I’ll be in KC for the game. Coming in on Fri and flying home on Tues. Hitting a bunch of museums and checking out some of the historic speakeasies for a book I’m working on. Plus trying to decide which BBQ joints to visit.
Should be a great time. Hope to meet some of you guys at the game. [Reply]

Kamara’s a great player but we’ve shut down opponent running games (not counting Lamar’s pseudo RB play and a handful of WR and other QB runs that went nowhere):
Derrick Henry/Justice Hill: 14 for 49 (3.4 ypc)
Zack Moss/Chase Brown: 16 for 64 (4.0 ypc)
Bijan Robinson/Tyler Algiers: 23 for 63 (2.7 ypc)
JK Dobbins/Gus Edwards: 20 for 51 (2.6 ypc)
So we’ve given up 73 for 227 (3.1 ypc)
Oh yeah, we’ve also given up 116 yards on 12 receptions — 9.7 ypc — to RBs (half of those catches and yards went to one guy - Justice Hill). [Reply]
A strong rushing attack will be the key to the offense's success. The Saints have a pretty good secondary headlined by Lattimore and our old friend the Honey Badger. Their DT's are not good while ED Granderson is having to an elite start.
Obviously we know about the Saints offense. Carr is a streaky QB but the overall talent on that side of the ball is good. Kamara is one of the best RB's in the league when healthy. Olave is a really good WR.
It won't be an easy game but it's in Arrowhead and Kareem was brought some new life to the RB position since Pacheco injury. After today's performance there should be absolutely no question who RB1 is while Pacheco is out. Andy needs to quit missing around here. Check the stats from today's games, it's not close. [Reply]
