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.

CEH is a better receiver but they have similar vision, running styles and contact balance. Faulk is also a good comparison, style wise.
By the quarter season mark, there will be discussions about what teams have a chance at beating us and who will give CEH a run for the OROTY trophy...maybe even ROTY.
If we end up with another Faulk, or even close to it- the offense will be nearly impossible to stop. Yes, the Rams had the Greatest show through the air, but it was their running game with Faulk that really gutted defenses. If CEH is what we hope he is, we could see the Chiefs having that same kind of offense that completely demoralizes a defense. [Reply]

Pretty sure our offense already does that, but I get your point. [Reply]
On a slightly-related note, check out last year's regular season game against the Ravens to see how CEH might be used. Pat didn't hesitate to sling it out to Daryl Williams or McCoy (prior to injury) for nice gains. [Reply]

In 2018, when Hunt was the primary back until about week 11(?), the Chiefs averaged 37pts/gm (36.9). Good enough for 1st in scoring in the NFL. After we lost Hunt, the Chiefs scoring average went down to 32.2 pts/gm.
In 2019 w/ Damien, the team averaged 28.1 points/game, good enough for just 6th in the league in scoring.
So, respectfully, I have to disagree. The team's offensive efficiency and production would be stratospheric if CEH works out at least as well as Hunt did. [Reply]
