Am I missing something or wasn't there just 1 single poster questioning his PTSD?

One thing that has stood out that I haven't seen discussed is Rice creating some separation downfield against quality corners (we've seen him do this against Williams and Watson as well as against Conner). That's popped up in some clips.

If he can do that in game action, I don't think there's a tendency you can plan for.

Teams may come in thinking they're going to continue to dare Mahomes and company to beat them deep, but I can't see that lasting more than a few games. If the Ravens come out like that Week 1, with them trying to run McDonald's game plan from the 2nd half of the AFC title game, I think it's going to be a very, very ugly result. Like the 1st quarter of the Tampa Bay game in 2020.

My thought is always--who the hell are they going to cover.? I forget about Brown being there.

I think he's just extremely high adrenaline and he gets an extra shot of it when he has the ball. If you remember he had a few drops from trying to take off running a split second before the ball arrived.

I would expect teams to play shell again like they did 2021 and 2022.

I worked along side heroes for about 10 years. including Special forces. Toughest SOB's you'll ever meet. Most had issues with PTSD, since they already had TS/SCI clearance, they were given jobs working with us civilian techs to keep them busy while getting treatment.

After a while when you earn their respect, they would talk to you like a buddy. The trauma endured for years was heart breaking. And it was told matter of factly.

I had 3 of those heroes go home and commit suicide after our shift. If some of the toughest harden men in the nation can have PTSD a civilian can.

But if we can prove the deep threat is back, then it's over for the rest of the league.

Hopefully the ravens will dare us to go deep. And we will. Over and over

I would love the Chiefs to blow up the ravens in that first game.
