If the guy has a sports hernia, it’s far more important for that to completely heal than to get practice running jet sweeps in a live game.

Red Zone failures say otherwise.

That's partially Reid being too cute instead of running the ball in such situations

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">No Mecole Hardman on the practice field Thursday, that’s a big surprise.

Mecole is the running game in the red zone.

We have the top passing offense in the NFL and a QB that will almost assuredly break league offensive records the next 2 weeks. On top of that, we have a Lamborghini WR that’s just getting healthy, a possible steal of a WR that should be fully healthy this offseason, a developing WR that sone thought could go in the first round and MVS is returning.

And someone wants to spend elite resources to add a WR to that group over a LT or DE with similar resources?

I mean, I want to draft this guy

We don’t have a number 1 receiver and Hardman and juju are both free agents. I would definitely look at wide receivers high in the draft.

Paying Tyreek. Sure

Pay a high end 2 like that? No chance

I'm getting Eric Berry vibes

Maybe he is hitting the Golden Coral? Tryin to get those Gains!

I would like to see him out there for this game, we probably dont NEED him but if it makes life easier for Patrick and the Offense, Im all for it.

We need him for the playoffs.

Ever since we started giving Pacheco the ball more, our red zone percentage went up even without Mecole.

Then our coaches have shit for brains.

The reality is that Andy gets far too bored with conventional line up and cram the ball down their throat while Trey Smith takes someone's soul to actually call this. Andy is the best run defender on the opposing defense.

No, we need to burn a ****ing timeout, call some double reverse fake fleaflicker reeruned shit that does nothing but waste a down and possibly loses yards.

We are TREMENDOUSLY SHIT at 3rd and 1. Not just redzone, bit anywhere on the field. Andy and Co simply cannot fathom how to move the football one yard, while being the best in football at 3rd and forever.

Mecole Hardman isn't some savior riding in like a knight in shining armor to save the offense.

The guy has had nearly a half decade for the light to come on, and it's flickering at best.

Well tell that to the people who want to give huge contracts to both lines. Do you realize how expensive that is? They want an all world OL. And 3 studs on the DL. And a top 5 defense. With an explosive offense you need those things less and less, and I think people are way too complacent with how we've looked the second half of the season. We've been just efficient enough on offense. I like where we are heading but without a shadow of a doubt our WRs have struggled the second half of the season.

Me? I don't want to design this offense around Alex Smith. Where more and more and more of our offense centers around our non-kelce TEs and Rbs in the screen game. That is taking away mahomes, not supporting him

And people seem strangely reactive to paying one WR big money... But sure let's pay juju WR1 money to not be a WR1. And mvs $10m to disappear 90% of the time. And extend hardman. And despite what everyone is selling we don't have to pay obscene money to get that WR1.
