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.

according to Reid, yeah.
I think I'll take Big Red's word for it for now. [Reply]

As the season wears on, you'll see more and more of Clyde as he has more and more of the offense under his belt.
I expect a nice even overall season split between them.
Williams of course isn't super durable while CEH will be adjusting to NFL power, speed and the much longer season. They probably shouldn't overwork him as a rookie while they still have DWill. [Reply]

But then again, more than 50% of people that read my reasoning for taking a Feature Back early thought it would never happen because of Damien.
I don't agree with that, at all, and I'm very happy the Chiefs agree with me, not them.
I think if there's any question, any question at all over CEH's pass blocking on Day 1 then Damien will be the starter. Reid has always put a lot of value in that in the offense and watching the All 22 of the Super Bowl it's clear why. Part of why I think Damien might be the starter isn't due to Damien homerism, but the likelihood that training camp will be cancelled due to COVID. CEH is just not going to get the reps he would in a traditional offseason.
If he stays healthy, I'm about at 100% that CEH will be the starter by the end of the year, though. Potentially much earlier. [Reply]

I don't think Andy's going to demote Damien after what he did in the last quarter of the season and the playoffs, and most particularly how Damien balled in the SB. Damien earned the right to start the season. Plus, Damien knows the playbook, and at this point, he's the better pass pro guy.
At some point after week 6, CEH might take over (assuming Damien stays healthy, then all bets are off). [Reply]

Also, JT is great, tons of wear, not nearly the receiver CEH is, and his name is too close to 90s tiny teen bopper JTT. **** him.
Why say.....not nearly the receiver......when JT scored five times catching the ball, CEH....one td.
Taylor is 5-11 220, CEH 5-8 208, Taylor cooks a sizzlin' 4.38 40, CEH a ho hum 4,60. Taylor did more at the NCAA level than CEH.
If you must spend a first round pick on a RB it had to be Taylor. [Reply]
