In a way we are though as KC will have to adjust how they play on offense. They can’t just play the deep game and will have to spread it around more. They did not bring in a WR equal to what was lost in Hill, but overall the depth is better than with Hill and JAGs like Robinson, Pringle, Gordon etc. Also now there might (big might) be a chance the team runs more which will make them more balanced.

Sounds like someone salty that they have to field punts from the modern Steve Bono.

I giggle just thinking about Hill having to catch passes for Tua.

People really make too big a deal of Tyreek potentially losing his speed.
I can't recall a single NFL player with legendary speed who just lost it one day in a hurry (outside of injury, of course). Guys like Darrell Green, Deion Sanders, and Randy Moss all maintained elite speed until they retired. |

With the way teams were defending him, he had to turn into more of a short and intermediate receiver. On those throws, his elite tracking ability isn't as big a factor, and there is just more traffic to fight through to complete the catch. So the fact his catch radius is limited by his physical stature led to him reaching outside his frame more than a regular-sized receiver would, which led to tipped balls and INTs. If teams are going to sit in a cover 2 deep shell against a Mahomes-Hill combo, that means you either run his ass off on decoy deep routes all day, or try to use him in a way that is not ideal for his skill set. With the changes KC has made at receiver, Mahomes IS going to have better, larger targets underneath with larger catch radii. If the threat of Valdes-Scantling and Hardman keeps teams in the shell, I believe we'll really see that pay off. All comes down to whether teams continue to sit in the shell to protect against the deep ball. I think they will. Hopefully the Chiefs are also less stubborn about running against those super light boxes, too. |

Going to be interesting watching him in Miami with Tua because he will be running alot of slants and short routes as well I imagine. Will teams play 2 high against the Fins you think? I am not sure Tua has the arm to scare opposing defenses. |

I really hope this is not going to be like the Bronco's Megathread that never leaves the front page of the lounge.
