't see past CJs pure speed to see Charles was a much better actual running back. His vision and feel for the game were other worldly.

I play a 14 team redraft league for work...with that many teams there's basically no depth so I went go big or go home this year..

Achane was one of my picks.
