The Hunt thing sucks, but I'd never give him or any other back a big second contract.
I'd draft a RB in the 3rd/4th/5th round every year. Stay young, stay talented. These guys play special teams too. |

Sure, they could stand to run the ball more at times. In the end, Mahomes needs the ball. |

If you want him to play, you may consider protecting his health as well. It's not just running, but more creative and diverse playcalling in general. What you want is what Detroit has done with Matt Stafford. "Hey dude, let's pass it 700 times! Yeah!" How's that worked out for Stafford's career? There's a reason NFL teams don't pass 80% of the time. |

Well, a lot of that is on him. I don't think they've really changed the routes to throw the ball deep that many snaps, so maybe sometimes get it out quick and let the dudes run.

The passing game will be much more effective when there is a legitimate running threat to take the pressure off Pat.

I don't think Andy has even opened the play book this year. I think he's sitting on a ton of motion, screens, and what not. I also think we will run the ball better moving forward. Our injuries would make most teams sub .500 teams. |

With Mahomes it was a LOT of just drop back in the shotgun over and over. It makes the pass rusher's jobs easier. Mix it up. Runs, screens, misdirections, play action, ect. Slow down the rush. I had no idea this 'slow down the rush' concept was so abstract to football fans. It seems like everyone is confused about why this stuff matters. Andy was taking his talents for granted and in doing so not maximizing them. Ever since the Lions game it's been that way and it's been an issue. I just don't want him to go back to THAT when we do get him back. We can protect him and allow him to be a star at the same time. |

We’ve had opportunities to invest in the center position and have refused every time.

The narrative that KC can't run is false. You have to call running plays. KC has 322 pass attempts (if you count sacks it's 338 pass calls ) and 188 rush attempts. That isn't 'slightly' out of whack. I'ts not 'pass heavy'. It borders on one dimensional. Since running is effective on a per carry basis, there's no real REASON for this exaggerated disparity. Even if they don't change this ratio, he can at least be a bit more creative when Mahomes comes back like he was last season. Andy is always out of whack, but he's usually much more creative... as he has been the last two weeks with Moore starting. Last edited by WhiteWhale; 11-05-2019 at 12:20 PM.. |

This is a flawed stat since we’ve had several games where multiple backs combined for 100+. Since were a team that splits carries, the overall rushing total is what matters.
The issues we do have rushing are the result of having a beat up O line. When the line is healthy and actually blocks, Damien goes off. Spending big money on a RB is the worst thing this team could do. That $$ needs to go into OL, MLB, and DB. Not wasted on a RB. Hunt being a moron was a blessing in disguise cause he would have required a major contract extension that is WAY better spent elsewhere. |
