Let’s be clear: Kareem Hunt was great here, absolutely.
But for all the things he did, he wasn’t a guy that was a threat to bust through the line and scamper 60 yards for a score every time he touched the ball. What he was good at was moving the chains. He was a punisher. Coincidentally, we need to start punishing teams that wanna play cover 2 soft.
He’s also not going to help Andy Reid commit to the run. People here forget that Hunt had as many games with less than 10 rushes as he did games with 25 or more.
Now that’s all talking about rushing. Where Hunt really shined, and what we’ve really lacked since Damien Williams, is a threat out of the backfield in the passing game. Kareem Hunt absolutely was a threat to break off long receptions.
