And by the way, if you add in Darrell Williams, the numbers don't improve.
Williams has 67 carries on first down, bringing the total for the two of them almost to Taylor's 147. But Williams again only has 34 carries on 2nd down. 2nd down is the money down for RB's. It's the down where the offense can basically call any play it wants. The Chiefs simply don't run the ball on 2nd down as much as most other teams and that's why our RB's don't produce like other teams. Look, I'm not saying our RB's can't improve. They can. But looking around the league and wishing we had this guy or that guy is pointless. They're not going to be "that" guy in this offense. They're more likely just going to be another CEH. |

Clyde can produce if the gameplan is to run the ball. Chiefs offense just prefers to pass for good reason. We've seen what he can do when given 20+ carries in a game against Buffalo last year. Comparing him to Taylor doesn't make sense when he's getting the ball 30 times a game for the colts.

So you think he’d improve if we shifted toward a “run first” game plan? Where teams would play the run first, I’m not seeing it.

Wait, we're still refusing to acknowledge Taylor is the far superior player to CEH? He's literally putting up MVP numbers as a RB. It's okay to acknowledge we took the wrong guy.

They're utilized very differently however and that's why he's part of the discussion. |

Hunt in 2018 averaged 16.4 attempts per game before he was cut. Taylor in 2021 averages 18 attempts per game.

Broke Dick D’Andre Swift or CEH?

Hunt, in 2017, had six games where he got less than 15 carries and two where he got less than 10. Futhermore, Taylor has 270 rushing attempts this season with 3 games left. Andy Reid, in his 22nd year of being a head coach has given a RB more than 270 carries SIX times. |

Let's nip the narrative that he can't run from shotgun in the bud. Data taken from a PFF article in mid November. Left is under center. Right is shotgun.

It's about deviation from the mean. Taylor average 18 carries a game and if you look at his low/high splits, he averages RIGHT AT 15-20 carries a game, every game. Hunt, in 2017, would carry it 9 times one week, 25 the next, then 11, and 22, then 9 again. I could go back through every one of Andy Reid's season as a head coach and show you PRECISELY that the touches would be diffrent because they ARE. It's a fact. For a team like Indy, running the ball is part of the plan. For Andy Reid, running the ball has ALWAYS been about opportunity, not commitment. I'm not suggesting Taylor wouldn't be a GREAT RB here. But he wouldn't be an MVP candidate here. He wouldn't even be an MVP candidate if Alex Smith were still here. He wouldn't have enough constancy to get there. |
