I don't know what the hell is up with Watkins. But if he's not 100% I'd rather slide Pringle in there. |

Hardman can't get off press coverage and right now can run 1 or 2 routes on the tree. He's a gadget player at this point, which is fine, but they need Sammy to not suck.

I am curious if anyone has watched the All-22 to see if Watkins is getting open or if the OL just isn't giving Pat enough time or maybe Pat isn't seeing him. It is hard to tell on TV what is all going on. |

Eh, I see Dj already addressed that.
After watching some cutups of the game Sunday, there was definitely some opportunity to get the ball to Watkins, just didn't work out. Need to force it to him a bit. Also, Kelce was bad Sunday. Drops early, I'm pretty sure on the jump ball over the middle he caught he ran the wrong route and just stood there like a stooge and happen to catch a pass. He goes thru stretches where he's just unfocused or something. |

But I admittedly can't claim to have gone in-depth on the guy to see what he's actually doing out there. Maybe Mahomes isn't getting through his progressions as well (afterall, Robinson's scramble drill plays have largely vanished as well - the play erased by penalty last week is the first I can think of in a long while). Maybe he's simply a forgotten man and being a relatively subdued guy, isn't demanding the ball so he isn't getting it. But I'm sure not seeing a guy who appears to be making himself vital out there. I may make a point to give him a more focused look during the Broncos game.

Kelce wants to be considered the best TE in the league, figure it out and get off it. |

I said it yesterday I think, but I think they need to get him the ball a couple times early so he locks in. It's taboo around here, but Pat just hasn't been playing as well. He's locked in on Tyreek and Kelce (which isn't bad necessarily) but he just looks a little skiddish to me. I wonder if the injuries and lack of OL play has worn on him a bit, added with the conditions etc. |

That said, what appears to make Hill so good at them is his ability to simply stop and go straight up to get the ball. That 'springiness' is the most ridiculous physical trait he has, and that's saying a lot for a dude that's maybe the most unique athlete in football. You see those runs where he's going full tilt towards the sideline and Mahomes floats one out there - dude just stops on a dime, goes straight up and hangs there for the reception, then somehow hits the ground seemingly at full speed to gain another 4-5 yards. Hardman's fast with amazing acceleration, but I don't think he has that kind of ability to just stop, change direction and give Pat the kind of timing leeway those plays sometimes need. It would just be nice to have that wrinkle to keep teams from just keying on Hill, though. Sooner or later that play will become as coached against as those inside pitch plays we used to run that went from unstoppable to fairly useless in the span of about 10 weeks.

It’s not taboo. Other people have mentioned it.

Like to believe we have that in Baltimore. This weekend could be a huge weight off our shoulder if we beat new England. |

It's not wrong, either.
But it's also worth pointing out that 'Off Mahomes' is still as good as anyone in the game. And buying into that theory kinda requires that we ignore what he did against TN - he was a monster in that game. Eh, we'll see. I agree he's looked more like a mere Hall of Fame contender rather than the guy we should probably just erect a completely new building for. I was looking forward to the grand opening of the Hall of Mahomes across the street in Canton. We may just want to hold off on scheduling the ribbon cutting ceremony just yet.

I think the field in Mexico City and the wind last weekend had a lot to do with it. |
