Virtually every look Clyde has see, has been a defense BEGGING to be beaten by the run instead of by Mahomes. But this guy goes 2 yards into the centers ass and falls down on most plays.
A true running back, and God knows I hate bringing up Kareem Hunt, but he's the easiest comparison, because everyone here watched Kareem run. Kareem Hunt isn't the best back in football. He doesn't even start for his team, but he knows how to be an NFL running back.
ANY back that has vision, and is a strong runner, like Kareem Hunt, would absolutely have the rushing title against these looks this season.
Imagine Jonathan Taylor, Nick Chubb, any of these 25-30 carry a game capable running backs against these shell coverages.
You get the 2018 Chiefs offense. You play back, we run it down your throat. You come up, Patrick goes for 400 and 3+ td.
The run game is the most important fix for us right now. Gotta believe Veach has seen the failed experiment with Clyde. Against these looks and you're still mediocre?
Clyde wouldn't even start on another team.
We found Kareem Hunt in the third round. It doesn't have to be a high pick. We just need a tough, stud bell cow running back that Patrick will not feel is a wasted play to go ahead and hand off on those RPO's.
Lot of these RPO's turn into passes because Pat sees what we see. 2 yards and fall down, or keep, scramble, make a play.
Getting a rb that Mahomes trusts to run is going to be huge.

The one thing that he doesn't have is a HC that will run the ball with any consistency.
