Run game

[Calichief 3,016]

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. 

[Calichief 3,016]

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.

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.  

[Biggjliv4 1,292]

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.

Imagine how this line will look as they gel and the rookies get more experience come December/January...

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.

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.

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

Hell yea! Moar running game is always good.

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..

Thank you for being one of the few that saw CEH for what he is. An underutilized weapon.

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.

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.

Rushing attempts this season:

Blake Bell- 1

Jerick McKinnon- 0

Don't understand him not getting at least a few carries/game

[Spfdchiefsfan 621]

If he can hold on to the damn ball, I love the idea of feeding him with this line, he could do great things!

Reid barely remembers to call run plays for CEH and Williams...I would expect nothing different.

Don't understand hin not getting a few targets as well.  Guess as long as CEH and Darrell are making yards, #1 isn't needed.

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.

This offense can handle anyone.  It's the defense that makes the offense play a perfect game to win.

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

this is what I’ve been saying for a couple years. Here’s a coach saying it better than I do. I like this guy. Not gonna lie. And the chargers will be on our asses for years to come. What a good time for the afc west and to be fans of kc and la

Yeah, I like the way he broke that down. It makes so much sense, and one of those things that's obvious.

I like when he talked about the physical aspect, and making the defense take on blocks & tackle. 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.

I agree. I like what he said and how he said it.
