gochiefsgo 380 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I was surprised that they didn’t sign him initially. He was a great receiver out of the backfield and made some huge plays during the Divisional game against the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Great signing. As long as he's healthy an even split between CEH and McKinnon in the backfield snaps wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 yes, its all coming together. mckinnon back for the playoff run, gore and a random rookie to take a beating during the regular season. some dumb team suffers a devasting injury during camp and decides to give up too high a draft pick for either CEH or rojo. yessssssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't agree CEH needs to stay healthy and be used properly. He could have a decent year, not worth his draft position, but acceptable as the #1 RB. Like Fortson and Saunders, I'm hoping for a breakout. The question is who makes the roster at RB. Three plus a FB seems to be the limit on the active roster so Gore, Pacheko (sp?), Ely, and RoJo are all in danger of being cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I love that McKinnon threw EB under the bus for how he was treated, then Andy basically said McKinnon was being lazy. Now he is back playing for them. Full circle baby. Let's get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If put on waivers I think he would clear waivers. Teams dont value average RBs. Now I hope he kicks butt. If only Reid will run the ball. ROJO is not going to be cut.

Yeah it would be interesting for sure to see if he was claimed, i dont know exactly how cap hit works on waiver claims, but for example ceh has cap hits of around 3 mil for the next 2 seasons darrell williams has a cap hit of 1 mil on his new deal with the cardinals. so to your point, its hard to imagine a team taking on the contract of ceh when you can snag guys like williams off the street who are as good if not better for a third of the price.

On RPO's, isn't the choice of run or pass the QB's? I have been thinking the under-use of running was because Mahomes is a classic gunslinger and chooses that too much, not because of Reid. Otherwise, yes. With our new O-line, we should be running a lot more and create a lot more third and shorts. Humphrey and those guys can open up some big lanes. That is Orlando Brown's biggest talent right now also. It would also neutralize the great pass rushers that the AFC west has. It would give them pause so to speak.

If an RPO concept is run correctly the choice is made by the defender they're keying on nnot necessarily the QB. If they drop in coverage they can't fill rush lanes and vice versa. The QB just has to read this and the play proceeds accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the point. It is really not Reid's call. And to think that QB's decisions are made solely by the defense is wrong. The defense tries to cover both options if possible and give a deceptive look, and the QB's own abilities flavors his decisions. He is not captive to the defense without choice in the matter. If what you are saying is right, then why would Mahomes be choosing pass an excess amount of the time, even though defenses know that his abilities lie in the pass primarily? You know much more football than I do, but what you are saying doesn't seem to acknowledge that QB preferences play a part in the rapid decisions.

xen 1,010,220 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I didn't give an opinion on why mahomes makes a particular decision as it is impossible to tell without being in the room. Personally i do not think it's an issue. Mahomes typically makes good decisions. Our problems last year were more related to lack of reliable options past Kelce and Hill.

That second half vs cincy was a complete debacle. Really hope they are studying and understanding the adjustments cincy made. Eerie reminder of the SB vs Tampa.
