Yeah but it was brutal, nothing worked. Jet seeps, misdirects, Pacheco who usually finds a hole once or twice.
At least Pacheco and McKinnon had good yards via a couple of dump offs. But dang, it might be a long day if they can't at least bust a couple through. |

Not sure how much time you spent in the GDT but it was a mixture of "Why aren't we running more?!" and also "Stop running the ball on 1st and 2nd down!". These were both after we couldn't run the ball for shit.

I do find it weird though, our interior oline are a bunch of really good players. We can never get one yard up the middle though. I just can't wrap my head around that.

We don't need balance in the Offense to beat the Eagles, but we do need to be a lot more effective when we do choose to run the ball.

Early it seemed like they were going to try to maintain some balance. And I'm wanting to say they made a halftime adjustment to focus on outside zone when the inside zone stuff was getting wrecked. When it didn't work, they just scrapped the run game.
And that was the right call. There's just no sense in 'establishing the run' at this point in the season. It's a myth and it don't work. If you're running well, go ahead and continue to mix them in there and try to get a nice 60/40 pass/run split. And if it isn't working - screw it, fire that !@#$ing pigskin!

We seem to run better with Mahomes taking the snap under center. A gimpy Mahomes made that riskier, and my sense is our run game from shotgun isn't as effective. Hopefully, two more weeks to recover will put Mahomes under center a bit more to put that back into the game plan.

Some folks were saying that Tre Smith was dinged early in the game and played through it.
Not sure that Wylie should have been called for holding on the TD run by Pacheco. Chiefs losing Toney and Hardman was big loss for run part of game plan that requires motion or speed to the edge.

And their edges are more designed to rush as well, though Brandon Graham may be one of the more secretly great players in the league. I don't think he'll make the HoF or anything - but he actually might and NOBODY thinks of him in that light. He's been a damn good player for a really long time. He makes me nervous in this one because you know he's going to empty the tank. He could absolutely have an impact on the run game if Wylie can't hold his own against him.

We also ran a bunch of those "RB up the C's ass on first down" plays we all loooove so much. Those tend to kill averages.
Both Ds did a great job shutting down the run. Closed gaps, wrapped up, made tackles.

They were definitely making an effort to stop the run. The only good run we had was Pacheco’s TD that got called back by a penalty.

I read this somewhere online, sorry cant remember where, but when all our Wr's went out they were primarily playing a one high safety look and bringing the other safety down for run support. Which made MVC more effective in the many routes he was running against that allignment.

Trey Smith is/ was banged up a bit.
Also, we got a few passes to Pacheco which is basically an extension of the run game and added another 60 yards. |
