Mahomes has had pretty good protection over the last few years when his line has been healthy and not sitting out for Covid. The run blocking was normally pretty bad though.

I’m really curious how a real running game will impact our passing attack. Teams need to pay EVERY time they come out in a light front. It was always frustrating to see CEH get stuffed when our like couldn’t get movement against a 4 man light front.

If teams really have to respect our running game, Mahomes is going to be deadly on play action. He’ll also have someone open when teams can’t drop 7.

We know Orlando Brown Jr graded out as one of the best run blocking tackles in the league the last two years. Trey Smith looks like a bulldozer. Humphrey has all the tools to be elite. Thuney is elite in pass protection and a decent run blocker. Either Remmers or (hopefully) Niang will be at least competent at RT.

An efficient running game is going to take this offense to another level. I can’t wait to see it.
