I'd like to see an equal distribution of the running game between Morris and Jones moving forward; and I like what I saw out of Thompson as well. I don't mind having a RB by committee, I think it is a good thing having three good RBs.

This is why I keep saying we need to run. When you abandon the run, you also abandon play action and bootlegs. You dont just lose the running game, you lose 30% or more of your passing game as well since no one is going to go for playaction if we go away from the run. KC isnt going to win you games being Tom Brady and passing 50 times every week, especially with a limited offensive playbook. He needs the play action and some occasional bootlegs to keep defenses honest in the passing game.
