Today was a step in the correct direction. CEH needs our support if he is to improve & redeem himself for his horrible failure in week 2 that cost us the game he needs us to believe in him. Scorn does not help matters.

He had a really solid game today and if you're trying to say otherwise, you're either hating for other reasons or way over analyzing things.

I'm gaging expectations, and by the eye test considering the OL is a force of nature this season concerning the run game.

You're just tripling down since you were shown to be incorrect regarding your Priest Holmes memories now. Holmes, who ran that sweep left behind Roaf for 6 plus every single damned time they wanted to. Holmes, of the 4.73 yd 40 yard dash. I've said it many times but I don't think casual fans understood just how incredible that line was. And this one is also excellent at run blocking, while they're growing into pass protection. |

Here's a question I've been pondering: at what point in a player's career does his draft rank stop mattering in terms of his production?
When do we stop giving Sneed the benefit of the doubt since he wasn't a first round pick? When did we stop judging Fisher on being 1/1 and start looking at him as just a solid LT? When do you recognize that Clyde is our RB and he should now just be judged against other RBs rather than his status as a 1st round pick? At this point, they're on your team. Production is production. Whether Clyde was a 1, a 3, or a 5, we're not able to go back and change time. If you feel like Clyde at 1 was a bad pick, your problem isn't with him - it's entirely with Veach and Reid. |

His best game of the season but still left a lot of yard on the field. The run he was stopped at the 1ft line was great but should have been a TD with the size of the hole that was there.
Hopefully he continues to build on these last two games. |

Clyde has really found his groove the last two weeks with his average being well over 6 YPC in that span.

I'd imagine with D's playing us so deep it will be hard to break off some really long runs. |

Guy was one of the better LTs in the league playing on a contract that paid him 60% of what the top of the market was getting and folks were still constantly looking to cut him to save cap space. Had the guy been taken at 25th overall he'd have been a guy the fanbase loved but instead he was always on the chopping block for some people. A guy's draft status becomes immaterial the moment his contract is signed. Past that any further analysis is of the organizational team that made the call to draft him and the opportunity cost of same.

A more productive, though perhaps less definitive approach, is to try to evaluate someone in relation to what the team's expectations of him are/were.
That's where I take umbrage to guys not giving CEH credit for his game today. Look - maybe you wanted him to be a game-breaker to take him in the 1st round. In which case your complaint is as to the front office. But Veach flat out said it when we drafted CEH - the front office was frustrated by runs that were blocked up for 4-6 yards that were going for 1 and getting them behind the sticks. The Chiefs wanted a guy who was going to secure the yardage in front of him and allow the rest of the team to do its job. Clyde did exactly what was expected of him today. The OL dominated and Clyde took advantage of that. If he does what the team expected of him, he did his job. If someone thinks those expectations were too modest for a 1st round pick, then you can grouse about the front office but not the player.
