The cutback lane is open so often and the personnel is so similar that it makes me wonder if maybe Ware just wasn't seeing some of those runs last year.

Perhaps I put too much blame on the line and not enough on Ware's vision.

I love that Andy is limiting his carries. And there's a reason why he's doing it. Look at who we're coming up against.

Texans, Steelers and Raiders in an 11 day span. That's by far our biggest obstacle this season and we are going to need this kid the most through that stretch.

That's a good question. My guess it probably was there. Ware is pretty slow compared to West so that may have been a factor.

Well, KC's interior OL was playing much worse last season.

That may factor in. That and the fact that Hunt is better.

Yeah, I hope they find a way to limit him against Washington if possible... I mean, win the game, but hopefully we can win with a more balanced, perhaps pass heavy offense on MNF.

I disagree. I'd never limit him. Obviously don't go too crazy with his carries but do what works. If running is working then do it. If passing is working then do that... Balance it out as much as possible but doing what is working is always the smart thing to do.

Injuries can happen on any play. Stupid to play scared. Hunt is well built. He isn't Charles. Run him a lot. He's a great weapon you want the ball in his hands...

Hunt should have 20-25 touches a game

I'm not saying limit him normally--but 3 games in an 11 day span against HOU, PIT, and OAK is going to be really tough physically. If we can get through Monday night without more than 15 touches and a win, that'd be great...

Agreed.

He needs to get the ball as much as he can. He's a great player who is built well. He isn't fragile like Charles or Hill. He can take hits...

I see what you are saying but Hunt is so young and well built I think he can get 20-25 touches a game and be fine.

And not to mention, college games usually go 11-13 games, depending on the schedule and if the team makes it to a bowl game.

The NFL is 16 games, plus possible playoff games. So there is more risk of wear and tear due to the additional 3-5 more games.

If Hunt gets hurt we’re lwft with West. My god

And Hunt. :D

Hunt shouldn't be getting the ball that much unless we really need it.

PFF has Hunts elusive rating at 158.0. The second best is Jordan Howard at 68.1.

I just saw a clip from Andy being interviewed in the locker room after the game. He was unhappy with Kareem for taking it to the house. He said that if he had just gotten the first down and went down the game is over. I guess he's right, but I think that a 2 TD lead at that point was pretty good too.
