Was't essentially the same unit bad at run blocking last year?
Each year's different. It's possible the Chiefs O-Line suddenly got light years better at run blocking. It's possible the Pats D suddenly got significantly worse at stopping the run.
That's why we need more data points. It never made much sense to me that least year's team was a bad run-blocking team but the eyes and the metrics (especially after Ehinger went down) sure supported it. This team has the size/strength/athleticism on its OL to be an outstanding run blocking unit but I have a hard time just taking that on faith right now.
