Mahomes can cover a lot of sins, that's true, but we've seen that strong front fours can give us problems. I don't want Mahomes taking that kind of abuse and I think it's irresponsible not to address it.

I also think that if we could actually run the ball effectively, making better use of LAST YEAR'S number one pick, we could force defenses to play honest; and if they do that, we might never punt.
I wouldn't count on them "fixing" the running game.

Even in the midst of Kareem's 2017 league-leading season, he had 3 or 4 games where he didn't even get 10 carries.

Andy Reid doesn't run the ball like a normal coach. It's part of who he is.

I think they'll work to improve the blocking, especially the pass blocking, but I don't expect special emphasis on the running game.
