Who won?
I take nothing away from the Chiefs team ... they have a high octane offense with great players ...
But that that Texans defense is trash. I don't see much improvement on their O line either. O'Brien and co has a ton of work to do.
25 carries for a buck-thirty eight (5.5 ypc).
As if the Chiefs needed more offensive firepower... wow!
Mahomes & Watson didn't do too bad either.The Owners.
Spending a first round pick on a back up RB is only ever a good idea*if* you plan to let the starter go by the start of the following season.I was really wishing we would draft CEH. Not a knock on Ruiz, but IMO CEH would have been a perfect back up to AK should he get injured or price himself out of our range. CEH is a very good runner and receiver who can do everything AK does.

Well they had 1 less pair of eyes on their advertisers' products... Saints games only for meThe Owners.
He can’t do short yardage like Kamara. Not even close. AK can run with power.I was really wishing we would draft CEH.

while I do agree, we've never had a true #1 work horse RB since Payton's been the HC. He's always had a rotational backfield (Deuce/Bush, PT/Bush/Bell, Ingram/AK). The knock on AK has always been if he could handle the full workload of a true #1 RB. Last season he was dinged up and we forced him out there and he was unable to perform like his usual super human self and it was very noticable. IMO Having a similar RB like CEH would have allowed him time to heal. We also have Murray for short yardage when need.Spending a first round pick on a back up RB is only ever a good idea*if* you plan to let the starter go by the start of the following season.
Personally I'll take the C/G in that scenario every day of the week.
Just like others are saying dont grant him the OROY after one game, don't say he can't do short yardage after one game either. He has a low center of gravity and some powerful legs which he showed last year at LSU. Also, O-line blocking is very critical on short yardage also and I know at the goal line JJ Watt and other Defensive Players were busting through that O-line and that's not on the RB.He can’t do short yardage like Kamara. Not even close. AK can run with power.
He's OROY to-date. There's no question.
