And the playoffs have shown the importance of ball security. That's another check in Kareem's favor.
He's just the right guy at this time. Sucks for Pop, but it is what it is. Kareem Hunt fits what this team needs from its RB right now much better than Pacheco. Have Pacheco in there to deliver an impact or two early if you must. His energy probably helps get guys going especially in that first drive or two.
But man, we can't be dicking around waiting for him to discover how to set up blocks. He's had several weeks to get back to what we hoped he might become and it hasn't happen.
It's nut cutting time. Hunt should be the primary ballcarrier even if you decide that Pacheco is still the 'starter'.
