He is a really great dude and smart as hell.

But he is an insane person, competitively. He's not the kind of person that you know. He is not only the best player at this sport, he is the kind of guy who will grit out a practice if it means earning a "FP" on the injury report and forcing the other team to raise their eyebrows. He doesn't give a shit. He wants to win as much as you love your kids.

I just say all of this so that we have our expectations where they need to be. It's conceivable he's going to walk as normal as possible and just grit it out to shut up everyone. He doesn't want to be questioned.

That said, all that said: seeing him walk like that is miles better than having him walk like he did at the Jags game.

It's a high ankle sprain, though. A high ankle sprain. Humans were not meant to be upper caliber athletes on a high ankle sprain.

Probably the best summary of what is really going on here.

So a buddy of mine at work happens to be a bengals fan. He is from Cincinnati so he grew up rooting for the team. He told me yesterday that he feels very nervous about this game because he thinks Mahomes is scarier when he plays within the pocket. When he gets out of the pocket is where they feel they can contain him. Said Chiefs are a whole different animal compared to Buffalo.

I’ve always felt that walking on a sprain or just slowly moving my ankle sometimes hurt worse than actually playing a sport.

Is there anything to that? Or just me?

Definitely not an expert on the subject.

I think it's just you...

I've had a few pretty good ankle sprains and straightforward movements like walking had little/no impact on it. Then if I tried to cut/turn on it, that was extremely uncomfortable. And if I mis-stepped and rolled it a bit it was like lightning in my leg.

That's really my biggest issue. In a football game there WILL be times that someone hits that ankle or he toe-picks it or just gets knocked over and puts it out there to brace on instinct.

And man, that shit is going to HURT. And it's gonna take a bit for that pain to work itself down to a dull roar.

I have no question that it will be sound enough to play on and even push off of. But when the bullets start to fly it will be inevitable that shit happens to it that hurt like a MFer. And as tough as he is, he ain't immune to it.

Eventually.
He is not human.

Let's GO!

There are actually upsides to the injury limited Mahomes a bit.

When the Bengals drop 8 and kept a spy, it has completely negated Mahomes' roll out game. It's been three games and Mahomes got better this year with it, but he still struggled to adjust. Last year he was completely flabbergasted.

Now that Mahomes won't be rolling out as much, and isn't as much of a scramble threat, it's possible the Bengals play a more conventional style.

I wish our offense had more traditional PA

This,

But I doubt they will the early game shit is when we need to take deep shots if possible. Because they are going to think we are going to come out conservatively

Brother, McKinnon was steamrolling the Bengals in the AFCCG against a light box.

Their DTs are better now than they were then, but our primary RB is also much better. Pacheco has a shot at 7 yards/carry unless the Bengals pack the box on an injured Mahomes.

Edit: This is starting to get off topic however.
