Looks like his vision and balance is still there.

RBs get old, fast.

You watch what he was last year, and I still see a guy with good vision and incredible balance through contact.

I don't expect 2017-18 Hunt. He isn't that, any more. But I do think KC can get some production out of him.

Even if he has lost a step from a speed perspective, that's still faster than Carson Steele, who is your other main option for 1st and 2nd down and short-yardage carries.

Eh I don't know about that. Steele seems very similar to Hunt to me in that he plays alot faster than he times.

But the vision is all I care about at this point.

I'll take it!

I am an ordained minister from youcandoweddingstoo.com and I too agree with the science. God is with us too

I want to hear about him being activated later today

The secret weapon

Would happen tomorrow if it is going to happen

same. I have Perine on my fantasy team as i had drafted him for my bench, just in case Pacheco got injured
I'm interested in trading him out for Hunt.

I've not seen a single person say that, maybe buried in this thread somewhere but I have no idea what you are talking about saying there a bunch of people claiming this. Many people have said Pacheco is better than the 2024 version of Hunt.

I think if we get better production than washed up Le'veon Bell and Shady McCoy, this is a W.

I'll always kinda wonder what happened with McCoy.

was it really just ball security? Because him carrying the ball wide isn't anything new - he did it his whole career.

And he didn't look washed. He looked about the same as Damien Williams for the most part. He wasn't the superstar he'd been, but he looked like a credible player.

And man we just buried the guy.

I don't know any details other than he pissed Andy off and it didn't have anything to do with ball security.

Um where the **** have you been?

I don't remember those two doing anything productive here. Especially Bell.

Exactly.

I recall McCoy doing really well and getting huge gains on screen passes and short outs

McCoy was fine other than fumbling and then something happened where he never played...he also had unflattering things to say after leaving, something happened there.

Also worth noting:

I did in my league. Same scenario. Hunt can be a TD Machine.

For those saying Kareem lost a step I'd like to remind you you he ran in the 4.6's at the combine. Dude was never Jamal Charles to begin with. As long as he still has excellent vision, contact balance, ball security, and overall instinct that will be plenty.

I'd like to see him start Sunday night. You know they're going to discuss it Pregame. Just start him.

At the same time he's probably not in shape and needs to learn the Playbook.

Shady's gamelogs from his 2019 season. Through the first two months, Shady was the Chiefs' best RB, and it wasn't close at all.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/game.../nfl/year/2019

He'd definitely lost a step in terms of top speed, but his vision and his agility were still there, and he made chicken salad out of chickenshit blocking more often than not, while Damien consistently averaged less than 2 yards per carry, until late in the season. For those that don't remember, check out the DET game; Shady got through holes that didn't really exist multiple times in that game.

There were a lot of stacked boxes in those runs. Defenders not even pretending to roll back, just straight towards the line.

Hopefully defenses do that when Hunt is lined up next to Mahomes in shotgun...

I highly doubt we get blanked in the first half of the AFCCG if Hunt was playing in that game. It would have never come down to Dee Ford.

On the other side of the coin, Bob Sutton probably doesn't get fired, we dint revamp the defense, and don't have 3 titles.

Suttons defense would not have compensated for the clown show offense we paraded out last season.

This had to be what you expected. C'mon homers.

I think we all need to trust Andy on this.

I trust Reid to scheme around no Pacheco.

We are perhaps the best team in the league to rely on our QB.

I expect Reid/Nagy to scheme a lot of jet sweeps with WRs, short passes to the flat, use Perine or Steele for short yardage and they will either have room for it since the D is expecting pass, or if the D plays the run Mahomes' targets will feast.

I hope they switch it up throughout the game.

It'll be nice to see him either debut vs. Harbaugh's Chargers or maybe even the MNF game against New Orleans.

My God Arrowhead is going to explode if he makes plays that night.

Hunt isn't playing Sunday Night. Depth chart will be Steele, Perine, Ingram.

Sorry but this is weird to me.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profoo...s-this-weekend

Him not playing?

I mean it is his first week of real practice. You don't want the guy getting hurt right off the bat.

I haven't been this excited since 1998 when we had Donnell Bennett, Bam Morris, and Rashaan Shehee suit up for games.

Bummer. I was hoping to see him on the field in Atlanta. Oh well.

Hunt couldn't have played in that game even if KC didn't cut him so its all moot.

Mahomes going over 300 yds and 3 TDs is a lock :)

Sigh… guess we’ll have to rely on our QB :(

I mean, the playbook changes every year. It's going to take a minute, even though he was here previously.

Once he is in football shape they will ease him in.. Hopefully within a couple of games..

It’s weird that someone who hasn’t played for the Chiefs in years, wasn’t in training camp, and has only had a few days of practice isn’t playing? lol

I really hope we give Perine the start and majority of snaps. Hunt will be activated next week.

Going to be even weirder when he plays and is very underwhelming. I don’t have high hopes for him. He’ll be mediocre at best and will look slow.

Yeah, You can't go from the couch to the field in the NFL.. Doesn't work that way....

He would have played in the game, if he hadn't degenerated into a shit slinging primate, losing his temper like a little girl on her period and physically attacked a female on camera.

His stupidity was the issue most had with Hunt. The guy had everything in front of him. He was a beast on an up and coming monster franchise.

He let little bullshit drama derail everything. Then lied about it to boot. He could've still been playing here in the years after if he'd just explained what happened instead of hiding from the fact that his pussy bled all over that hotel hallway.

