Find the reverse angle somewhere, he executes a great play fake; gets the ball into his body, hides it well and does all that old school DeBerg shit to sell it. He works a little but Sherman doesn't even pretend to have the damn ball. Then he ****s up his block to boot. Mahomes does a nice little roll and if he has more time (i.e. if Sherman doesn't blow it) I'll bet you something opened up downfield.
From a pure mechanics standpoint, you saw that coaching at work from a guy that 'can't work under center'. It was damn encouraging.
Yep. The strong arm stuff is great but we knew he could do that.

Okay, so this is what I was saying I saw from my seat in the end zone with Harris running towards me. If the ball gets to the end zone, it was a TD. I didn't realize Mahomes was drifting backwards a bit and threw off his back foot. If he had time to set his feet, that is a TD.
Good recognition. Maybe a bit better execution, and that's ballgame. :-) [Reply]

Mahomes getting all the first-team reps!
I'm taking vacation during Training Camp I'm going be planning it once the schedule comes out and I'm going spend about a week at St. Joseph and do some fishing and camping along the Missouri river. Fuck yeah I am so stoked.
This is a major goal to spend a few days at Training Camp I can hardly wait. Last year took my son and it was my first time we had a blast. It wasn't packed on a Thursday morning. [Reply]

That's nuts. Thanks for the screen cap. I didn't realize he was open. That's a relief to know that he made the right read. His int was also right read but inaccurate ball. That will be fixed as Nagy and Reid keeps hammering him about footwork, and as he gains experience. This is the reason you get him on field reps. Hard to learn these type of things with practice reps.
The scouting report on taking unnecessary risks... 5 games and we havent seen much of it. I noted in another thread that mahomes does throw off his back foot a lot but unlike most qbs, he tends to make a safe OVERthrow not an underthrow. So this type of underthrow is actually unusual. [Reply]

GOD ALFUCKING MIGHTY.
I was on the road when this game was going down. I'm pretty much fucking speechless at these gifs. If I had ED, it would now be cured. Holy shit watching PMII making that sweet-assed chicken salad, bitches!
When he fine tunes his game and gets the chemistry with his offense that can only come in time, this entire fan base is going to be shooting rockets from their asses in complete and utter ecstasy.
