Was looking thru some numbers for Hunt and something popped out at me that I think needs a closer examination.

Hunts first game the Chiefs only rushed him 14 times against the Chargers for 69 yards as kind of a warm up.

The next 4 games Hunt was rushed 27, 22, 21 and 27 times. Then suddenly the last three games he has only gotten 14, 14 and 16 attempts. Why the sudden drop in carries?

Thoughts?

Load managing. Andy knows how important it’s going to be to have Hunt and Pacheco both ready to go in Jan/feb.

Hunt has 10 targets in the Denver game, so that’s somewhat misleading.

But he’s averaging 4.3 ypc the last 2 games. Definitely evidence he’s more effective with fewer carries.

Kelce
D-Hop
Worthy
Kareem
Pacheco

One of those two dudes on the bottom is gonna get lost in the wash and get some insane looks/opportunities. They're both good enough I expect them to exploit those for huge chunk plays.

line both up in the back field. Kareem can chip and help out the LT on his way out into the flat or on a wheel route.

No matter what happens with how Pacheco and Hunt split the load, Hunt absolutely must be our short yardage back. The guy almost never gets tackled for a loss, and just seems to squeak out that 1 extra yard needed for the first down.

1 stop left on the Kareem Hunt redemption tour.

“The next morning [after Pop’s injury], his agent, Dan Saffron, suggested Hunt text the Chiefs to let them know he was available.

Hunt’s text messages to Reid and Mahomes were simple and to the point: I’ve been grinding, man. I’m hungry. I want to come help y’all.

Two hours later, Reid, after talking to Veach and Mahomes, told Hunt to pack his bags for a tryout workout. Hunt accomplished two objectives the next day: He showed he was healthy and athletic and he demonstrated the appropriate accountability for his mistakes when he met with Reid and Veach.

“The kid has grown and learned and he’s so grateful to be here and we’re so grateful to have him,” Veach said of Hunt. “It’s really a blessing for this to come full circle. To see the way he’s grown and developed as a person, both on and off the field, is great. I’m so happy for him, and he’s been so, so critical to our success.

“He’s a phenomenal player and I’m just blessed that it worked out.”
