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.

Exactly. And he seemed to read the holes pretty well. He was quick and decisive. He should continue to jell with the oline moving forward. [Reply]

He's literally got two arthritic knees.
If we're going to swing at a past-his-prime RB, let's at least go after AD. Guy just has a gambling problem. [Reply]

Yes, and the Charges are almost as bad at stopping the run as the Chiefs are. So who knows? But regardless it was a good performance, except for the fumble.. [Reply]

Very true.
I will also note that the Chargers had much less success on the ground against us than we had against them.
Chargers ran for 77 yards at 3.5 per carry. Chiefs ran for 186 at 6.2 per carry.
Had you shown me that stat before the game, I’d assume a blowout win.
Of course, there’s another stat that was 4-0 in favor of the Chargers. [Reply]

Hopefully 2 in 2 weeks is bad luck and not the start of a trend.
Yeah, it's strange that he's got 2 in 2 weeks after never having a fumble before, but what's an acceptable rate of fumbling? I'm sure even Marcus Allen fumbled about every 5 or 6 games. Every back is going to fumble. [Reply]

Of course and what's acceptable will likely vary on a number of factors. Rate versus other metrics such as TDs and overall yards is obvious a large factor (Zeke lead 2020 with 6 for RBs). Maybe critical timing like giving the game away in Baltimore. The overall team as well. Our shit defense can't absorb turnovers the way some others that have at least a pulse at pass rush, LBers in actual position to make a play, and secondaries that don't get caught grabbing can.
So yeah I'm not sure where the acceptable rate for KC will land but we're finding out quickly. [Reply]
