Chiefs confident Sammy Watkins, Patrick Mahomes are “starting to sync”
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...rting-to-sync/
Wide receiver Sammy Watkins hasn’t caught a pass through the team’s first two preseason games and he failed to come back for a Patrick Mahomes pass that could have been a touchdown. Coach Andy Reid noted that Watkins needs to do a better on plays like that, but he didn’t show much overall concern about how Watkins is fitting into the offense in his first year with the team. Reid said he loves Watkins’ “intensity on learning all the little, small things” and has seen that translate into good things at practice. Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy had a similar take and said that he’s seen signs that Watkins and Mahomes are striking up a strong relationship. “When it’s all said and done, Sammy is doing a heck of a job,” Bieniemy said, via ESPN.com. “He’s doing a great job. He’s accepted the challenge because we’re not just playing him at one position. He’s accepted the challenge of learning all three across the board. We want versatile football players. I know everybody wants to talk about what’s happening on the field on game day, but I will say this: Their communication, their rhythm is starting to sync.” Mahomes agreed with the coaches about Watkins making strides even if they haven’t shown up in games. That’s easier to sell in preseason than in the regular season, which leaves the Chiefs with a couple of weeks to get everyone in line. |

No. It's already bad. That money should've went to the secondary. Now we'll have to deal with the double whammy of atrocious talent in the backfield along with dumb**** Bob and his "play every CB 5+ yards back" bullshit.

Or we can observe a player’s history in the league and make an educated judgment instead of basing our opinion on hope and what might happen.

I would have rather spent the money on the secondary as well, but I'm not really seeing where it should have went player wise that was on the market. They weren't giving it ot a safety with Berry already on a monster deal. Corner maybe, but man.

The identity of the team has changed, and yet with all the promise of the potential on offense, it overshadows the fact that the defense is unproven and nothing to suggest that it has improved. I think the whole team will be going through growing pains. ![]() |

Heres the free agent corners that signed this past offseason. I guess you could have had 2 of them for what Watkins got, but it isn't exactly murders row there. |

Yeah I'd like to see the corner options again. Weren't many options. Would love to have a few of them, don't get me wrong. Wanting them and getting them to sign are different stories.
Also different is comparing Watkins value to our team vs. his value compared to a cornerback. Yes a defensive back would have probably been better for the overall team. That doesn't mean that Watkins doesn't help this team. |

The FA corner group sucked this year.
They clearly wanted Fuller, but it just wasn’t going to happen without significantly overpaying. |

I'm not convinced our secondary is going to be that bad.
