One of the more unique things about the Kansas City Chiefs roster this year is the inclusion of five running backs: Kareem Hunt Womens Anthony Hitchens Jersey , Spencer Ware, Damien Williams, Darrel Williams and fullback Anthony Sherman.This roster construction would make more sense if Spencer Ware or Damien Williams were coming back from injuries, or we had reason to expect Kareem Hunt’s production to fall off.But as we approach the first game of the year, none of this is true.The last running back to solidify their spot on the roster was Darrel Williams, who was an undrafted rookie out of LSU.It was surprising to some that Williams made the roster at all, especially since he has to beat out notable third down backs like Charcandrick West and Kerywnn Williams.At the end of the day, the film has to be good to justify this move, so we went down to the Laboratory and worked through his film from the entire preseason to see just what the Chiefs have in the fifth running back on the roster. Darrel Williams’ tape (more than) speaks for itself. VisionVision is arguably the most important trait for a running back, and from the rather basic runs we saw from Williams during the preseason, he is above the threshold you would expect for a good running back.It’s too early to tell if he’s seeing the entire box — or just systematically working through his reads — but he is hitting the correct aiming points for his runs.This inside zone play is complemented with a trap block coming across to the play side of the formation. While this run is intended to be directly up the A-gap, the hole appears rather quickly with an unblocked defensive tackle squeezing down the vacated gap as he’s about to get trap blocked. Williams identifies this quickly, squares his hips to the back-side A-gap, and gets through the hole quickly.He then does a good job playing off the block at the second level, working straight towards the back hip of the offensive lineman — not cutting off from him until the last second.In the future, we would like to see Williams read the leverage of the second level blocks a little more cleanly — but in this case, the hole between the offensive tackle and tight end created at the second level doesn’t open up until he’s already chosen his path.Explosion and PowerWilliams hasn’t tested as a superior athlete, but he plays fast— with quick decisions and a great first couple of steps when he puts his foot in the ground and gets upfield. Here, his aiming point starts off-tackle, but the edge player holds contain, forcing Williams to look back to an interior or back-side gap. But his hand is forced as the nose tackle gets upfield and starts to press the mesh point.Williams takes the ball and immediately plants his foot to bend the run up through the play side A-gap. It’s the correct decision based on the progressions of the run, but what makes it work on this play is that he doesn’t soft cut into the line of scrimmage, waiting for the offensive line to produce more yards. Instead, he accelerates forward the moment he gets the ball to take the most of what’s there.This combination of quick decision making — and the good initial burst through line — took this play from a marginal gain to a good one.And there’s also the little fact that he dragged multiple players along with him.Williams is hit at the Chiefs 48-yard line by two defenders.He gets low and churns his legs — which causes the ankle dive tackler to end up on the ground. At the 50, he is met head up by a third defender who digs him out of his leverage while a fourth defender rides his back. This doesn’t stop him from leaning forward over his knees and falling forward to the opponent’s 47-yard line.It’s a textbook power finish to a good run. Hands and Open FieldThere are many plays that show Williams naturally catching the ball with both hands away from his body — without messing up his gait. Williams was rarely used as a pass catcher in college, but when given opportunities at the pro level, he is able to properly use his hands, look the ball in and collect it outside his body.This particular play is a good one because he has to adjust to the ball — which was thrown behind him — and then reset his feet to get upfield.The way he drags his back foot off the turn allows him to stop his momentum, get square to the end zone, and begin to advance the ball.It not only saves him time, but also valuable real estate on the field that he is then able to use.Once he has the ball, it’s time for the big back to put on a little show in space, which certainly catches some defenders off guard. The initial foot drag allows him to destroy the angle the first defender was taking and easily shake him. Then with the extra space he created http://www.thechiefsfootballauthentic.c … -authentic , Williams puts on another lateral cut to get outside again.To keep himself clean, he hits two defenders with a stiff arm without even having to load it back up. You might expect this pure strength when looking at Williams’ stature, but his ability to manipulate the open field angles — and have enough lateral agility to take advantage of those angles — is a massive boost to his game. Route RunningDuring the preseason games, the Chiefs kept it pretty basic.Running backs generally only ran flares, flats, and some simple underneath option routes, so it’s hard to make a pure judgment on where a player is as a route runner.Williams, however, showed us little surprise during training camp with his ability to run some vertical routes — and look comfortable doing so.This is a running back seam route. The hard cut taken at the line of scrimmage is just to freeze the linebacker into thinking a speed out is coming — which is a common route for a