Calichief 3,016 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I need to give props to Andy and Eric. First time I’ve seen them employ an actual run game in a long time. This is what I’ve been saying for a long time. It softened up the defense, and then boom, the deep stuff started to open up. Not asking for us to be Baltimore, but there has to be a THREAT to run the ball. And kudos to ceh. He looked fast and explosive finally. Williams is a good back too. all this against a great dline. azchief21, qnet, Iluvhouse24 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calichief 3,016 Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Oh and, the offensive line is ridiculous. Definitely a run blocking oline. Some of those holes were 3 -4 yards wide. pass blocking still needs work, but my god, let them get down in the run game against Buffalo and keep the defense off the field.

moons314 2,463 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Bright future with that group. I have doubts whether they can get the push in a line up you know we’re running kind of situation. The upgrade in the interior is dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I'd love to see a lot more running from us. Keep the atrocious defense off the field as much as possible. Love watching Pat work his magic, but he's too damn effective lol. Never thought I'd say that about a KC QB after all these years hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been saying it for awhile and it was nice to see. Many of us are guilty of wanting Mahomes to fling it all over the place all the time. I like that they don't shy from running to the rookie side. oldtimer and Calichief 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,601 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 CEH is proving his worth when given opportunities to run and get more touches. Only had 15 the first 3 games? Had 14 carries for 102 yards with 2 receptions for 16 more yards and a td. He had more touches this game than he did the first 3 combined. sith13, azchief21 and oldtimer 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Definitely looks like CEH's primary need was some dedication to the run game. Even Williams got some quality touches. Hope this keeps up and we keep Mahomes to "modest" plays Iluvhouse24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it allows us to slow the game down, chew clock and somewhat play defense with our offense....Since our defense won't play defense.. sith13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just a few of us here backed him it seems. Thing is if he is playing horrible I will call him out in a minute. He just needs to be given a chance to prove his worth. If he keeps it up in what we saw yesterday, I don't think anyone will care if he was a 1st round pick. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in his corner from the first and especially with an O-line that can block. Still would be nice if he became more of a factor in the pass game. CEH is slow, but he can slip tackles for that extra yard or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We killed Buffalo in last season’s regular season game with CEH & the run game. This year’s OL is much better than last year’s OL. I’m hopeful for a similar strategy & outcome vs the Bills on Sunday night. qnet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, when the offense puts the defense on the field 3-4 times a game... it's not all on the defense. That said, I'd love to see a heavier running attack with more play-action on early downs... whatever keeps Patrick upright Iluvhouse24 and Joe_Chief 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the mentality that you're imposing your will on them and wearing them down. If your doing it successfully it makes the threat so much more. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
