CEH will get Mahomes in 2nd and short with all of his playmakers. That is your money making down right there!

CEH isnt some gadget third down back. He is an every down back that will improve our run game drastically.

You said this "Yes you do have to be a....heavy back....to win "consistently" at short yardage situations."

But those guys were 235+, Marcus wasn't and he is the same weight as CEH albeit taller obviously.

CEH will be fine.

Marcus Allen like Barry Sanders was ....unique.

Also, Kareem Hunt is on TV right now showing everyone how CEH could fit into this offense.

Oh come on, Allen wasn't that unique. He wasn't especially big or strong or fast (4.69 40) or have Barry's quicks. He was blessed with high football IQ, great balance, and he had great vision. in shot yardage he had great patience coupled with a hair trigger burst into whatever crease he eventually found to convert.

And there have been plenty of guys that were great inside that weren't 230+ lbs.

Curtis Martin, LaDainlian, Thurman Thomas, Tony Dorsett . . .

Ubeja doesn't watch film or listen when he is constantly proven wrong. It's like arguing with my uncle the Oklahoma chicken farmer about politics.
