So maybe it was wishful thinking on my end, but I figured adding an extra 150lbs of beef to this OL was going to make a huge difference in the rushing game. And in a lot of ways I thought it was change the ways Reid approached the running game too. Maybe more stretch plays, maybe more power rather than traps and the usual.
Clyde has 46 yards today on 13 carries, and last week had 43 yards on 14 carries. We’re averaging 3.2 yards per carry as a team through two games.
I understand Cleveland has a solid front 4, and Baltimore is well coached despite their current injuries so it was going to be tough. But where is the push off the ball? This new OL should be mauling guys and seeing the run game absolutely suck is getting old and frankly concerning considering the additions. [Reply]

CEH doesn't have the speed to hit the outside, hence why they run him up the gut for negative yardage over and over, [Reply]

Neither am I. Brown and Thuney are not on the same page at times. Granted, CEH has his responsibilities to cover up the ball, but the fact of the matter that over reaction planet is not having is no RB on any roster can thrive in any environment getting hit 2yds behind the LOS and with less than second after receiving the handoff and expect success.
The DL issues are the most concerning to me. Those fat well paid mother fuckers better learn how play with a mean streak from whistle to whistle. [Reply]

It is 90% CEH and 10% the O-line. You can predict exactly where CEH is running the second Mahomes hands him the ball. The defenders barely have to think about where he will run to. [Reply]
It goes back to the big picture… why run the ball on 53% of first downs… which the Chiefs did last night when their obvious strength is the passing game (especially vs the Ravens defense). [Reply]
