Rice blowing out his knee really hurts this year

Andy/Nagy need a gameplan that utilizes the quick passing game, moves Mahomes out of the pocket more, etc.

Really surprised they didn’t make these adjustments after giving up 5 sacks in each of the past two games.

Don't know if it would've mattered all that much. Still 11-1 and still sitting with a rotation of bums at OT hoping that DJ Humphries can come in and salvage the situation.

So…you want the horizontal passing but bitch about the horizontal passing :-)

Now that I think of it…we haven’t done that hardly at all since Rice got hurt. Almost like those quick screens and passes to Rashee were easy 5+ yard bangers bc he was so big and so quick.

Well, it certainly doesn’t help lol

That's just the thing. They've tried a lot of things and they're just not working. At least 3 times in n the last 3 weeks, they called a screen and literally nobody blocked. Even the IOL whiffed.

It won't matter what plays are called until the players can actually execute.

Quick slants/intermediate passing game is not a “horizontal passing game”.

And what’s the alternative?

Continue to watch Mahomes try to take deep drop backs when he has no time in the pocket?
[Reply]

Yeah, DHop is awesome but I’d give him up for a healthy Rashee any time.

JuJu had 7 catches for 130 yards receiving against the Saints running some of those similar routes that worked with Rice.

Juju is like a Wish version of Rashee.

Of course he’s not the caliber of Rice, but he can still be productive being utilized in similar routes, as evidenced by that game.

Entirely giving up on the quick intermediate passing game because Rice is out… when it can help with the Chiefs pass protection issues… is counterproductive.

Losing Watson feels like it hurt more.

The gap between Rice and D Hop is closer than the gap between Watson and Nausea Johnson so far. Maybe Williams will change that though.

I woud like to keep my blood pressure in check this game but this year's prior games tell me otherwise.

Sounds like starting Thuney at LT could be the back-up option if Humphries is not ready to play vs the Chargers… from Andy’s press conference.
[Reply]

That's probably gamesmanship.
