This is why Damien Williams is our starting RB

[BWillie]

I'm not as high on him as others. But luckily for us we have the best offensive coach in the league so almost any running back will do. He can make them work. In his entire time at Miami he couldn't muster 4.0 yards per carry. in a four year sample size. That is FRIGHTENING. Let's be honest, it's easy to run in this offense. Defenses prepare to stop Mahomes. Running lanes are open.

We should almost NEVER run the ball. Period. I'm talking 90% of the time pass the ball. There is a great Athletic article about this. Even when they KNOW you are passing, it's STILL way way more effective than running the ball. STOP running the ball unless it's 4th and inches, or the defense is just giving you an easy 10 yard gain.

Wiliams is actually at 4.0 YPC in his career and ran at 5.1 YPC last year for us. 8.3 career Receiving- so not so Frightening.

So if running lanes are open- why would you not pound the ball and control the clock?

People were not impressed with Priest Holmes before he came here either. Williams is going to be a big weapon for us.

Well yeah, he has a 4.0 ypc NOW because he got the benefit of playing in a Patrick Mahomes + Tyreek Hill + Travis Kelce + Andy Reid offense. Any Top 60 running back in the league would have success in such an offense.

To your second point, you don't want to control the clock if you are a superior team. If you are a better team, you want as many possessions as possible. That would be a valid argument if you weren't better than the other team. That is why you see especially in college basketball and college football the inferior team slow the game down all the time. For some reason it works for Virginia (basketball) but that is one of the only anomalies. Slowing the game down and giving PATRICK MAHOMES & FUTURE HOF ANDY REID LESS possessions instead of more allows more luck into the game.

Okay, so he good then?

Was he a wasted 1st round pick in your eyes? Like Mecole Hardman is a wasted 1st round pick to you?

I think you're looking at it wrong. He wasn't used correctly in the past. I read someone saying the dolphins liked him for goal line situations. All you have to do is look at the video in the OP and you can see the talent he has. Vision , speed and hands and watch the level he runs at. He has it all. Good coaches game for the talent they have.

Yes and he will be playing with these guys the next two years as well. So if he averages 5.1 yards a carry again that gives you a Lot of flexibilty.

You are wanting the Chiefs to be a 1-dimensional passing only team. In bad weather and Playoff time- you Have to be able to run the ball. And control the clock to close games out which we were terrible at last year.

I really don't care what he did on all those shitty Miami teams- he looked pretty explosive for us during the playoffs and will be a big weapon when teams try and blitz Mahomes. I think you will be happy with his production this year- not just running but catching the ball as well.

I agree. There were times last year we could have sealed the deal if we were just able to run the ball. Instead we relied on PMII to dig us out of hole after hole only to watch the D put us in another one. I'll settle for a 4K yard, 35 TD year from our QB if it means the Lombadri.

That article is just like saying "Planes are so much safer than cars, so Everytime someone has to travel anywhere, they should use a plane instead of a car" ignoring any nuance. The more a team passes, the higher the chance for a sack, interception, and injury to the quarterback. I mean could you imagine if von Miller and Bradley Chubb could pin their ears back on every play with little worry of a run? As great as Schwartz is, that's an insane thing to ask of him.

That plan would be a disaster.

So yeah, let’s let teams all out blitz our savior QB every single down because we never run the ball. Great freaking strategy.
