Chiefs Could the sausage be a competent goalline back?

In no way am I giving up on CEH after one week in the same role, but just throwing out food for thought (pun intended). A lot of teams use a lot of different backs in a lot of different ways. For teams that don't have a bruiser or a pounder, could the sausage fill that role and be a TD machine at the goalline?

I'm also not as smart as our coaches and don't pretend that I am qualified to suggest I know better than them how to get the most out of our players, or utilize them in the best ways to win. Again, I'm just asking a question specific to the sausage in general.

I prefer the jet sweeps near the goal line with Tyreek/Hardman.

Also it pads Mahomes’ stats since those count as TD passes.

CEH will be fine. McCullough and Bieniemy said he didn't always follow what was given to him on those plays, which would indicate that it's a coaching thing, not an ability thing. We all know Clyde is super coachable, so we'll be alright. Darrell Williams also has a good track record at short yardage carries. I believe he's never failed to convert for first downs when we've given him the ball on 3rd and 4th and short.

If we go to Sherman once in awhile, it will surprise teams, but he shouldn't be our version of the Fridge. That's not really who he is. The Packers years ago tried that with their FB John Kuhn, and it almost never worked. I was pretty shocked they kept coming back to him again and again to be honest.

Short answer, HELL YES!! I'm not saying he should get the ball at the 5, but 1st and goal at the 1 or 2, why not? We need to quit trying to outsmart the other team every time and just punish them instead.

I agree right behind that left side

I mean not saying the guy couldnt score at all, but hes got 25 career carries, lets just let the professional ball carriers do the thing.

Better as a lead blocker for Williams.

No. He's not worth anything more than an occasional surprise FB dive down there.

I don't think he's explosive enough for a critical situation. Best used as a surprise attack.

I prefer my fullbacks to catch 30 yard wheel routes against divisional opponents.

He looked good in Denver a few yrs ago ,pats 1st start?

I'd rather we just throw a deep fade to him at the goal line

Take a look at the video highlights I posted from last weeks game.

Tyreek could have walked into the end zone had Mahomes tossed it to him. :-)

Maybe.

Reid needs to (and will) open up the playbook more in those situations when it matters. Put the ball in Mahomes’s hands with options. He’ll get a TD with three attempts within the 10 almost every time.

He can be our Peyton Hillis.

Sherman should never touch the ball unless it is a play where he is the last option. I guess you could do the fake toss fullback trap once a game to keep the defense honest but it seems like in the NFL he is just going to get stacked up after he runs right into the guards ass.
