I think, with this specific OLine, an opportunity is wasted by not having a capable/elite RB - and that's aside from the positive impact it would have on the passing game. [Reply]

Kareem Hunt was a really good RB here. Elite is strong, but Jamall sure. It just didn't equate to wins. The RB position has been shown to be reliant on the OL so much more than vice versa, so I don't really care to much about the "Long run positive play" stuff, we have an ELite OL.
You're completely backwards. If running the ball is easier when you have a great QB, you don't need a great RB. When you have Tannehill, having Henry matters.

Just based on Toub's comments about Pacheco, it seems they're really opening the door wide for him to make it. Throw Mahomes' comments on top of that, it kind of feels like he could be a lock.
What I didn't expect is for this kid to possibly and potentially yank a roster space from Ronald Jones. And honestly, it makes me a little more excited to watch this kid in action. [Reply]

I would say A. I think this kid is explosive and he may only get 700 yards but then again he is a rookie and Andy does not run the damn rock. If he did run the rock then put me down for A. We will see what Andy has in store this season for this awesome RB! Love the guy and hope he succeeds! :-) [Reply]
