Chiefs try to monitor rookie Kareem Hunt's heavy workload
Andy Reid
"The Raiders knew what we were doing. We had run those plays a couple times and had success with them with the same look "  Chiefs coach Andy Reid  said. "So we have a lot of trust in  him ."
So much trust they're willing to give  him  a hefty workload.
"I'm not telling you he's waking up after games wanting to go run a marathon. That's not what he's doing  " Reid  said. "That's part of his position and how you feel. I think he's doing a heck of a job. He was strong again the fourth quarter and we have a lot of trust in him."
 Reid  certainly sounds confident  his  young horse can hold up through 11 more regular-season games  not to mention the playoffs  leaning on running backs coach Eric Bieniemy to monitor  his  work.
"I don't think  he 's not fresh. I think  he  is where  he  is in the season  " Reid  said. " He 's strong and obviously we're aware of that. We look at it â  he  is a rookie  so Eric  I think  does a phenomenal job with that stuff  along with the trainers and Barry (Rubin) our strength coach. That's where we're at. We rotate enough that  he  gets a breather with rotation.  He 'll be all right."
