A lot of times, including the last play of the game, they had 2 DL on one side of the OL crash hard and bull rush the G and T. They see Mahomes flushing out constantly. They crash the OL and flush Mahomes out the way they want and have a LB spy fly to that zone they force Mahomes to go to so he’s got instant pressure in his face.
This also cuts off half of the field. Chargers did this in week 2 and Mahomes struggled badly against it. Bills copied that from Harbaugh and I expect other teams to do the same. [Reply]

If I remember right that's what he did on the missed deep ball to Worthy.
At this point in time that would probably be a good idea a few times per game.
In general or whenever Pat is “on”? Absolutely fucking not. I hate cutting the field in half. That just helps the defense.

Nope.
He was a great pick. The value we’ve gotten from him given his draft stock has been amazing.
At the same time, he, and our interior in general, is talked about like he’s borderline elite or something and I’ve never seen that.
Like I said, great player for the resources we’ve allocated at a relatively unimportant position. We need guys like him to win consistently.. but he is not one I would extend unless the deal was super cheap. [Reply]

Thuney struggled early on coming back from injury and i gave him some slack, hes not his old self but hes been better than smith the last 3 weeks. Our all world IOL has given Mahomes no reason to think he can step up consistently. And our tackles are what they are at this point. [Reply]

He has about 3 games a year where you think damn I'd like to have that for 4 more years, then the rest of the season its usually just average. [Reply]

At least Bolton won't require a market resetting contract like Smith allegedly wants. Although I agree that we'd be better served letting him walk as well unless it's significantly cheaper than I'm expecting. [Reply]
I think Veach, Andy, and Clark are tired as fuck of seeing the offense go the wrong way.
I expect a prototypical overcorrection from Veach this offseason even if it costs the defense in some capacity. I can see it getting wild in terms of the spending/trades. [Reply]

But yeah, lets keep blaming the OTs and Matt Nagy when the guy we have folks saying we should sign at a 'discount' of only $18 million in AAV is getting treated like a street free agent.
Man - that's just gross.
Why are the two mutually exclusive? Matt Nagy is also not all that good. [Reply]

Crorect.
I said this in the Bucs game. We could not block Vea. And then we couldn't block Allen against the Broncos. This week it was Oliver.
Pat is immediately breaking the pocket tho, even when it's clean [Reply]

Well....what else you wanna do? They've spent picks, money etc. [Reply]
