Should we be concerned about this right now? Damien can have his moments but as each game goes by you realise he's not one to be grinding out yards. Mccoy has flashed but again he's not best running between the tackles and the coach's don't seem to trust Darwin at the moment despite looking impressive in pre-season. So that leaves Darrel Williams and I was very surprised that he didn't get many touches on Sunday after he performed so well in the the two previous games!!..like WTF is Andy thinking? The offense when healthy is brilliant but come playoff time and in the seasons ahead we're gonna need balance. It's games like Sunday that Kareem's demise really hurts us. [Reply]

Yep..a whole damn year without a TD like that is crazy and that's why I hope Veach is looking at the RB room closely. [Reply]

The run game remains a problem imo and one 100 yard game from Clyde where he fumbled doesn't prove anything. Williams and Mckinnon obviously aren't guys who are making a big difference right now so our whole ground attack is in the hands of Clyde and when he can't get going it pretty much makes our offense totally one dimensional which plays into defenses hands. Marlon Mack, Todd Gurley whoever, we need another option who can run with aggression and take the rock to the house once in a while. Can anyone remember a long td run from a chiefs RB in recent times? Maybe Williams in the superbowl? It's been too long.
Exactly, and opposing defenses don't respect the run. There's not a running back we have that's a threat to break tackles and take it to the house. Our running backs, now, are not seen as legit weapons. That's a problem. [Reply]

That and defenses are perfectly fine making the Chiefs take the long way to the end zone. You're more likely to beat the Chiefs by making them play perfect, 13 play drives to score than you are to just let them zing the ball all over the place. As we've seen, shit happens when you have play like that....turnovers....penalties etc.
CEH breaking off 6-8 yard runs at most is something they'd prefer to deal with. But yes, w/o a true home run hitter our run game isn't scary. It can be effective, but not scary enough to force those safeties up into the box. [Reply]

The more you know....
But he still got nine TD's and 842 total yards detard because he's a master in the redzone...but lemme guess, his booty ain't big enough for you right? :-) [Reply]

And this is why Williams has been missed. Did he churn out consistent yards and move the chains? No..but he could break off huge runs that turned games. In his last year here he broke big ones against The Vikings, Chargers and Niners...that was three in about eight games.. i watched highlights from Macks 2019 season and he was aggressive, elusive and broke off big runs for scores..hell he killed us on the ground too when the Colts beat us that year.

Quit being a desperate fag boy. At least come up with some new content instead of saying the same goddamn thing over and over again for over a month now while chasing my posts just to thumb them down like a jaded twink.
The fact is, Gurley was awful last season.
You're over here arguing that the run game isn't explosive (no shit) while pining for what was the least explosive RB in the league last year.
Fact: Todd Gurley was 48th in YPC and 28th in yardage DESPITE being 12th in the league in carries.
...Yet you think he's going to come out and provide these big long runs that the Chiefs need.
Clearly, you have no clue what you're talking about.
Now, maybe you can try to stop being such an insecure little bitch all the time and people might start taking your football takes seriously, as it's clear as day how badly you want acceptance on this forum (arguing over 4th stringers and PS players is laughable). [Reply]
To Recap for the non-jaded twinks reading this thread:
Todd Gurley: ONE run all season over 15 yards. EIGHT games under 3.0 YPC
48th in the league in YPC. 28th in Yardage. 12th in attempts.
Uchieffyinsecurewannabe: "He's the explosive back we need"
Yes yes, and Fountain is the 2nd best WR on the team and PTW is better than the Eagles LT that they just paid $64M for and whatever other dumb shit you say and subsequently take yourself WAAAAY too seriously over. [Reply]

That's great but CEH's fumbles have to stop and like now. That's one this past week against the Chargers in a one score game and one the week before at a crucial time.
Don't know what's going on there but if it continues other RBs need to get more carries. This team just isn't good enough to overcome them consistently. [Reply]

Bwahahaha this clown wants to talk about being taken seriously when he argued against Fortson and scolded folks for wanting Gordon?? What a deluded moron :-) . And furthermore the long runs are just ONE ISSUE you melon...i specifically said we need a back who runs with aggression and spite!!..Gurley demands respect because he's deadly at what counts the most which is SCORING TOUCHDOWNS dummy..which non of our backs are good at which instantly means he improves the RB room.
Marlon Mack is my first choice because of his speed but if a dunce like you would prefer Darrel Williams to Gurley then go ahead..be the same old DETARD you've always been for all I care :-) [Reply]
