So I don't know if you're with me or not with me on this.
Make the case.
Okay, I'll make the case.
I understand it.
The Chiefs need to be more explosive in the run game.
I get the thinking.
They ranked 29th in explosive rush rate last year.
They ranked 30th in explosive rush rate
in 2024.
So I get that they need to be more explosive in the run game.
But I thought we had a lot of evidence to suggest that explosive run games are more about the scheme and the blocking than specifically the running back.
I mean, we just saw Saquon Barkley go from 17 runs of 20 plus yards in 2024 to four.
Last year.
And Saquon Barkley physically looked like the same guy.
And then I'm looking at the Chiefs.
In 2023, Deontay, they ranked eighth in explosive rush rate.
That was with Isaiah Pacheco and Clyde Edward-Tiller.
In 2020, they ranked 10th.
That was with Clyde Edward-Tiller.
and Le'Veon Bell.
