My issue is that our Oline was opening some serious holes today and CEH was still just solid. If today was CEH's best then that isn't good enough imo. Just about every decent NFL RB can do what CEH did today.
I don't hate CEH, i just want more. I expect my starting RB to make people miss and for Defenses to worry about him. No defense is afraid of CEH right now.
Maybe this is the start of some real improvement by CEH. Maybe he will gain confidence and finally explode on the scene. I hope he does, really do.

This is who he is, though. Even at his best, this is what CEH will do.
He's not a homerun hitter. He's not going to be a guy that bounces one out, out-runs and angle and then goes for 60.
He's a guy who's going to churn yards. He's going to be a guy who takes what's blocked and finishes the run hard. He's more Marcus Allen than Bo Jackson.
So if you're expecting something more than we saw today - you're going to be waiting awhile. It's just not the kind of runner he is. Either grade him on a scale that's fair for his skill-set, or bow out.
Expecting him to go out there looking like Barry Sanders when the line has a good day is a fools errand. This is what the Chiefs hoped to get out of him when they drafted him. If he does this with regularity, there's no reason not to be happy with the pick.
