KC is built on Mahomes throwing the ball, but he can throw to WR's, a TE (Kelce), a RB and they can run the ball. Green Bay is built on Rodgers throwing the ball, but he can throw to WR's, a TE (Tonyan), a RB and they can run the ball. Tampa Bay is built on Brady throwing the ball, but he can throw to WR's, TE's (Gronk/Brate), a RB and they can run the ball. Buffalo is built on Allen throwing the ball, and he can throw to WR's. 5 2 2 2

I'm fine passing on a guy like Dupree. Getting either Tomlinson or or L. Williams would be really helpful for the entire D. 2

I don't think we need to have a balanced attack like an Indy, Tennessee, etc. We just need the ability to kill you with the run game if you don't respect it. A guy like Fournette (football ability, not the person) would go a long way. We can make up these kinds of plays with passing concepts too. We seem to never put Josh behind center for a super quick 3 step drop. I don't get it. 1

They were just as successful passing the ball as they were running it. Thurman was the key to the no-huddle. When he was having a good game that made Kelly's life so much easier throwing it to Reed, Lofton etc etc. Allen will be much more dangerous with a strong running game to compliment him. Plus you need to be able to run the ball at certain points in the game. 3rd and 1 to convert a first down. Have a lead late in the 4th you want to run it and control the clock. Sure its a passing league and Allen throwing is definitely a focal point of the offense but running the ball will always be needed.

It was VERY evident that we had no other punches when KC took away our banged up WR group. Knox may be able to develop into that, but Singletary's inability to do anything before he was benched killed us early. Brady has been using Fournette in the pass game a ton, and with big success. We need to get Allen, at least, legitimate weaponry at RB.... and that doesn't mean we run the ball a ton with that back. 2
