Andy is hurting the team by not allowing Mahomes to do a QB sneak. He needs to do something different this year. |

Thats why he can return kicks and not play any other special teams in the game. |

All of a sudden I’m on board thinking he’s the next McCaffrey, sometimes I hate it here.
I’ll prolly buy his jersey next week |

Isn't there a special drop kick type of play? Not used that much, but he seems to be able to do that. Not sure if this is relevant or not...

I would guess if he makes the team this year it'll be because he's a 4-phase special teamer. I know somebody said earlier that tackling wasn't his strong suit in rugby, but does have the experience doing it. With his athleticism he could be useful on kick coverage teams. |

They can do whatever they want with him without consideration of roster spots. |

There’s a reason he’s signing with the World Champions, and Andy Reed.
NFL wants publicity and more international markets, and Andy will scheme a few special thing up for him to be sure he leads Sports Center in preseason…at a minimum. It’s all about winning and repeating for us fans, so this is going to get fun, one way or another. Wonder if the Chiefs will be offered Hard Knocks… |

I've watched a few reports from the UK sports press about LRZ and am impressed with their knowledge of the Chiefs. It's pretty cool that our success has translated into an international following.

I read somewhere where he had run practice 40s in the 4.3s and he hasn’t probably had the same time of track training /coaching most of the college kids get specifically to run at at the combine , not playing football might only be the issue but it sounds like his dad played some American football , if he was a fan and watch the game /played madden etc.. some natural feel for space it could see him transitioning. Would be a cool story

Of course he is going to be naive in learning the playcalls and running crisp routes but Andy Reid is smart enough to know that you don’t bring someone in because they can do things you don’t normally see and then try to force them to conform to all the norms of a player in their position. Trying to do that would be like acknowledging that Mahomes is the all time greatest scramble drill improviser in the game yet deciding that because Quarterbacks are traditionally pocket passers you are going to chain him to the pocket. |
