The offense right now can't afford to have a bad play. They need DW back there.

Watching DW fail to find holes all day was less than inspiring.

Hoping to see McKinnon tear it up this week against Steelers weak run D. Let DW and CEH rest up for the Bills.

Anyway, they gave DWilliams a PBlk rating of 36.5, CEH with 45.3, McKinnon with 84.0 and Burton with 83.9. I must say, that with my own eyes, I do think McKinnon is our best pass-blocking back. And yes, I'm surprised DW is so low.

Just thought I'd toss this out there for your heart-felt consideration.

McKinnon has always had a reputation for being a really good blocker, especially for his size. He broke the RB Bench Press record at the combine with 32 reps of 225. Dude is deceptively strong, hope he gets more playing time this postseason.

Playing Hill this past week was incredibly stupid. Clearly injured. The risk greatly outweighed the reward.

You lose that game and you fall to the 3 seed. At that point you play NE (a clearly tougher matchup than Pitt) and then likely go on the road to play Buffalo.

You make your path to the SB significantly more difficult. Moreover, they had no way to know the Colts would lose (or the Bengals) or that the Chargers wouldn't get past Oakland.

There was a possibility of slipping all the way to the 4 seed and playing the Chargers in round 1 with the Bills for you in R2.

That was a bigger win than many will acknowledge and they didn't exactly overuse Hill. He took 14 snaps - fewer than Josh Gordan or Noah Gray. It was an acceptable risk in a game that meant a fair amount, especially at the time the game was played.

Tyreek looked fine at the end of the game, too.

Sounds for all the world like a heel bruise.

A little rest and some pain management and he'll be fine. Adrenaline was able to get him through most of it anyway.

I just don't see any real likelihood that playing on it was going to do more to aggravate it. As such, the 'risk' was minimal. And the reward was pretty significant.

Just give me a healthy O-line and we will be fine.

How do you know what the risk was you dumb ****?

Dante84 01-11-2022 09:58 AM

Right now all seem to be tracking to play, with CEH being questionable/probable

Dante84 01-11-2022 10:00 AM

Honestly I'd be fine keeping Tyreek on the sideline until the 2nd quarter or even half, depending on how things are going.

Or, conversely, if we do start him I'd be fine pulling him out very early if we get a decent lead, and keeping him warm on the bike or whatever.

I want both Tyreek and Kelce and the OL on a pitch count in all playoff games.

If we're up big, it's time to start rotating players.

IrishChief 01-11-2022 10:18 AM

What injury did Kelce have?

They’re treating it like it’s not an official injury.

My guess is it was more in the bumps/bruises category that goes away after a couple days.

RaidersOftheCellar 01-11-2022 10:23 AM

For a team that's not known for being strong at RB, the Chiefs have a lot of depth there. CEH, Williams, Gore, McKinnon. You could make an argument for any of the four being the best RB on the roster.
