Meh. Even if that's the case in some situations, there's snaps in those clips in the OP where he's just running a route, whether it's a slant, a skinny post, whatever, and after the catch there's not much of a mid-gear burst. TBH, I don't know how that's possible when you run a 4.4; there should be a pop to the next gear, so where is it?

On the topic of Skyy, it's really too early to be saying much and I'm holding my tongue till we see how year 2 pans out... but man as it stands there's no question it stings a little watching Pickens **** shit up in Pittsburgh while Moore fumbles 404944 punts and is relatively non existent in the offense.

We have 2 starting caliber WR's under contract for next year and a second round pick that seems shell shocked/PTSD. I have a hard time believing that this coaching staff goes into next year with only 1 proven WR (MVS) and a very good potential WR in Toney. The rest os a crap shoot. I could see if any of those reclamation projects show out in the TC/PS that we shop someone but I'm not buying that we let Juju/Hardman and/or Watson walk.

Juju Smith-Shuster (26 yo)- Re-sign
Marquez Valdez-Scantling (28 yo) - Under Contract until '24
Kadarius Toney (23 yo) - Under Contract until '24
Mecole Hardman (24 yo) - Free Agent
Skyy Moore - (22 yo) Under Contract until '25
Justin Watson (26 yo) - Free Agent

Justyn Ross (23 yo)
John Ross (27 yo)
Ihmir Smith-Marsette (23 yo)
Ty Fryfogle (23 yo)

Just going to say one last thing about Skyy before the playoffs begin: Pat flat missed him on that seam route. Mahomes dirts that ball 3 feet behind Skyy; if Patrick had taken a quarter of a second to reset his feet, so he could get any hip into that throw, and hits Skyy with anything that lets him keep running, Skyy goes for a big yardage play, maybe even a TD. And maybe he'd change a couple more minds around here.

He was that wide open, and I'm not sure if the safety would be able to catch him from where he appeared to be.

Which game?

The last one vs. LVR.

Thing is, I'm going thru my YT history to find the highlight clip I was watching an hour ago, and now I can't find the thing. Great.

Lol, I've been rewatching YT videos for like an hour now, trying to find that one, and of course no dice. I am not staying up all night looking for that thing. I'll try again tomorrow.

Moore was inactive for LVR.

Lol, yep, you were right. And you can find it in one of the clips in this thread. Man, my memory is getting weird. Thx for the heads up.

Yeah, I forgot. It was in the DEN game.

slightly more than halfway through the clip. Chiefs are lined up on the left hash, Pat starts the play reading to the left, comes right and sees Skyy running wide open right down the numbers on the right, and just doesn't reset his feet. he tries to just muscle it out there and ends up dirting it behind Skyy.

there's a safety high, so Skyy probably doesn't score, but it's a big gainer, 20+ yds. Just a bad pass.

Somewhere there’s another clip of this play, with audio, and it’s zoomed in, so you get a little better look. If I can locate it, I’ll post that one as well.

I believe the Mahomes thread (one of them anyway) has that throw in there when talking about Mahomes bad footwork. I disagreed with Lane's conclusion that it was bad footwork that led to a bad throw.

But there are multiple angles of the throw. It actually ended up being a drop because even with the less than ideal placement, it should've been caught for a first down.

lol, what? What happened to "he's running full speed downfield; you can't expect him to stop and come back for the ball?" Come on now, bud.

Yeah, the angle I remember was from behind the LoS, kind of zoomed in a bit; you get a pretty good look at Mahomes and his stance. He's definitely pointed slightly to his left, and you can see pretty clearly when he turns his head back to the right and recognizes that Skyy is wide open; he never resets and just tries to flick it out there, even though there's no pressure on him.

But when your stance is pointed to the left and you try to throw to the right, your hips are kind of locked in place; you can't really follow through with the throw. You maybe could get some torque maybe if you lift off your right foot, but he doesn't do that. He's basically flat-footed there.

I think he just got in a hurry. But regardless it's a pretty poor throw, well behind Skyy. And just by resetting his feet that's a really easy throw for big yardage.

Paying JJSS say, 17 per year, takes away the ability to pay a DE.

Far from it. Releasing just Clark frees up $19.6M.
