I think Darrel Williams will win that job. I also think we have other enforcers with the ability to handle short yardage situations.
Sherman obviously is an option, but Blake Bell is really good at short yardage as well. That’s basically what he did in college.

Williams is not winning anything, doubt he may even be the starter at this point.
As far as Sherman, no one needs a fullback on the field so the defense adjusts.
We need someone who can run and break tackles as well as receive ON ANY PLAY, and not only on short yardage situations.
Hell, Darwin Thompson, however small and not a power back is probably better than Williams once he breaks thru the primary. He sure has some interesting stats on YDS after contact and showed some of that against the Bengals too.
Mahomes is a generational talent, but a one dimensional offense will not help him any.

We are a total finesse team right now and that usually doesn’t go well come December and January.
I’m kind of thinking we cut Hyde and Darrel in favor of some other team’s power back that gets cut as teams go to 53 man rosters. I just don’t think Hyde or Darrel have shown enough to really cut it for us. We may not do that, but I think it’ll come back to bite us at some point if we don’t get someone who can run with an attitude.

Totally agree. Wonder where all the folks who've been claiming D. Williams is as good as K. Hunt ended up.
