Between the 20's the Chiefs were elite, but in the redzone a great running game is necessary because of the shortened field. The passing game is at a disadvantage inside the redzone becauseof space limit makes it easier for the opposition to cut off routes.
You never want to make it more difficult for the Franchise QB to succeed, and last season's redzone offense was average in comparison what they had with Kareem it's an asset that shouldn't be taken for granted.
Though my reasoning for IOL and a feature RB is to protect the PMII investment. Anything to keep him relatively healthy through the season and not always depending on him to be Superman because doesn't have said option at his disposal. Kareem was a big part of the MNF comeback against the Broncos.
