Did you see Pacheco's run to clinch the KC-Denver game?

I have noticed they usually bring in McKinnon in passing situations and very rarely throw to Pacheco.

I would guess a wheel route to Pacheco at a key point in a playoff game has a real good chance of being successful.

We will watch KC in the playoffs and when it happens we’ll all say, “@krup you magnificent bastard.👍”

I think they value McKinnon's pass protection more at this point in Pacheco's rookie season.
 
He seems so much better in the pro game. Was he underutilzed or poorly coached at RU? Maybe he had such a poor O Line that he couldn’t do much?

Kansas City has a lot more offensive weapons and so teams can't key on him the way they did here. Maybe he was poorly coached, but it seems to me the ability to break tackles like that is born, not made.

KC has more offensive weapons for sure, but his YAC statistic also does not begin 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

The offense was poorly coached and conceived when he was here. A familiar refrain.

The talent differential in the NFL is tiny. A good team to a bad team could be the result of a couple star players in key positions and chemistry and coaching Xs and Os. But the talent on OL vs DL, for example, shouldn't be that great compared to what Rutgers faces in many games. Hopefully.. eventually.. we will reach middle-of-the-pack Big Ten talent and guys like Pacheco will shine more brightly while here.

The key question here (and I don't know the answer is this): is our offense so limited because the coaches aren't making the right design decisions, or is our offense so limited because we don't have the personnel to do anything but we're doing? Either way, the coaches are at fault -- either for not using the weapons we have, or for not getting and developing better weapons. But they're different shortcomings and they have different solutions. My guess is that the problem is some of each.

We do not have consistent personnel to be effective.
 
And how about lineman #62! Was a great play. Looks like Pacheco will literally run through brick walls for his team, they have to be conservative playing him to keep him healthy.

I thought he played well, with the offensive line RU had. Anyway, Rutgers now has a 'Ron Dane' for a running back in Sam Brown, it will be fun watching him progress.

He'll be a Ron Dayne if they put together an OL as good as the ones he had at Wisconsin.
