See...the thing with the running game is this: It takes patience.
CP sees a 2 yard run and says: FAIL! Don't take the ball out of Mahomes' hands!
But that's not even a fraction of the picture.
If you keep pounding, if you stay balanced between running and passing, those two yard runs become 4, 5, 10 yards. The pass rushers have to honor their run responsibilities first, which slows the pass rush. It opens up play-action in the passing game.
But it takes patience. It takes will.
Yes, we have Mahomes, yes, he's a generational talent, but it's still football. We have OT's that struggle with speed rushers. Best way to negate a speed rusher? Run right at 'em.
