Chiefs Are we worried about our offense? - Page 18

Being only marginally better than last season? Worthy likely has a higher ceiling and more potential than Hardman but he is unlikely, at least for now, to be a 6-8 target a game guy as an option on the majority of passing plays. Rice is better than Rice last season so that's good. Kelce is probably worst though.

But mostly what I’m fearful about is that losing Brown is going to be a major impediment to the offense being noticeably better than last season. He was likely big in our schemes and philosophy. I know we typically struggle vs the Bengals but as of right now I'm not sure what would make me confident we dramatically improve over last season.

What does everyone think? How can we ensure the significant improvement over last season that it seems we might need?

If Brown is out for the year....they probably should.

Was it Fowler or Schefter?

Otherwise, I am skeptical.

Panthers are talking about moving Diontae JOhnson already. IIRC we were in on that in PITT.

So yeah.

Or....do the Browns wanna move Cooper?

I'd rather make a move for a DE but WR would do.

Diontae is a great fit. Either really solve the man-beating problem we may or may not currently have.

But if Brown is coming back, if, I'd be fine staying pat.

We def have a lot of eggs in the Omenihu basket and I don't love that off an ACL.

But shit. If you could get that offense to a level that's a cut above the rest, that might be enough in the current league to get by.

I'm not out on Cam Thomas just yet

If the offense struggles until then and Brown's return seems less likely, they should be looking to improve. That's not groundbreaking. Veach isn't sitting around doing nothing until the draft.

Oh. I like that idea a lot.

I mean the incentives are gonna free up and Johnson will only carry a pro-rated $7 million cap hit. He'd slot in nicely.

And plays a lot like Hollywood.

Do we have a 4th? Don't think I'd give a 3rd.

Yeah - I don't think we should be banking on much from Omenihu. That first year back from an ACL is spotty for most guys.

Nor am I. But...it ain't quarterback. If you're a DE that can help, you're gonna play pretty quickly. Thus far he hasn't. Makes me a little skittish.

Yeah I like Cam Thomas but it bothers me that we don’t have much speed off the edge. Felix was supposed to be that guy but it just hasn’t worked out.

Think DL is gonna be the biggest need next offseason. Can’t continue relying on Chris Jones as he ages

The FAU thing.....ain't lookin good.

He's a FA after the year, I can't imagine it would take more than a 5th to get Johnson. Would work out nice for us.

The Cam Thomas thing is weird but they seem to do that alot with DL they bring in.

They really do favour the guys they know. We could do with improving DE and WR, and some LT insurance is desperately needed. But in terms of what's available, looks like there's nothing at LT or DE

What did you expect from a Lee's Summit guy?

Based on his cap hit, aren't they?
