00:00 I wrote down some stats.
00:01 What is so frustrating to me is his ineffectiveness on the ground
00:07 and the chief's willingness to keep giving him the ball.
00:09 Now that I understand the, you know, box counts, rushing downs,
00:15 all of that plays into it.
00:16 A lot of the external factors playing to the rushing game.
00:18 But in game one,
00:20 Clyde Oberstleur had 25 carries, 138 yards and a score.
00:23 That's a good day.
00:24 Good day at the office.
00:25 Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good.
00:27 Since then, Clyde Oberstleur has gotten 56 carries
00:31 and has had 206 yards, not found the end zone.
00:33 One time he averages in those, what was it?
00:36 Four games, 14 rushes per game, 51 and a half yards per game.
00:42 So he's, so do you think Clyde Oberstleur has lost his effectiveness on the ground?
00:46 I think the chiefs overall have lost their effectiveness to run the ball.
00:51 I, in general, it can sometimes be Clyde Oberstleur.
00:56 It can also be interior run blocking
00:58 because we saw the chiefs actually did try to run more to the outside against Oakland.
01:04 We saw them do that weird option toss play four times.
01:08 I think they practiced that one this week, which I actually kind of liked.
01:12 I didn't like them running at the five yard line at the goal line.
01:16 But in general, I liked that play because it got
01:18 not only the defense thinking, but Edwards' layer in space.
01:23 But for the most part, it's been these inside zone runs at,
01:26 obviously, their three worst offensive linemen, especially when Asimile's injured.
01:32 I'm just going like, okay, so Edwards' layer might be underperforming right now.
01:37 And you can see on some plays he might be,
01:39 but you're also running at players that are obviously struggling to run block right now.
01:45 So I don't really get what's the play here.
01:47 What are we doing?