I liked Kareem the player. He was a monster. Kareem the person was the ****ing idiot that cost my team a shot at winning the Superbowl that season.

Having been to 4 of 5 and won 3 since, it's been easier to let go of, but if I think back to that time, losing Hunt to his braindead behavior was so bad at the time. It sucked.

Eh, I still maintain that what happened on tape that night wasn’t even that bad.

I blame TMZ for releasing the footage with the title “Kareem Hunt BRUTALIZES woman” LMAO Like, bruh. There was nothing brutal about any of that.

He’s an idiot but clearly didn’t care to hurt that girl. If he wanted to he could have flattened her. As it stood, he gave her the type of kick you’d give your dog to get his ass off the couch.

Don't kick women.

I had to watch it again since it’s been a while.

I didn’t remember the initial push. That was ugly but still, I think the whole thing was more optics than anything. The fact that he needed to be held back from a girl is the worst part. That’s some hoe shit any way you slice it.

Man, **** them hoes.

This mindset is what makes too many women feel like it’s a good idea to square up with a 230 pound NFL athlete.

Yep. Good way to put it.

Correct. Just work to repeal the 19th amendment. Women all over the USA are suffraging

LMAO What? No, that was some really stupid shit. Hunt escalates it to a physical confrontation, shoves a member of his entourage into her and sends the both to the floor, then kicks her while she's down.

What if she's "asking for it"?

I’d argue they both escalated it to a physical confrontation.

The other shit is not a big deal and definitely not “brutal” by any sense of the word.

Funny you mention his friend ‘cause on a rewatch, buddy got the worst of it lol

Don’t hear anyone crying for him..

Kinky

Ingram’s apparently getting waived to make room for Kareem. Looks like he’ll be playing this week.

https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/fo...ve-roster/amp/

Yup him and Steele going to be a combo. And honestly it’s the year of the Running Back…. Going to be a hell of a combo.

With defenses playing deep, running backs are going to feast.

Kareem playing Sunday makes this one more exciting. Reg season not as fun as it used to be, but this will be.

Of course, very curious to see his rep count.

Good. Steele has a niche and Perine really isn't showing much.

ROFL

You idiots who don't enjoy winning just because it's not 31-14 every week disgust me.

DISGUST ME!!!!!!!!!!

I don't feel like his reputation is great around here tbh. Probably a low count. But hey, I'm not gay, I swear!

Can't WAIT for you to shit on Kareem in the GDT when his first 3 carries go for 9 yards.

It's not that.

It's that if we are being real, this season is a failure unless they win the whole damn thing and while getting the Bye will be very nice for that, it's the injuries that scare me. There just isn't a whole lot for the Chiefs to gain right now.

Can't wait to see him take the field at Arrowhead. The crowd will go wild.

If Andy is gonna continue forcing the run game near the goal line, I hope Kareem is able to provide better short yardage performance than we saw the last couple weeks in those situations.

A Steele-Hunt backfield may heat the Earth's core back up. Throwing in Pacheco, everyone's getting a tan

I think a little patience before committing to the hole will make a big difference.

It was honestly one of the major selling points with MEH - that he was really good at setting up his blocks before committing.

Steele doesn't do that at ALL. Pacheco isn't great at it.

If Hunt can just wait a half a heartbeat for the blocks to develop before committing to the gap, we should have a little more success there.

We just don't have anyone with a real nose for that sort of thing.

I'd like to see more of Suamataia as the 6th man. Send him in motion and let him clobber a fool en route to Hunt scoring his first Tuddy

worked great when LeVeon Bell was here

Kareem had 9 TD rushing last year, which is a lot for a guy averaging 3 yards per carry. He seems to have a nose for the end zone in those short yardage situations.

I honestly wish you would just STFU and stop trying to be some sort of arbiter for Chiefs fandom.

League about to get a Steele Toe Boot

Nah, it's genuinely funny when it comes from Clay. He can't even do it properly.

Well you let us know when something goes right for this team because it will be the FIRST ****ING TIME.

Yeah - definitely a good sign.

And like I said yesterday - over a meaningful timeline, I think a team's red zone percentage tends to roughly match it's success between the 20s.

If we continue to move the ball fairly well between the 20s, there's going to be some natural positive regression on our red zone success rates (notably inside the Gold zone; we don't seem to struggle getting from the 20 to the 10; it's inside the 10 where we die).

I think a little help from Hunt just having a nose for the end zone and then some basic regression could go a long way to cure some of the offensive maladies.

We'll see. It was hard not to be encouraged by how well we moved the ball UNTIL we got into the those short yardage areas. I think the scoring should follow.

Bite me. I'm tired of it and I don't care what you or anybody else thinks about it. Yeah, we're 3-0, but we could easily be 0-3 or anything in between.

I realize the issues. Our shiny new WR toy was broken out of the box. Starting RB is out. Offensive line is a work in progress. Kelce has clearly lost a step. Worthy is raw and still learning. All of it has taken a toll on Pat's play. And two of our first three opponents are rivals who passionately hate us and play out of the minds against us. And even if they weren't, we always get everybody's best game because everybody wants to knock us off the mountaintop.

31-14 would be a welcome change from this weekly gut-wrenching, down to the wire slog. That's frankly the sort of score one would expect from a back to back defending Super Bowl champion. It really isn't too much to ask to at least get it ONCE IN A WHILE.

Our short yardage running plays mainly suck because of the formation and personnel we run out of imho

Imo it'd help if we didn't line up in shotgun 100% of the time.
