Pro bowl RB backed up by OROTY. That’s a pretty damn good duo.
I wouldn’t take a small sample size for the majority here considering the Ravens were 5th in run defense last year and still gave up 165 rush yards to Chubb in their loss to them in 2019.
They shut down the Texans for 51 rush yards last Sunday, who they coincidentally had 7 YPC on us from Johnson.
I love Clyde, but he hasn’t proven to be consistent between the tackles against good defenses. Texans are ass on defense minus Watt and Cunningham. Clyde had one good run against the Chargers, but the other 9 were for barely over 2 YPC.
The key here is going to be the OL and passing game setting up Clyde for success IMO [Reply]

Lol small sample size that you’re comparing to another small sample size :-)
LeSean McCoy had 6.8 YPC against the Ravens last year with Cameron Erving at LT.
The key to this game will be very simple: can the Ravens get consistent pressure with just their four down DLs, or do they have to bring a 5th player to get to Mahomes?
Whether the Ravens D is better or not is irrelevant. The Chiefs have faced and beaten the best defenses in the league in the biggest games, and the only way any team has consistently put the brakes on Mahomes is by being able to get home with just 4 DLs.
Last year BAL couldn't. Is the addition of Calais and that other guy I'm drawing a blank on right now enough? We really don't know. Their performance against the Browns bottom-feeding OL or the Texans nearly equally inept OL doesn't really tell us anything.
Maybe they are better than last year. But are they as good as that Chargers front? Or the 49ers front? [Reply]

You clearly didn’t read my post bc it said they were 5th in run defense last year, as in a full 16 game sample size. They also added Campbell who was damn good at Jacksonville as well as Wolfe who was good when he was healthy.

Translation: the passing game will open up the running game and help the OL like it did last year, which is why I said I want us to come out in 11 personnel and throw the ball.
They have a very good run defense despite you falsely stating otherwise. We can run the ball on even the best run defense if Pat is destroying them passing the ball. Ravens got ran on last year bc they were getting torched through the air and had to start putting more DB’s on the field and play the pass full time [Reply]
The #Chiefs have both backers carry to the safeties in their zones. Hitchens carries rather far then gets turned around. Back has a ton of free real estate out of the flats. Team missing Breeland & Ward both would get off the block and make the tackle. #JacobsEyeInTheSky#Chiefspic.twitter.com/SnrpJEiYwT
First play. Hitchens fills the right spot with Jones crashing down. The offensive lineman helped keep the back up after he absorbed the blow and gain about 7 extra yards. #JacobsEyeInTheSky#Chiefspic.twitter.com/fBfEI7dzqA

I was clearly referring to comparing week 2 to week 1.
I don’t care what they finished in run D last year. I care about what we did with an old brokedick RB and one of the worst OT’s in football.
We ran the ball fine last year and that was without CEH, Fisher, and the threat of Tyreek.
Also, you continue to throw Wolfe’s name around like he’s not an old brokedick. Campbell is no spring chicken either. They lost Wormley, who’s a better player than Wolfe at this point. They might’ve upgraded their interior pass rush with Campbell, but other than that it’s not a huge difference from last years DL. [Reply]

They’ve tried the blitz heavy stuff the last two years and it hasn’t worked well enough. Now they have Peters, who maybe can steal one in a deep zone with his eyes on Mahomes.
I know, they’d still give up points cause the talent isn’t on par with LAC, but it’s the only scheme that really has given Mahomes and Reid much trouble beyond a half of football.

Well someone thinks so. Vegas seems to think Baltimore is going to win by at least three points. [Reply]
