Chiefs Health watch: Tyreek, Travis, Darrell, Byron & Clyde - Page 6

Need the boys to get right.

Bye would help a ton.

As of Friday, 1/14: Clyde out, everyone else should be active, although Darrel is listed as "Questionable."

Agree we have depth but would just love an elite one. Watching Jacobs and Ekeler the other night was disheartening when thinking about our RBs.

The more touches Gore gets the closer we get to having an explosive running attack.

That run against the Bengals was special.

Who said that?

McKinnon might be our best pass blocking Rb. That dude engages his blocks with wreckless abandon.

Anyone remember that wicked block he had in the preseason?

Oh jesus, it was this clown who said that?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

My guess is it was more in the bumps/bruises category that goes away after a couple days.

Hip pointer seems most likely.

McKinnon has shown more burst and vision than Gore. The guy even runs with more power than I expected.

The issue w/ McKinnon has always been injuries and durability. Welp - the post-season is here and he's on a 1-year deal. Empty the tank.

I'd start him. If he gets hurt, he gets hurt. But he's a veteran RB w/ some juice in his legs who knows how to block and can catch out of the backfield. He's demonstrated vision and versatility. There's no reason why he can't get a significant snap share going forward.

If we're up big, it's time to start rotating players.

I love your positive attitude, but pitch count? Nope, not this year because we won't be up big on anybody IMHO. Every game will be tight to the end thus ALL HANDS ON DECK !!:-)

Where's his 50-yard run, then? :-)

Gore has given the most explosive plays of any RB on this roster this year.

You don't know what a cutback is.

I mean...dang dude.

Sorry but I am not starting McKinnon in a playoff situation. That guy is a fumble waiting to happen, and he can't move a pile.

I'm not sure you do, dumbass. Gore cut that run back, period. Now, it wasn't a traditional cutback run like Denver used to break us with, but it was a cutback.

This post pretty much guarantees he's going to Damian Williams us to a SB win.
