And Perine had success on screens. When Samaje got here he wasn’t immediately thrown in to the role as third down back. They’d didn’t bring him in here because Joe was awful in pass pro. They originally wanted to limit Joe’s touches. They wanted him fresh through 17 games and when they got good the playoffs.

He’s going to be a casualty next year. There’s no way about it. And as you can see from our drafts we always have an eye on the next year.

The fact that it's a "no brainer" to go to Chase or Higgins is why KC doubled both of them.  When Boyd went down, we had no option that could uncover quickly before Chris Jones bord down on Burrow.  Perine couldn't uncover quickly and they couldn't put Mixon in because he is a liability in pass protection.  

The selections of Charlie Jones and Chase Brown should help with this issue.  Brown will have to prove he can pass protect.
