RedGold Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Nice. I’m not sure our OL does his style any favors, but he adds something to the RB group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefer Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Should fit the offense like a glove, better version of Clyde potentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking about the same Le'Veon Bell that the Chiefs just signed? His style and Clyde's could almost not be more different. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayanfootball Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I hope CEH stays the lead back. He was here first. He has worked hard while being here. He's getting his NFL legs while Bell is just riding on everyone's back. Let Bell put in some work behind CEH and show us he belongs on an NFL team again. Bell's latest body of work has been quite underwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also bigger and maybe even faster with better pass blocking skills Of course our OL can’t run block so it really doesn’t matter.

Just in different bodies. Both are going to fail and succeed under the same circumstances. Neither will fully succeed, as you said our OL can't run block and both rely more on vision than creating their own holes. I am excited about the Bell signing though, Andy will know how to get the best out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar center of gravity. Hard to bring down. All-Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde will be that, but he's not there yet. I would not say the OL cannot run block. It's more that Mahomes is the first, second and third priority. 22 minutes ago, mayanfootball said: CEH reminds me of MJ Drew who use to play with Jacksonville.

He was not much taller than Clyde and also a brick. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 OL does “alright” with running blocking on normal distance, really all of our OL are finesse blockers. Fisher might be the best drive blocker, Wylie is really the only one I’d say he has a mean steak(but that could just be that I notice it from him being out in the middle of nowhere from whiffing on a block) Main reason for our short yardage running game being so awful, And Bell and Clyde are not guys that will just power through you, which is what I think Chiefer was getting at. in the end I don’t think it will matter, Andy just likes to see if we can improve on things throughout the year.. if they don’t, I’m sure he’ll put the game in Mahomes hands when the games really matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Bell is now officially on the roster. Osemele goes to IR to make room. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 I always check the film study articles by Matt Lane. This week he focuses on the so-called Split Gun formation we used several times against the Bills, with Clyde and Kelce on either side of Mahomes. I am post it here because it is something we can run with Clyde and Bell. One of the things making it effective was Kelce as a potential receiver out of the backfield. Whether he stayed in to block, ran a block and released, ran a route or went in motion, Kelce drew a lot of defensive attention. Bell is not the blocker Kelce is, but has some size and a lot of experience, and he's nearly as good a receiving threat. A dimension Kelce did not bring is the potential as a ball carrier. We may not see it this week or next, partly because of the quality of the opposition, but this is something to have in the toolbox down the road.https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2020/10/22/21526657/film-review-chiefs-unveil-new-play-package-vs-bills J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always amazed at the offensive mind of Andy Reid. What kind of a football world must his dreams be made of......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
