kkuenn 3,597 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Alex Collins. Might be the type of rb we need and on par with Hunt in this offense. Especially having 2 rb going doen this week. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2019/11/20/kansas-city-chiefs-free-agent-rb-options-former-baltimore-ravens-rb-alex-collins/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Surprised he's a free agent. My first question would be can he hold on to the ball? If so definitely a decent addition to the mix, if not then not sure if there's a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Our lack of a reliable running game stems both from a below average line and mediocre RBs who can’t hold onto the ball. If we want to be better at closing out games next year, this is the main culprit this year and must be addressed in the offseason. Sad to say but with Kareem Hunt we’d probably be 9-3 right now. The guy made the oline better and never fumbled. That said I’m not sure Alex Collins recent arrest and suspension is going to play well after Kareem. But I’d see if he’s healthy.

Okay let’s split the difference and call it 8-4 because minus Williams fumble return for a TD there’s no way we lose the Tenn game. GB would’ve been a toss up without Shady fumble. But either way we need to put some effort into that interior oline. People that complain about play calling don’t seem to realize our oline has been awful and that makes play calling brutally tough. I agree RBs need holes so our issues wouldn’t disappear with Hunt. But it definitely would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was second in college football in breaking tackles last year which is something Damien Williams doesn’t do. Just making point whether it’s what he’s showing in pass protection or whatever, he needs to do something to earn those reps. We know Andy will play young RBs early if he thinks they are ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about him but after looking at his fumbling numbers I don't know if he's an upgrade over what we have in town. I'm still leaning towards giving youngsters a look but if the staff thinks Collins is better and bring him in I wouldn't be disturbed by the idea. I don't think Hunt will ever come back to KC but it sure will be interesting to follow his offseason process, should provide some entertainment to an otherwise boring offseason.
