He couldn’t just pass rush. If I were teams....I'd plan against CJ and run the option right at him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In pretty much every statistic used to measure running backs, CEH is superior. Richardson also always had a questionable work ethic and his commitment and professionalism were a problem. I have heard nothing of the sort about CEH. By all accounts, he's a great kid. But we lost a game. I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could and should be used more in the passing game if they are not going to use him as a runner. He ran just 13 times and not a single reception. Say what you will about a 1st round pick etc, but he is not being used at all. No RB would look good with this usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEH has no speed, wiggle or power...CEH would've been there in the 4th. Calichief and Palangi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better was his receiving skills, where he was not thrown to at all. Yeah I mean why even have a rb in this team the way Reid used them. Henry would not look good in this team as a RB.

Handswarmer 645 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Andy Reid has never been high on RB's in his Offense. He used them more as a receiver and ran them to keep the D honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether by design or Mahomes going elsewhere the rb is not being used at all. 13 touches for the whole game and all just runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they knew they did not want to use him, then it makes sense. The guy has shown he can run last season, especially with a light box. He can catch too and yet we see this bs usage so far this season. The guy can play, if given the chance. Iluvhouse24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fell off a cliff, and somehow got the Browns a 1st rounder in a terrible trade when they saw the mistake. One of the worst trades in NFL history. CEH stats through 2 games is looking closer to Richardson’s second season. It is a really early sample. But if he cannot average 4 yards per carry this year with our passing attack and revamped line, he will move to bust category for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, I just don't know if he should be considered a bust tho. Hell, he wasn't fast or powerful at LSU He had good hands and was a good route runner for a RB. I "think" he's still good at those things...but he never was considered a top flight "running" back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have a guy off the street in Williams and he does even worse than CEH. Ravens did it more so because of LJ threat and our horrid run defense. Look at Chubb and Hunt, 116 yards and 21 carries. They had better backs and did worse. This loss is more if the LJ factor imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if the oline blocked better, if Andy called the plays and blah blah blah. With all those ifs Im saying any decent RB can pick up yards. CEH is not special. Chiefs would be a much better defense if those high picks were used on defense vs the Clarks of the world. Im not talking about the loss. CEH was not why KC lost. The defense is putrid.

I think if we have this discussion even at week 10 it might make sense. Josh Jacobs is one of the best backs in the league. He had 10 carries for 34 yards against that defense. Philip Lindsey and Mark Ingram combined for 19 carries for 43 yards against the Browns defense. This is the first time since 1970 that an offensive line has been replaced completely from tackle to tackle. We have 2 rookies starting, basically 3 counting Niang. How in the world can we be having this discussion comparing him to one of the all time draft busts after game 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
