00:00Joe, there is no doubt that st. Juan barclay is the star the best running back in the national football league

00:06Having a historic and record-setting season which begs the question

00:10How can kansas city keep up and what will the game plan be offensively for kc?

00:16In terms of trying to establish that run it has not been a dominant part of their attack this season

00:22And kind of two changing guys anchoring that backfield now for kc kareem hunt

00:29The lead back he has been kc's leading rusher in each of their first two playoff victories 17 carries by the way

00:36For 64 yards and a score in the afc championship game against buffalo, but in superbowl 57

00:43It seemed like a very promising future for the rookie adirondackers the seventh round pick isaiah pacheco 15 carries

00:5276 yards scoring atd against philadelphia, but you can see the numbers there

00:59Whether it's hunt joe or pacheco. How important is it for the chiefs to establish some sort of a run game?

01:06against this stellar birds defense

01:09Yeah, well, they're gonna have to do it either by and and unfortunately for pacheco

01:14He's he's not even close to 100. I think he's a shell of what he normally should be

01:19in fact, he's really the second choice out of the backfield to

01:23Uh kareem hunt, but I I think they have to pick their spots

01:28uh, because I do think the reason that patrick mahomes is

01:32Uh attempts number is so high ben is because I do think the very short quick passing game

01:39is also going to be

01:41Uh, they're running game in a lot of aspects here, but I think when they're in philadelphia territory

01:48I believe they are going to have to be able to run the ball

01:51They're going to need kareem hunt and pacheco and that combination

01:54To be effective inside the philadelphia 40 where they got to move the chains get a little bit closer

02:01And open some things up for them there

02:04It's not going to be the end-all be-all like it may be with philadelphia as far as the running game goes

02:09But they are going to need to pick their spots and they're going to need to be effective

02:14Moving the chains inside of philadelphia territory if they do that, they might only have 50 yards

02:20But that's all that really matters at that point
