Chiefs *****The Xavier Worthy Thread***** - Page 141

Worthy can run in a straight line and take sweeps.

Hes basically been a faster Mecole Hardman so far.

Altho I do think hes a better route runner. He needs more strength. He has trouble with any contested catches. He only weighs 100 lbs.

That's probably cost them a couple downfield pass attempts but IDK that any of their misses on the throws have had anything to do with the LT.

Mahomes having less confidence in his protection, especially the blindside, absolutely affects everything about his play. He's gotten to the point where he makes a proper read or two from the pocket and then bails and tries to preemptively extend the play even when he's in a clean pocket.

Yup. And we are seeing the same exact thing from Stroud in Houston. OL is so important.

I'm saying at least one nasty pivot route inside the 5-yard line where he is isolated on one side of the formation.

I want to see this more than I want to see a deep shot honestly. Just give me some regular WR plays. If we can get those, the deep shots will come.

I'm really surprised we haven't hit him on some deep crossers here and there.

Extra motivation to get Worthy involved? Yes!

I just feel like having D Hop, Kelce and Juju out there is much more like what the Chiefs were expecting to have with Rice and Hollywood.

This would be the first time all year that they can use Worthy like they wanted to all along.
