Adjusted line yards is a somewhat arbitrary stat derived from rushing yards. Why are losses worth 120% and not 150% or some other number? Is there a basis for that? It has value for sure, but I think it's not really showing you quite how bad the Chiefs are at run blocking this year. It's not like there's someone looking at each play and estimating how many yards on each run play were created by the line vs the RB...if the OL misses a block and CEH spins out of hit and gets a 4 yard gain, those yards are counted 100% in adjusted line yards, even though the RB really created about 6-8 yards on the play and the line created negative 2-4 yards. If you have an RB that's really good at avoiding the first defender behind the LoS then he's going to inflate adjusted line yards...and to my amateur eye, CEH looks really good at that.
They're dead last in the league in power success rate...when they're in clear running situation they can't run the ball. Ultimately these stats are all going to be confounded with other factors though, whereas run block win rate is actually directly analyzing line play rather than manipulating box score stats. And that stat says the Chiefs are among the worst in the league.
