I see alot of people complain about Russ dumping it off a lot, but has anybody realized tho that they literally have 4 wrs on the team? I feel like that limits the offense so much, can’t even run a lot of shotgun sets. The tight ends seem to be none existent as-well. Hopefully we can pick up a wr and open this offense up a little pit
Doesn’t Mahomes dump it down to his safety net, Kelce? Kelce doesn’t always get the pass in stride, he doesn’t run deep(er) posts or go routes. Kelce sits in soft zones between 5 - 8 yards sometimes, sometimes further. Just because we’re dumping it for short yardage, at least it’s beyond the line of scrimmage as opposed to Teddy who would dump down at or behind the line of scrimmage.
Passes don’t have to be pretty or flashy, they just have to be effective. Obviously they have been because we’re winning…
Last point, Rod Smith used to say, “you only need to gain 3.5 yards on every play and eventually you’ll score.” The slower the offense moves the ball down the field, the longer the opposing defense is on the field getting worn out.
