I’ve seen enough. Dude is as meh as it gets. Pacheco needs to take his spot yesterday. Dude has bad vision and he’s slow.
I hope we scout the cuts list to find another RB to add to the group so we can cut him. Seriously the only reason this guy is still on the roster is because he was a first rd pick. [Reply]

I get what Schwartz (both of them) are driving at, but for me the worst part is watching that dude stutter on every carry trying to make a decision. [Reply]
McKinnon could certainly be doing a lot better, but still a little early to call him a bust. He looked really good in the playoffs and we picked him up for nothing last year. [Reply]

Problem with Rojo has always been his blocking. If he's in we're either telegraphing a run or possibly getting Mahomes killed. He was an odd pick up. Agree with Pacheco, may also be the same with RT - if things don't improve at some point we need to be considering other options on the roster [Reply]

Pacheco had 2 nice runs on Sunday from under center and then didn't get another carry aside from a goal line situation. Just sums up chiefs attitude to running the ball. The shot gun run game is terrible but under center a lot better but Reid won't use it. [Reply]

Combination of poor design as the angle is just way too flat; essentially forces CEH to the right, but also IND defense just played this very well. 90 effectively shuts down the run to the right with his penetration, and the LB 44(?) is spying CEH so the cutback is eliminated as well. The only criticism I might have is that CEH could've lost one less yard if he'd taken the cutback.
But I can't fault him for trying to be patient and allow the blocking to develop in front of him.
Really KC needs to run more traditional run plays that allow our RBs to take proper angles so that they can see the situation in front of them better, but also allow them to make a cutback a full speed, which this play doesn't do either.
Bottom line, CEH is not the reason this play failed. None of our RBs could've done any better in the rep, and I doubt more than 3-4 RBs in the NFL could've broken this run for any significant gain. [Reply]
