From the episode

Pat Mahomes and even doing that great run, they were doing it primarily on the strength of his right arm...but now they have the number one rusher in football.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Mahomes' role shifting from arm-dependent to balanced offense with Walker.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs were previously doing their great run primarily on the strength of his right arm and big plays/explosive factor, but the Kenneth Walker addition has shifted the offensive approach to include more balance and the ability to control the game through the running game rather than relying solely on Mahomes' arm.
