If CEH doesn't do that next week vs the Chargers, Stop Giving Him Carries.

Kareem Hunt came back and did this:

When CEH does something like this, everyone will get off his case.

The problem with being optimistic about CEH is that it’s pretty clear at this point he only gets what is readily available, sometimes even less, due to blocking and scheme and that’s basically it. So even with a good game here and there he is still going to have left more out there so a good game isn’t going to be a sign of improvement at all for me.

He will never be anywhere near Kareem Hunt. He is what we are seeing.

Keller would be less likely to run straight into a the only group of people in the way.

Didn’t CEH fumble late in the Bills regular season game last year, but thankfully his knee was down just a split second before the ball popped out?

Getting rid of Hunt was a ****ing HUGE mistake. One that will continually haunt us for ages. With him our offence was the perfect machine.

That’s correct.

In any case, whether he's capable of improving or not, while it is important to create a culture where you trust your players, there needs to be a message sent.

Andy needs to drastically reduce Clyde's carries. Let him figure out and find those holes while on the bench.

Inexcusable shit like this needs to be met head on and dealt with. We're on a mission. Don't fuck up that mission for everybody else.

But nope, he was just running straight up the wall of people instead.

He's too slow and his strides are too short to bounce it outside. This a huge limitation in his game. His lack of speed really becomes apparent when you see him running diagonally towards the sideline.

Gotta move on from him, it's not going to get better.

Players play.

I don't love the call but Mahomes carving them up was probably precisely why Reid went to the run there. He'd seen our defense. He knew we needed to bleed the clock.

IIRC, it was 1st & 10 right around midfield with a little under 2 minutes left. Knowing we absolutely have to run clock, the whole playbook is open there.

That one was on CEH.

If I blame Reid for anything, it'd be continuing to trot CEH out there as the starter. He's completely ineffective.

Need to promote Gore, If anything hopefully it lights a fire under his ass.

Yeah, at first I thought he was just missing the read to the outside. Now I'm wondering if he's just not capable of bursting to the outside. Because defenses are giving that to him many many times.

Letting D. Williams go was a mistake..... No clue why we did
[Reply]

I think Andy needs to bench CEH and claim injury. Call up Gore and lead with Darrel Williams. It gives CEH an excuse, gives him time to figure shit out, and it's possible he isn't playing at 100% which isn't helping. Hopefully gore shines and CEH has to fight his way into playing time.
