The Chiefs can't be a true "smashmouth" running team. They should run the ball, sure, but we're not going to just ram it down their throats like the Titans, Ravens, etc.
It would help if Reid actually used the FB he absolutely insists on wasting a roster spot on and he should have Mahomes taking more snaps from under center if he really wants to try and smash anything.

The run game, particularly with Pacheco, has been much better with QB under center. Up until last game, we were seeing more of Mahomes under center. I suspect Mahomes lack of mobility was the reason for the change against the Bengals rather than Reid abandoning the QB under center. On two weeks rest, I expect to see a more mobile Mahomes under center with Pacheco behind him.