running back. After freezing the linebacker, Williams is able to fluidly bend outside around him, using a chop to get free of the linebacker’s hands.While tracking the ball over his shoulder, Williams never shortens his stride, and keeps working his inside hand to stack the defender — as well as to keep the linebacker from pushing him off his spot. Then he tracks the ball over his shoulder — right into his hands. This, of course, is a one-on-one practice rep.In theory, the offensive player will win.But the comfort level and nuance on the route are nice things to see from a rookie running back in this offense. Pass ProtectionIf you can’t protect the QB, you aren’t likely to see the field very often.Up until the final preseason game, Williams had few opportunities to show what he could do in pass protection — but against Green Bay, he did well. On this play, in particular, it was great to see the mental processing of the young back.At the snap, Williams squares up near the interior of the offensive line — where the pressure is showing — but quickly sees the linebacker is not blitzing. Instead of staying home and helping the offensive line, he scans the front from inside to outside on the play side (the opposite side of his alignment) looking for a player without a blocker. The free rusher ends up being the edge rusher on the play side, so Williams has to quickly slide across the formation; he not only had to work laterally but also work to depth as he was near the line of the pocket.A mistake young runners often make in pass protection is sitting down too close to the quarterback — not accounting for the big athletes who will have momentum moving them.Here, Williams shows a good initial set point, and when he has to work across the pocket, he is able to move the rusher away from the quarterback, leaving enough space for him to step into a throw. BalanceOverall, this is a great play in which Williams shows good power and pad level to pick up the first down well after the first contact.But we can’t call it a special play for one simple reason: balance. The defender makes pretty good contact and does so in the right spot to throw the runner off — so the criticism is a bit nitpicky — but there were a few plays this preseason in which a defender was able to get their shoulder into Williams’ thigh or hip and chop him down as he stumbled forward.This is something that made Kareem Hunt absolutely special last year.He would absorb the blow — sometimes stumbling forward — but remain on his feet to address the next defender with his feet back under him. Williams has good balance — it’s not a weakness by any stretch — but there have been some plays in the open field where aggressive defenders have been able to get into his body and knock him off his base. and Williams hasn’t always been able to regain it while falling forward. The bottom lineDarrel Williams not only happened to come around when the Chiefs wanted more running backs on their depth chart, but also played his way onto it. He’s likely the fourth running back on the chart — and will likely remain there for much of the year — but it would be pretty easy to make the case that he showcased the best (or second-best) set of skills and traits among the running backs this preseason. He’s polished as a runner and a receiver, and — from what little we’ve seen — he’s more than serviceable in pass protection.Williams a perfect young running back to sit behind the other guys, and learn from the reps that come his way. He will consistently get what is there in the run game — whether it’s obvious or requires a little more creativity — but may lack some of the top-end playmaking ability some of the other players in the room can bring to the table.If Williams can demonstrate second-level vision and better balance, he could easily become a quality starter. He’s got a good group of running backs from whom he can learn.If he can pick up some of Hunt’s ability to absorb contact while staying on his feet Womens Reggie Ragland Jersey , some of Ware’s slashing ability at the second level — and some of Damien Williams’ route running craftiness — he could be a steal going forward. Williams isn’t likely to get a lot of playing time in 2018 because the position group is so loaded.But if there is an injury to Damien Williams or Spencer Ware — or someone ends up underperforming — the Chiefs won’t miss much of a beat if they have to ask Williams to step in. With Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes currently leading greatest-of-all-time, All-Galaxy quarterback Tom Brady in almost all NFL passing statistics — and with the Chiefs at 5-0 and the New England Patriots at 3-2 — the national media is all over this game.They’d like you to believe that this game will determine if Mahomes is taking “the torch” from Brady’s hands.But it won’t.Just as the win against the Denver Broncos gave the Chiefs a firm grip on the steering wheel of the AFC West, this game is about whether the Chiefs can get control of the wheel for the entire conference.As for that torch thingy... it will just have to wait its turn.Mahomes already has his hand on it, but actually wrestling it away from Brady is going to take more than a regular-season win against the Patriots — even in Foxboro.And it’s going to take more than a Chiefs loss to break Mahomes’ grip, too. So let’s all settle down, and keep an eye on five things to watch during the game:1. The chess gamePhoto by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images for HBOWatching Andy Reid and Bill Belichick coach these games is like watching two old guys who have sat across from each other at the same chess board in the park every afternoon for the last 20 years.Each intimately