The running game was trash after week 6 or 7 last year. The difference in the playoff game wasn't Smith vs Roethlisberger, they were both shitty. The difference was LeVeon Bell vs Spencer Ware. One had 175 yards and the other had 35.

I think Hunt will be like Ware, a decent #2 running back but struggles to maintain his play over a full season.

Well, if we are going to play the LeVeon Bell vs. game.... it is going to be a long night.

Was LeVeon Bell on the board when we picked Hunt?

How can you predict that his play won't maintain over a full season? What are you basing that on? That's a strange thing to say. It's not like we have any answer as the why that happened to Ware still. My best guess is it was because he has never been a workhorse before. Since that's not the case with Hunt, I'm calling bullshit on your prediciton.

You may be right about Hunt and Ware being roughly equal, but dont forget that Ware was a 6th rounder and a lot of the pundits had 3rd round Hunt rated evenly with bigger names like Dalvin Cook

Its a small sample admittedly, but all of the clips I've watched on Hunt suggest that he is a better pure runner, with better instincts and vision

4.4 YPC and a TD that game.

Andy only gave him 8 carries

Cause hes not a guy that avoids contact. Like Ware, he bounces off a bunch of guys and keeps going. That works fine in the beginning of the season, but as the season goes in, all that extra contact wears on the body and it starts to break down. That's what happened to Ware last year. Good early. Bad late in the season

There are also many RB's who manage to take a beating and keep going. Your claims are baseless.

Also, I don't think you've watched much of him because he doesn't always just duck his head and take guys on. He makes moves to get by them too.

Spencer Ware has moves too. But his game is based on contact and going through that contact. Same as what I've seen from Hunt. Like I said, Ware isn't a bad running back and hunt probably won't be bad. But they're both going to be about average. I've been spiked by Priest, Jamaal and even Larry Johnson to some degree to expect more from KC running backs.

People have posted the stat about him causing the most missed tackles in college football for the last 48 hours, he doesnt really look slick doing it... but he knows how to avoid contact
[Reply]

It appears to me he knows how to take it more than avoid it.
[Reply]

it must be our old eyes tricking us, because it sure looked that way to me, too...

he just flat out broke a lot of tackles, a shit ton!!

me lykeey theese pick!!!! :-) :-) :-)

What Dorsey did was get us our own version of Freeman/Coleman. You have two guys who can run the ball and also catch in space. Every 3rd game, you give Hunt extra reps so that Ware can rest his legs a little bit.

20% of Matt Ryan's production last year was throwing it down to the RB. Also holds true for Brady the last few seasons.

Love this move by Dorsey.

Looks like he's playing pinball out there. He seems to know what angles to take to draw a bad tackle and squeeze in a few extra yards.

Some of you need to watch more video of him because you have no clue what you're talking about, this kid is special.

But the floor on quitter Joe is much lower.
