Some fun here. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 1,415 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior .. all-purpose yards -- receiving (55 receptions, 453 yards) and kick returner (KEY) 10 returns, 214 yards pic.twitter.com/3Duq1jjy6J
Holy offense Bat Man. I love Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is best Rb in the draft. Watkins and Hill deep. Kelce in the middle. And Edwards-Helaire underneath. Good Luck defenses.
Brett Veach told Andy Reid to watch some Clyde Edwards-Helaire film and told Reid you’ll see Brian Westbrook. Reid watched. Then got back to Veach and said he’s better than Westbrook.

Even a middling RB facing light boxes and defenses scheming to sell out against the pass should probably have better results than we are seeing from CEH.
I still hope he figures it out with the new line, but he certainly hasn’t been able to be the threat we all thought he’d be.
Agreed. He does play well in space. And Andy seemed reluctant to screen which is where I think CEH will do some damage. Maybe he's waiting for the OL to gel. I'm optimistic but maybe these games will be lessons for him to see the field better. [Reply]

I have no clue why to took an RB in the first round just for him not be used more. They used Williams a lot more. He was ignored in the SB completely and Sunday didn't do much.
There has to be more to the offense than Travis and Hill or it will fail us eventually. Somebody has be a third stud but so far it hasn't happened.
CEH, Hardman or Robinson should be more a part of the plan but clearly Mahomes doesn't fully trust them or they just are not very good in his eyes.
On third down you know where the ball is going. [Reply]

Not everybody. He's been real good at making people miss when he has just a little wiggle room. We haven't used him a whole ton in the screen game and I just wonder if that's coming once Reid feels comfortable with where the OL is at. [Reply]

Was hoping for more screens RB/TE this year just to at least slow down any pass rush , teams just seems to play us like every down is 3rd and long [Reply]
It seems the last few years our screen game to the RB has gone to shit is that because teams don't fear our run game so it is not very effective? [Reply]
