I think the big unanswered question for us is what happens,
and we don't have the answer to
this yet, what happens when someone shuts down
the Chiefs running game? Nobody's been able to
do it yet. They're not going to be successful all 17 weeks
of the NFL season with the running game.
They're just not. It's not something that happens.
Walker so far has gone for 173, 117, 70, 177,
128. How confident are you guys that the Chiefs can convert
with this wide receiver group and
this offensive line in third and long
because they've been able to with the play action in
the running game keep teams off balance thus far yeah
that's a great question man who knows i think
a lot of it just hinges on can Rashee Rice return
to practice this week i'm not as worried and maybe
i should be i'm not trying to be the mr optimistic guy over here
but if they stop Kenneth Walker
that means they're stacking the box
that means you're going to see a lot of one-on-ones and a
lot of dudes having opportunities i i know that a lot
of the chiefs wide receivers are unsung guys
or unheralded dudes like Andrew Armstrong
or a fourth rounder and Cyrus or a fifth round or
fourth and Jalen Rose a fifth rounder
and cyrus i get that but when you look around the nfl that's
why those guys can be effective because
when teams load up the box to stop the run game
well even unheralded wide receivers will get
open i mean wide receivers have the advantage
over cornerbacks because the wide receivers know what the play call is.
