If he performs poorly, Fuller can play the outside, at least for a bit. It's not like he hasn't before and you have to admit Breeland is an upgrade over most of the jake-legs we've had out there since Peters left. I trust Andy and Veach to make that call.
Except for a couple games last year, it wasn't the deep ball that killed us, it was stupid penalties, a porous run defense, and the short passes that turned into 15 yard gains because no one could tackle.
The bottom line is our season's success or failure rests squarely on the shoulders of Patrick Mahomes II because Chad, Chase, or Kyle aren't going to win any shootouts for us.

Reid said yesterday that Claiborne most likely will not play Saturday in Pitt.
