This seems to explain Mahomes happy feet
OL got absolutely wrecked the first 3 drives. Patrick probably felt like he had to get rid for he ball quickly or scramble the rest of the game bc of the early OL play.

It’s wild to me that folks are blaming Nagy since he’s in lock-step with Andy. And if you are a Chiefs fan before the Mahomes era, you’d see that the horizontal passing was a major part of the offense with Alex Smith when Doug Pederson was the OC and Nagy was the QB coach who was not call off plays. In fact Nagy was the playcaller with Andy telling Alex to push the ball downfield in Alex’s last year here.
The problem is talent. Their hands are tied. Last season Kelce started declining and wasn’t the consistent player he was for years. Kadarius ****ing Toney and Skyy Moore were WR1 and WR2, MVS was god awful and Rashee was a rookie still learning most of the season. They didn’t have any talent at WR last year none. And McKinnon was their best receiving back and he got hurt. Now they have Carson ****ing Steele, the worst starting RB in the league, starting games, their LT gets beat so badly he gets benched and now Rice, Pacheco and Hollywood are all hurt. And they still have Skyy Moore out there! This isn’t 2018 where we had amazing talent everywhere. It’s an adjustment. It really sucks that Rice, Hollywood and Pacheco got hurt bc I really do think the offense would like miles better with those guys, but this is the reality. The talent on offense has regressed the last 2 years. |

The left side clearly got their shit pushed in. Thuney wasn't albe to anchor at all, from what I just saw, on many of those plays. Stunts make some of that difficult as it is just a guessing game on which guy is coming at you on pass pro. It does, though, make running the ball easier which we have seen this year. I think teams are just daring the Chiefs to be patient, run, dink and dunk.

Man, i really think we need to keep Smith over Thuney. Smith is a damned Iron wall and doesn't get pushed backwards so much. Thuney was getting pushed into Mahomes just about anytime a 1 on 1 bull rush happened. He's still a great left guard, but Smith is just wow.

Thuney is showing some age for sure.
