This could be the offenses golden ticket and we got a couple of trash games on the schedule to test it out.

Seeing that confidence build in him and the chemistry with Mahomes was so nice. Probably a big reason the loss hardly bothered me.

We are on a similar timeline as was with Rashee Rice if they can keep building. Not that I expect Worthy to be the #1 target in the playoffs no matter what, that's gonna be Kelce and Hopkins. But if they can keep cranking out 60-80 yards and many TDs, let's roll.

It's time to pull the plug on Steele, for this year at least.

When Wanya Morris is your LT your RB has to be able to pick up blocks and chip properly.

For whatever reason, we keep trying to make Steele a thing when every single snap he's taken should've been one that Perine took instead.

Its bizarre.

He’s certainly the closest thing we have. He’s not exceptionally fast or laterally quick though.

I would love to poach Ty Johnson from the Bills next Spring. 5’10 210 lbs, 4.40, 27 bench reps. Really shifty player. Only 27.

He fits that role very well for us

That makes zero sense. We could kill 2 birds with one stone using him more. We would get a lot more production from our passing game and most importantly, if you run a few RB screens behind the pass rush, it forces the pass rushers to be less aggressive which helps out the line and in turn allows you to run longer developing downfield plays.

It's the kind of stuff that makes me want to accept the "they're saving things for the playoffs" cope. But...who the **** saves RB screens lol.

Yeah, I was excited when they signed Perine because of his receiving skills. They're either saving him for the playoffs or the coaches believe he's got nothing left in the tank.

Need to do that again. Hell Sean Payton is doing that in Denver with Marvin Mims and it’s working.

They need speed at the RB spot for those passes in the flat. They aren’t making the first guy miss very often anymore.

Didn't Hardman line up in the backfield a couple of times Sunday night I even mentioned it to my son during the game.

Yeah not sure why Kingsley was the only one to get the redshirt when Steele’s misses were just as egregious against the Donks.

You could argue he brings value elsewhere, but seeing as he’s a fumble risk, not reliable to convert on 3rd and 1, and hasn’t flashed as a receiver..

It will be really nice when we can use Kareem as the 3rd down back and he can sit in there and block, or catch balls out of the backfield. I really think that will take the offense to another level from what we've seen. Hunt was lethal as a receiving back in his first tenure here, but we haven't been able to exploit that much so far because he's the only legit RB we have on the squad, so we have to hand him the ball 25 times and have someone else in there on 3rd downs.

He looks like he has plenty left to me when they actually get him the ball in space.

Also makes it an interesting decision because we have CEH behind Steele and....well...fucking nothing behind Kingsley.

On the long incompletion....as I've watched I can't figure out why we blocked it like we did?

I've said it multiple times. Why are we not working the short game more? Even if its just 5 yards and fall down. We've struggled to get in a rythym for a few weeks. Worthy looked like a weapon catching it coming across with some room to run. Hardman can do it, Gray scored a touch down on a fast pass. Pats standing back there holding the ball. If the ball isn't out at the back of the drop he lobbing it up half ass. Dial up plays where he can take his drop and just rip it.

Worthy caught a deep ball and got sandwiched between two defenders and still held onto it. That was very impressive.

That was genuinely impressive. Thought for sure that would be a breakup but dude ate the hits and kept the ball.

Once Pacheco returns there should be no future role for Steele on this team.
