Fortunately with our offense that will likely never be amplified bc with our new weapons we are throwing the ball probably 75-80% of the time. A given amount of runs for the lead back is around 20-22 a game, so Kingsley would probably only have about 5-7 snaps a game where the RB runs to his side for a running play.
His pass blocking was a completely different story and that’s why we drafted him

I'm just happy we appear to have moved away from the OBJ stuff. And Morris is somewhat similar. Big guys with heavy feet who use functional strength and length to just be in the way.
Kingsley suggests a shift back towards an Eric Fisher sort; more athletic, more agile, more adept at getting into position for a deep set on a longer developing play.
