I'm interested in trading him out for Hunt.

I did in my league. Same scenario. Hunt can be a TD Machine.

For those saying Kareem lost a step I'd like to remind you you he ran in the 4.6's at the combine. Dude was never Jamal Charles to begin with. As long as he still has excellent vision, contact balance, ball security, and overall instinct that will be plenty.

I'd like to see him start Sunday night. You know they're going to discuss it Pregame. Just start him.

At the same time he's probably not in shape and needs to learn the Playbook.

Shady's gamelogs from his 2019 season. Through the first two months, Shady was the Chiefs' best RB, and it wasn't close at all.

He'd definitely lost a step in terms of top speed, but his vision and his agility were still there, and he made chicken salad out of chickenshit blocking more often than not, while Damien consistently averaged less than 2 yards per carry, until late in the season. For those that don't remember, check out the DET game; Shady got through holes that didn't really exist multiple times in that game.

Figured it would be useful to go back and look at the negatives and explosives (attached below)

I charted 18/26 of the Stuffs due to bad blocking or good defense, 7/26 Lack of Burst, and 1/26 where he missed a hole.

There were a lot of stacked boxes in those runs. Defenders not even pretending to roll back, just straight towards the line.

Hopefully defenses do that when Hunt is lined up next to Mahomes in shotgun...

Andy Reid told reporters that Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt will not be elevated from the practice squad for Sunday night’s game vs. the Falcons.

I highly doubt we get blanked in the first half of the AFCCG if Hunt was playing in that game. It would have never come down to Dee Ford.

On the other side of the coin, Bob Sutton probably doesn't get fired, we dint revamp the defense, and don't have 3 titles.

Suttons defense would not have compensated for the clown show offense we paraded out last season.

This had to be what you expected. C'mon homers.

I think we all need to trust Andy on this.

[TinyEvel]

I trust Reid to scheme around no Pacheco.

We are perhaps the best team in the league to rely on our QB.

I expect Reid/Nagy to scheme a lot of jet sweeps with WRs, short passes to the flat, use Perine or Steele for short yardage and they will either have room for it since the D is expecting pass, or if the D plays the run Mahomes' targets will feast.

I hope they switch it up throughout the game.

It'll be nice to see him either debut vs. Harbaugh's Chargers or maybe even the MNF game against New Orleans.

My God Arrowhead is going to explode if he makes plays that night.

[ThyKingdomCome15]

Hunt isn't playing Sunday Night. Depth chart will be Steele, Perine, Ingram.

Sorry but this is weird to me.

Him not playing?

I mean it is his first week of real practice. You don't want the guy getting hurt right off the bat.

I haven't been this excited since 1998 when we had Donnell Bennett, Bam Morris, and Rashaan Shehee suit up for games.

[Frazod]

Bummer. I was hoping to see him on the field in Atlanta. Oh well.
