It's actually pretty surprising how good the number is, but that's Patrick Mahomes-Scrambles and Kareem Hunt in short yardage, which are high EPA plays.
So they've got to improve there, and it goes beyond that talent.
It's got to be the scheme's got to evolve.
They've got to stop being this RPO-heavy offense.
I tweeted this out yesterday.
The Chiefs were second in the league in RPOs run.
They ran 130 of them.
They threw on 110 of those RPOs.
So at an 84% rate, if they were running RPO, they were passing the ball.
and they were barely handing the ball off.
Their pass rate on RPOs was the highest in the league by a wide margin.
So they've got to get out of that world because it doesn't help their offensive linemen.
Thinking of players like Trey Smith who like to get downhill and are road graders, they've got to get back to running some more traditional run concepts like duo and gap runs rather than this outside zone.
And I know Kenneth Walker can do some of that, but Kenneth Walker said himself he prefers to be under center.
So I think as a whole, I was kind of disappointed that they weren't able to bring in a true blocking tight end because I think that that's an area.
You've got those guys on the field blocking in the run game consistently.
Why not upgrade that position to help the run game?
Hopefully Eric Bien-Ami can kind of fold in some of the stuff he learned from the Ben Johnson offense, which is a very creative run game.
And the other thing is, and you hit on it there, like Josh Simmons, I think he needs to โ
He showed the potential to be an all-pro caliber type of player.