know the other guy’s strategies and how to defend against them; more often than not, they fight a battle of attrition that results in a narrow win for one of them.But once or twice a week, one of them manages to mask an unexpected parry with what seems like a dumb pawn-grab — or manages to execute a successful flanking attack with his knights or bishops — leading to a sudden collapse by his opponent.The 2015 playoff game between these two teams represented the norm between these two coaches: a narrow win for the Patriots determined by small battles won and lost.But the two other games between these teams since Reid arrived in Kansas City were the other kind — where Reid completely flummoxed his longtime adversary with unexpected moves that left him flat-footed.This game should be more like the norm.Belichick has already admitted that the Chiefs may have too many weapons for his usual go-to strategy — that is, to simply take away the other team’s best weapon — to work.And Reid may have exhausted his inventory of plays and approaches the Patriots won’t expect.All that may be left for each coach is to declare outright war — to have their defenses pin back their ears and go after the other king with everything they have... to fight for every square on the board.The trouble is that Belichick’s aging, traditional king can only move one space at a time when it is under attack.Reid’s is the late-model king that can move more like a queen when under attack — and even mount a counterattack of its own.2. The depth gameComing out of the Jacksonville Jaguars game with multiple injuries to their starters, the Chiefs are about to find out what kind of depth they have at crucial positions; it’s hard to imagine a tougher test.Some Chiefs fans believe they already know the answer to this question; I’ve seen Twitter posts about the “bums” the Chiefs have added to the roster to play against New England.But that’s missing the point.Those guys aren’t meant to play against New England — although some of them may see the field.Those guys are meant to back up the guys who will play against New England.Some of these backups who will be thrust into starting roles have seen significant playing time on special teams.Somebody has to take those snaps.And if they get hurt — or simply need a couple of snaps off — someone has to be there to step in.This is pretty simple math, my Chiefs brothers and sisters.When the backup becomes the starter, you have to have another backup.Still... players like Jordan Lucas, Breeland Speaks and Jordan Devey will have their work cut out for them on Sunday night.Lucas was a very pleasant surprise against Jacksonville, Speaks was better than many would have expected, but Devey didn’t really have enough snaps to give us a clear picture.Should he struggle, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Andrew Wylie go in for him.3. The interior gamePhoto by Maddie Meyer/Getty ImagesAs The Nerd Squad’s Craig Stout noted, history shows us that Chiefs edge rushers have had little success in getting pressure on Brady.Brady simply gets the ball away too quickly for edge rushers to get to him.If Brady is going to see pressure, it’s going to have to come from the interior of the Chiefs defensive front.And we all know that getting pressure on Brady is one of the keys to beating Brady.Yes... Allen Bailey, Xavier Williams and Chris Jones, we’re looking at you.Just a few weeks ago, few of us might have thought this was even possible.But in recent weeks — especially against the Jaguars — all three seemed to have stepped up their games.That needs to continue on Sunday for the Chiefs to have a chance of stopping the Patriots offense.If the Chiefs defensive interior can play with the intensity and swagger they displayed against the Jaguars and Broncos, that will go a long way to getting the Chiefs to 6-0 Sunday night.4. The running gamePhoto by Maddie Meyer/Getty ImagesThe Interwebs are crawling with pundits giving the Patriots advice on now to beat the Chiefs.This is a real through-the-looking-glass moment for Chiefs fans; it’s been a long time since national pundits regularly concerned themselves with helping Chiefs opponents figure out how to beat the Kansas City juggernaut.But I digress.These pundits are suggesting the Patriots try and keep the Chiefs off the field as much as possible by establishing its running game against the Chiefs.If the pundits were advising the Chiefs, the advice might be the same; the Patriots offense was slow to start this season but has scored 38 points in the last two games.Neither team has so far demonstrated a strong rushing attack — but neither team is particularly good at stopping the run, either.So it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect both teams to try and slow down the offensive tempo of this game by emphasizing the ground game on offense, and try to depend on late drives to win.In fact, the teams combined for more than 300 rushing yards in last year’s game — with the Chiefs taking a much bigger piece of the pie — and still scored almost 70 points between them.5. The record gamePhoto by Maddie Meyer/Getty ImagesYou may recall that last season, much was made of the Patriots’ home record when the Chiefs came to town to open the season.It didn’t faze the Chiefs at all, shocking the Patriots with a 42-27 defeat.But now that last season’s Chiefs victory is in the books, there’s a record on the line.No team has defeated Belichick’s Patriots at home in successive seasons since 2002, when the New York Jets beat the Patriots 10-3 in September of 2001 and 30-17 in December of 2002.But even if the Chiefs can break this streak, Andy Reid won’t spend much time thinking about it.He’ll be on to Cincinnati.
