My concern was would Reid do it more. He seems to be doing that this year so far, and I hope he sticks with it, especially with this O line.

Hey, it’s even more important now as we need to eat some clock and keep our defense off the field. oldtimer and qnet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I’ve been saying for a long time. But there is a reason why Andy didn't employ a run game much. The run blocking last year for the most part was atrocious. This year's group is bigger, bulkier and nastier. The interior OL is fun to watch. I hope Andy keeps the balance we had last week. If so this offense is unguardable.

jetlord 10,209 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Not only do the Chiefs have confidence in the run game on third/fourth and short, they are forcing the opponent defense to play honest. Several times they gashed the Eagles in their 1-3 formation both by running and by tossing to Hill short. Opens up all kinds of opportunities.

This upcoming game may be a bigger test. dhitter's point about the run-blocking in prior seasons was solid IMO. If it's truly better they should be able to run against the Bills and that will help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Running is only good for situational football and to keep teams from sitting on the deep ball. Otherwise keep the ball in Pat's hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes4six! 972 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Chiefs are gonna have to run the ball more period. Teams are playing deep safeties and there is light boxes. Until we can make them come down run game is going to be key and quick short passes. Now what will be interesting is how Gordon fits into this. I can’t wait. I think in this game we may see more McKinnon and his speed. Just a hunch. I also hope gay Clark ward Fenton and Jones all play. That will help. oldtimer and AFCWEST 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
