I am optimistic. I feel like we have a few things going here….
Kareem is gassed
While Kareem is good for the shorter yardage id rather have Pacheco get bigger chunk red zone gains. I imagine Pacheco gets a very normal workload after a long week going into a key division game. A rested kareem on the short stuff is inevitable.
Mahomes needs to use the next few weeks to get comfortable with DHop contested catches and he’s getting there. I feel like this year he is trying to be so careful with the ball that he’s sailing it over DHop and kelce way out of reach. He needs o be more comfortable with tight windows in the red zone.
We will see way more creativity closer to the end of the season. I imagine the shovel pitch will be retired and used to set up something different.
Humphries will help, because… duh
