You have highlighted an aspect of this team that gives me hope, Mr. SAUTO.
After all the hours of All-22 review I've done this season, I can confidently say that a significant percentage of incompletions this year have been due to receivers slowing down on routes. Mahomes simply expects them to maintain their current direction, angle of attack, and speed. When they don't, we have to re-set.
That isn't always the case, of course. The majority of the time, the receivers actually continue to work the scramble drill. But when they don't, it's obvious. Tyreek is one of the guys who tends to slow up, for example. We've missed some critical plays in critical moments for that specific reason (the way I see it).
In all honesty, I believe that, if these guys will just keep running (consistently) as plays diverge into off-script deals, we are unstoppable ... as we were at the beginning of the season. I assume they're seeing that in their film study and will "tighten that up".
