Interior O-Line and Andy's style of offense are more to blame there. With Patrick Mahomes, I doubt Andy will ever feature an elite running offense again. Andy needs an RB who can catch passes, chip DE's out of the backfield, and be a viable option when Tyreek and Kelce are getting smothered. Also an RB and a running game that would be respected enough for their effective 15 carries a game that teams have to respect the play action.
Andy incorporated the run perfectly for his style of play in the Super Bowl. He caught the 49ers napping on multiple occasions and gashed them when they cheated on run D late in the game. If he sticks to the run like that (even if the running back is only getting around 15 carries a game) that will always propel Mahomes and the passing game to another level. When Kareem caught fire in 2018, the offense was basically unstoppable. Andy found his footing on the ground again late in the year, and Damien was a big part of that.
