Chiefs What will Pachecos carry share be next few weeks? - Page 2

With Pacheco coming back soon how do we think he’ll be eased in?

Even if he’s good for this weekend do we see him taking on a lot of carries knowing we’re playing Carolina with a quick turnaround on a Friday game?

I see a lot of people thinking hunt will move to a small role but I don’t think they’re considering the short week.

Only if he's not fully conditioned yet. Otherwise, let him rip.

This should be the only hold up. How fast is he able to get into football shape.

How long has he been able to workout?

If he's in shape, then he's gonna get 60-70% of the carries.

Mahomes

Pacheco
Hunt

Hopkins
Brown
Worthy
Smith-Schuster
Watson
Hardman

Kelce
Gray
Hendershot

That's an offense that can probably get you 25+ points reliably once it's the playoffs and we're not hiding plays anymore.

Can any of these guys play LT?

Yeah, for me it’s about football shape. And coming off of injury and immediately jumping into a short week.

I feel like Kareem will be the workhorse this weekend with the hopes of a quick lead and next Friday we will see way more of a Pacheco game.

It's Panthers week... unleash Perine and have the others on a pitch count.

Not many carries this week I bet....but let him get in there and get hit a few times to remember what it feels like.

5-10 Carries.

If they’re all hot, that’s a total win!

Damn! You fixed it before my post hit. Lol

Gotta get Hunt rest so he’s fresh for the real season… and get the rust knocked off Pacheco/CEH …. Perine needs more involved in the offense the next 2-3 weeks.

Gotta have a full arsenal when it matters.

The Chiefs have largely fixed their problem at LT. They’re giving Morris a fair amount of help.

The rest of the OL needs to play up to their talent, and Mahomes needs to course correct some of his mistakes. Nagy needs to stop being experimental with his pass blocking schemes.

But an unspoken element of that issue is that the WRs need to get open.

Brown will help a lot, there.

I think it will be a bash brothers thing…every other series and the go hot hand.

Either way….one of them tenderizes the defense, the other comes in fresh and punishes them.

I’m excited.

I think Pacheco will ease into the 3rd down role. Perine has been average in that role to date. Pacheco is a good pass protector, and catches the ball well. I think they’ll ease him back there first.

Too conservative, give him a solid work load 16-18 carries.

Time to hammer down and stop with the slow playing. He’ll be fine
