D. Williams did a good job today making Cleveland have to respect the run. Solid game for him so I made a thread just for him. I think he had 6 yard a carry average. [Reply]

I don't know if Bell is done, but he is just not a good fit for this offense.
I think he's done. But you're right in that he's not a good fit for this offense. [Reply]
I admit I was hard on Darrell because I thought he was really slow and looked like he was running in quicksand. But he played really well yesterday and proved me wrong.
What a performance by Darrel Williams yesterday with CEH out of the lineup. He played 79% of the offensive snaps, racking up 94 yards from scrimmage on 17 touches.
His run on fourth down immediately following Mahomes' exit was one of the undercover plays of the game.

Scratch drafting a rb off the board always no matter what.

Agreed. Need OL, OL, OL, LB, and a WR among other things. [Reply]

If we were able to run more screens, Bell would likely increase in value. To me, his running style doesn't fit our o-line...BUT...if we ran a consistent screen game, he'd be earning his keep and we'd love him. The fact that we're simply not running much of a screen game renders Bell somewhat useless. [Reply]
Williams does run hard, my only nitpick is that it looks like he misses a lot of holes where he runs into the pile and if he would cut back, there would be some wide open spaces.
I think the only problem with Bell is that the Chiefs don't get away with holding like the Steelers do; he could wait for the 'block' which opened the hole to run through. [Reply]
