Isiah Pacheco: Dark Horse as Super Bowl LVIII MVP Contender
Transcript
00:00 at a 34 to 1 number. Why not put a couple of bucks down on
00:07 Isaiah Pacheco to win Super Bowl 58 for Super Bowl 58 MVP
00:13 for Kansas City. 67 and a half is his rushing yards prop. 16
00:18 and a half attempts to carry his number for Super Bowl 58
00:22 minus 140 for Pacheco to find something he has done. Every
00:28 single game this postseason for Kansas City. Bluett, how do you
00:32 describe Pacheco's emerging role in this Chiefs
00:36 offense? I think what we've seen from the Chiefs is a very
00:41 heavy concentration of what their offense is. Yes, Marquez
00:45 Valdez Scantling had a couple of big plays, but they really
00:48 have whittled it down to three options. The Chiefs historically,
00:52 particularly when Eric Biennium was there. I'm not saying that
00:55 he was pulling the strings on the offense. It's clearly
00:58 Andy Reed, but they did a really good job of spreading
01:02 out the number of targets, right? Yes, it was Kelsey and
01:06 Tyreek Hill, but they would mix in some touches to the backs
01:10 and the tertiary receivers. So we still see the Justin Watson
01:13 and MVS and those types of touches happen, but we've seen
01:18 this offense really concentrate on three guys and that's Kelsey
01:21 Pacheco and Rasheed Rice with obvious exceptions. So his
01:28 role in the offense, his ability to help them run out
01:30 the clock. Everybody talks about his running style, which
01:34 is so fun to see. It's even more fun to see that he was a
01:37 late round draft pick from obviously we got Big Ten Ben on
01:40 here. So from a Big Ten school, I think it's just very cool the
01:43 way that he's emerged and how he's become such a crucial part
01:46 of the offense. I've always been sort of waiting for him to
01:49 be an even bigger part of the passing offense, but it doesn't
01:53 really happen that much. Four targets last week though, only
01:56 for 14 yards. I think they look for some chunk plays with him
02:00 and if it doesn't work, they back to the drawing board. But
02:03 again, 28 touches last week, 16 before that, 25 before that. So
02:09 if this is the time of year where these teams are going to
02:12 lean on their most valuable assets.
