chiefs82 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I think the amazing part of hunt is, he's clutch. Yesterday: 69 yard run to end the game basically, in NE: TD run and then that 55 yard run to help ice that game; against Philly: that long TD run to help get the lead.

I was optimistic about the pick, but man I didn't expect anything like this. He's looking about as good as any of the RBs we've had the past two decades. Which is saying a LOT. Amazing that he's already at 400 yards. His usage really isn't crazy right now either, I'm sure Reid is trying to limit his touches to not wear down the rookie. In comparison his historical counterpart had 20 or 30 more yards but on like 15 more carries. Hes playing like he's a HOF running back right now. 6 hours ago, chiefs82 said: I think the amazing part of hunt is, he's clutch.

He's a big reason we're so good in the 4th quarter. Just puts the game away for us. I guess he's not as slow as people thought Jist looked it up and Hunt has 401 yards. That's more rushing yards than 26 teams in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hunt is on pace for a new yardage record and new total yardage record. Well ahead of Eric Dickerson's rookie records. Obviously, the pace is likely to drop (along with the 8.2 YPA), but it should give you some context. This is untrodden ground. BTW The Chiefs do have a 200 yard rushing game. The RB name is a trivia question. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Guy Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Interesting to see the discussion about him getting just 15 touches a game or so ... Keep him fresh .. he'll have another 60 yds to run ... More seriously: why use him more? O gets short field from turnovers. O gets long gains.Why even think about getting him more TOUCHES?

onejayhawk Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 One of the comps I saw was Olandis Gary. Gary was a one year wonder because of injuries. He also holds the Denver record for rookie carries. Funny about that. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happened six times, including the club record 259 by JC. Hunt's game is #16 on the Chiefs list. Of the 15 ahead, JC owns five, while Priest holmes and Larry Johnson three each. Who did 200 yds first. Hint: before LJ J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the whole list of Rookie game 1 with both 50 yards rushing and receiving: Rk YScm 1 Kareem Hunt 246 2 Billy Sims 217 3 Sid Blanks 184 4 Marcus Allen* 180 5 Curt Warner 165 6 Adrian Peterson 163 7 Terry Miller 157 8 Johnny Johnson 153 9 Charley Taylor* 150 10 Ricky Watters 150 11 Earl Cooper 148 12 Joe Cribbs 131 13 Rodney Culver 130 14 Reggie Bush 119 If you drop the 50/50 requirement, the list gets much longer. Anquan Boldin had 217 yards receiving to tie for 2nd. In any event, this is quite a list. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 He actually reminds me of a guy on that list @onejayhawk, Marcus Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Interesting comparison. Good receiver out of the backfield, not the fastest but got his share of long runs, intense competitor. Hunt does not have Allen's fluid grace, but the balance and awareness, yeah. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Yeah I don't see Hunt picking through a pile like Allen to get the tough yards or a goal line TD. Hunt is more smash-mouth in that regard. But they share a lot of traits for sure. Like finding the hole and hitting it at top speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 Was trying to remember another "smaller" type RB with great contact balance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Hunt isn't a smaller type. He also does not dance like Walter. Back then I referred to it as our LB corpse. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By NFL standards that's not very big. theres plenty of highlights where Payton just blasts through tacklers as well. I'm just enjoying posting these gifs. That contact balance trait is real similar to Sweetness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
