I am intrigued by our new 3 headed power rushing backfield with Pacheco, Perine and Steele. However, I worry that Andy just will not stick to a power rushing gameplan.
In 2023
CHIEFS 1784 TOTAL RUSHING YARDS
OPPONENTS 1925 TOTAL RUSHING YARDS
CHIEFS RUSHING ATTEMPTS 417 - 4.3 PER ATTEMPT
OPPONENTS RUSHING ATTEMPTS 432 - 4.5
What do you think our rushing yards, attempts and per attempt will be this year?
In 2024
CHIEFS ______ TOTAL RUSHING YARDS
OPPONENTS _______ TOTAL RUSHING YARDS
CHIEFS RUSHING ATTEMPTS ____ - _____ PER ATTEMPT
OPPONENTS RUSHING ATTEMPTS ______ - _______

I don't think anybody is saying we should be running the ball 30 plus times a game (unless it's because we've got like a 4 TD lead in the 2nd quarter).
But yes, we really do need to run the ball SOME, to make the defense play honest. You don't want them just teeing off on Mahomes.
I sure hope so because given that we run zone, the "power" aspect sure goes out the window. If they aren't talking about the bigger running backs, I don't rightly know what they expect.

Steele = ~400 yrds + ~175 rec yrds & ~4 TDs
I'm hoping Perine is the new McKinnon, took a late flyer on him in my FF draft today!
Curious what your predictions are for the above CP?
