That was a MASSIVE window to throw into and Mahomes just held it a bit too long. It happens. |

It is very early, and way too early to claim to know what he'll be. Gun to my head I'd say I don't think he'll be that guy, but I'll be very happy to eat crow. In the meantime the speed is still an incredibly useful weapon |

Seems like he’s looking at Hardman lined up tight 1-on-1 with a safety over the top. Not a bad look. Hardman will burn most safeties on a fly in that alignment. Probably what Mahomes was thinking too, but it takes Hardman forever and it finally becomes clear that he isn’t creating separation so he moves on to Worthy. |

Looks like the Bucs were doing a lot of post-snap movements.
Pre-snap it looks like #32 will be on Worthy and #23 will be on Hardman. At the snap, #32 bails to the deep third, #23 runs over to the flat and #3 runs with Hardman upfield. If Worthy was the first read there that one probably goes for a TD, but no way of knowing they’d change coverage like that. |

Yeah, without knowing how the play is drawn up I’m going to go with my gut and say that is more on Worthy.
He squeezes the sideline way too much and too early for no apparent reason. They’ve got a high low coverage going on there and neither defender is even within 5 yards of him, no need to help them out by pressing the boundary until you absolutely have to. He did seem to throttle it down a bit once he realized he’d found a hole in the zone so that’s good. He’s picking things up in real time. And hopefully that lash footwork is an easy fix for him moving forward. I can live with that mistake in a mostly meaningless week 9 game. Much better to figure it out now than in January. |
