Did great tonight. Reid needs to feed him the ball more to keep the defense honest and force DBs to play closer to the LOS so that Hill can feast. [Reply]

I feel like Reid has been burned by injuries so often he is almost doing whatever he can to preserve him. I can't think of any other reason for going away from him the way we did. He was torching them every chance he got and we would go right back to screen passes check downs right after. [Reply]

Hunt looked like the best player on the field and sealed the game with a 69-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs offensive line continued to give Hunt space to find holes and he took advantage, averaging over 10 yards per carry. The rookie gained 67 of his 172 yards after contact, and forced 7 missed tackles on the day.
Hell, looked like he had 7 missed tackles on the one play where they finally forced him out of bounds yet still on his feet... [Reply]

Hunt has never played a 16 game season and his running style is brutal. It would have been optimal to have Ware get 5-8 carries a game to spell Hunt. It would have been an elite 1-2 punch.
Ware has the same bruising style and his play fell off last year because he was beat up. Reid obviously doesn't want that to happen so he's purposely holding Hunt to 15-18 carries a game.
We need to find a RB to get 5-7 touches a game because West has been garbage. [Reply]

If they knew he was going to be this good, he should have been picked with their first available draft pick the Chiefs had, after Mahomes.
And besides the Chiefs, every team in the NFL passed on him TWICE. I dont think there is any "credit" to give out to anyone in the NFL. The whole league whiffed on Hunt, and we got lucky. [Reply]

But Dorsey did trade up in the third round to take, which means they liked him a lot, while recognizing to some extent, how other teams valued him.
