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.

No, but I think the point is, our running game as whole is going to be MUCH MUCH better with CEH than it ever was with Williams.
Williams made some huge plays when it mattered most, but throughout the reg season, the running game was sometimes non-existent. Thankfully the Chiefs passing attack was so good that even them being 1-dimensional on offense got them over the top and won them a SB.
The NFL got a good glimpse of what this Chiefs team is going to be like with a strong running game...and I think a lot of people in the league shit their pants Thurs night.
It's def a pick your poison defending Chiefs offense. They virtually have zero weakness with maybe exception of short yardage goaline situations, some of that has to do with scheme. CEH is a small back, probably good to put in Darrell Williams or Sherman in those scenarios. [Reply]

Damien's contribution in the passing game cannot be understated. We all know Helaire is going to catch passes soon but Damien Williams is criminally underrated by a lot of people here.
Also, CEH got a ton of yards running behind the left side of the line. Williams was running behind shit by comparison last year. Osemele is a huge upgrade so far and Andrew Wylie is still weak at the point of the attack, just like before. [Reply]
Williams was always more of a home run hitter, just look at his per game stats.
He had two 100+ yard regular season games in 2019. It only happened because he had runs of 84 and 91 yards. Otherwise he was JAG. He's always been this way, EXCEPT in playoffs. But even look at the Super Bowl, he got the build of his yards on the run that iced the game.
Don't get me wrong, its awesome to have a guy like that, but he's not the type of back that you can control the game with unless you are using him in the passing game. And the problem with that is that when you are up and need to put the game away, you don't really want to be passing the ball. CEH changers all of that. [Reply]

If the interior of our Oline can really step up CEH will shred all year.
Osemele looks like he has potential.
I don't trust Wylie
Reiter is still an unknown(disappointed that Allegretti hasn't gotten in there)
How the **** is Reiter an unknown? He’s been playing great football for 10+ games now. [Reply]

Just think what CEH would have done in the Super Bowl! Wouldn't need a comeback. [Reply]

Looks like his foot gets stuck and then he gets hit in the knee. I would bet there are plenty of players that would have a blown out knee after those hits. [Reply]
On a side note, I really wish Damien was here with us. I was so hyped to have Clyde and Damien here as our 1/2 punch. Elite caliber receiving weapons at RB on every down :-) [Reply]
