Tyreek isn’t a great blocker either. He’s just a better version of Hardman so he’s not going to be out there unless Tyreek is hurt.

Oh they'll be out there together eventually. It just wasn't going to be last night. Andy was keeping his cards really close to the vest.

He must be running better routes and blocking better. That’s the only good explanation. Sure would love to see Mecole’s speed on the field more often.

This team is so good now you can save the great stuff for the best competition and roll out vanilla gameplans for everyone else. |

Yep. I fully expect to see some crazy shit against the Ravens. They're going to play the Chargers much like they did the Texans.

I think Andy is going to go buck nasty on those mother****ers bc that’s a key game for playoff seeding. Have to agree with everyone that he’s not gonna show his hand until then, especially against a Tyrod Taylor team that we can beat scoring naturally on vanilla plays.

I think it had everything to do with the game plan.
Chiefs clearly wanted to establish the run. I mean, Reid ran the ball more than he threw it. We didn't even do that with Matt Moore at QB. I think we are going to run over the Chargers too. Then in week three against the Ravens look out. Reid will open up the playbook and I expect that's when we see Willie Gay out there too. Fun season. |

It was week one. Play calling was in preseason mode. Also Hardman is still learning. Reid’s offense takes years for WRs to ace.
Reid is a strategic genius. Hardman is going to be a huge part of our late season and playoff push. Why reveal any of that now? We just demolished the 3rd best team in the AFC without even trying. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. It’s a process. Also other cliches. |

I had/have sky high expectations for Hardman this season. Thought that all he needed to do was tighten up his release a bit and continue improving his route running over the summer. What I saw last night in terms of playing time indicates to me that maybe he didn't get this done during the off-season. It's early though, pretty small sample size. But if it turns into a trend, that's probably why.
And like some other people said, DRob is a really good blocker for a WR. |

I’m guessing as others have pointed out already, that they’re saving things for future games. I’m sure he will see more time as the season goes on, but he does need to provide better execution as a blocker to get full time snaps.

I get that Andy doesn’t want to show his hand and he’s saving plays for later in the year and for the playoffs. But I don’t get why we have a receiver that can go toe to toe with Roberto Duran for hands of stone. We should have let DRob go and put Jody Fortson on the team. Kid was ripping it up last year and this from what I hear. |

I do think Andy holds things back, but honestly I think the biggest thing was we had a huge lead and were trying to establish the run. You can't set it up so every time Hardman's on the field it's a pass or defense will figure that out in 2 seconds.
