Thegoatee 1,780 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 CEH is Trent Richardson. Change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Dang it......I can't. In CEH's defense, the shotgun rpos/draws are bad designs for his skill set. He is a patient and hesitant runner and this offense isn't designed for that. It needs a bigger or faster one cut and go back. Apparently his receiving prowess in college has all but disappeared. Another reason you don't waste first round picks on RB's. Palangi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefThunder 153 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Don't throw flames at me for this lol.....but I think CEH's growth has been affected by Deland McCullough leaving and Lewis taking his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsy 1,137 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I would've rather taken a pass rusher with that pick..myself. It's not CEH fault he was taken in the first..but he is not the answer as our #1 rb imo. Maybe things will get better for him, but idk.

Joe_Chief 1,092 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I hate to say it, but I agree with Lamardirts. Running out of the shotgun isn't getting it done. Andy needs to cut those plays way back. CEH can be effective...he just isn't a fit for the types of plays Andy is calling.

oldtimer 8,686 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 That INT MVPAT through was the real killer not CEH's fumble. Remember wayyyy back when Jamal Charles fumbles IIIRC against Denver on the 1 yrd line. Did he ever fumble again? I'm not throwing CEH or the pick under the bus Joe_Chief and Palangi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpo The Mad Clown 5,555 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 CEH didn’t cost us the game with the fumble. The defense lost it by being unable to stop anything the Ravens threw at them. If you score 35 points and lose, the defense owns the loss. oldtimer, ATLchief, Iluvhouse24 and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense did suck but I’m not sure it was entirely on them. That scheme of Spags ( two weeks in a row) is far less attack and far more contain/bend don’t break. Puts the D on their heals. I’d rather be aggressive and lose than tentative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,780 Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 I am not blaming CEH for the loss. What I have seen, preseason to now, is a guy who doesn’t read the holes or line and immediately magnet into the backs of the offensive line. He isn’t particularly fast. He isn’t particularly elusive. He isn’t particularly strong. Anything that slows him further down, like read option crap that Mahomes isn’t going to keep and run, exacerbates it. This guy sadly was the first RB taken and may be among the worst RBs drafted that year. Lamardirts, AFCWEST and Palangi 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Mahomes cant find him when he runs routes? If he was showing anything in practice as far as receiving I think it would be used in games. Time to move on. Hell Balt used guys off the street and torched KC. Sad but KC will probably ride this guy to a wild card spot just because they drafted him #1.

I seem to remember him being called last night as a "Scatt back". Hell even that FB aint what i'd call big either. I really wish we had a bruiser of an RB.

I think KC would have been much better off drafting defense. I said that day one with that pick. CEH has had time to show something. He had one great game. TB won the SB with a RB off the street. RBs are a dime a dozen. CEH is not special. Lamardirts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorensen anyone? Problem is sitting behind the dline instead of hitting holes puts you at a disadvantage. You are no longer the aggressor but a tractor. Also when did we start playing the running back in a read option. A couple times we jumped the back forcing the most dangerous runner on the field to keep it. I’ve always leaned you force it out of the qbs hands then string out the rb to the sideline. Not sure what we did this week at practice, because they’ve been doing this for years now on O. Also how does the whole Cochinf staff not see the massive limitations of Ben on film and not want to churn the bottom of the roster for a replacement????

Calichief 3,016 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 It’s not his fault. but keep it real, he’s not the answer at rb. There are no signs of burst, speed, etc. He is so hesitant… last night, he has the edge on a toss, (early in the game)and should have been gone. Instead he was pulling a dump truck and got about 4 yards. I didn’t realize how slow he was… is… Burpo The Mad Clown, AFCWEST and oldtimer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes4six! 968 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 We need to give McKinnon more snaps. He is faster and that should help. I agree these shot gun handoffs are not helping us to get ahead of the sticks. I also think we need to move Chris Jones back into the middle. Here are my reasons going up against centre’s and guards instead of tackles. fastest way to QB We not seen and battled balls. this change should be done right away and may help. It won’t help the run defense but at least we are creating pressure. Him being in the edge is not helping us at all and in fact making things worse.

We need to slide him back and occasionally use him at DE against pocket passers. He couldn't do anything against a backup RT and washed Villenueva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamardirts 2,114 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I’m still not sure we were ever truly rushing LJ. Many times defenses will scheme a contained rush to keep him in the pocket. Force LJ to beat us with his arm….it worked in previous games but we never stopped then enough on O to build a lead big enough to force that. Bad game planning , pathetic adjustments and poor execution doomed the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Can't really name a single individual for the loss, it truly was a team effort. Defense failed to stop the Ravens all game long and when they did the offense couldn't capitalize in the last quarter. Regarding CEH I don't think he'll ever live up to the hype of a 1st round RB simply because Reid doesn't want one. This RPO doesn't give the line or the RB much of a chance to set something up and he's barely getting any touches as things currently stand. Unless we utilize the pro formation I don't think we can talk about an effective run game and there's almost no play-action either.
