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.

We ran the ball fine in the playoffs. That was never an issue. For some reason, the running game always gets going when it matters most. I expect a huge year from Clyde though. He looked amazing and he will really grow into his role in the passing game next year too.
Needless to say, we obviously need to be better up front, and I imagine we will be.
