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.

So was it really such a smart idea to take a RB in the first when he doesn't appear to be fully utilized in this system?
You just made your own argument.
When the Bills sold out to stop the pass, CEH came through.
We're going to see more of it down the stretch and having weapons in the backfield makes sure we don't get trapped being one-dimensional. [Reply]

I think he will be used more in the next 7 games. Teams are going to continue trying to find ways to beat the Chiefs. I'm sure the Buffalo method will be tried again...be patient. [Reply]

Not one of the major storylines - but CEH balled out tonight. I think he got at least 2-3 more yards after contact than say Darryl Williams would have. He just seems to always finds a way to flip forwards grind out a few more yards. That's huge. [Reply]

I agree. Problem is that I doubt Bell has even a third of the playbook digested. But Williams probably has just about the entire thing committed to muscle memory. I figure that's why Williams was in during that last drive to win it. Williams knows the whole playbook, CEH and Bell do not. [Reply]

I'd imagine knowing the playbook helps RBs in pass protection, which Williams is already decent at [Reply]
