For all you people asking for Rice to get more targets.
- Slow the playback of the film to 0.25 or 0.5. You’ll see the plays develop much better.
- Rice runs his routes fine. They need work, but they’re not bad enough to be a huge problem. Routes are supposed to get you open in “windows” and separation from defenders is not indefinite. Rice has plenty of open windows on film here.
Also, Mahomes misses a bunch of wide open players. Here are just some of the time stamps I noticed just watching through once:
- Pop at 0:24.
- Rice at 0:32 has inside leverage and Mahomes has him in his read as long as he throws on schedule but he holds.
- Toney at 0:43 is ridiculously open.
- Both Rice and Kelce have good inside leverage at 0:51 but Mahomes understandably goes to Kelce.
- Rice is wide open at 0:59 if Mahomes had just kept him in his sight instead of moving on to his next progression.
- Mahomes has Kelce at 1:07 but instead throws to Watson for an interception.
- Rice at 1:26. Mahomes really could have gone to Rice instead of Watson.
- Kelce at 1:34 is wide fucking open and I have no idea what Mahomes is doing here. This one is really bad.
- Kelce at 2:05 and Mahomes just misses this throw from waiting a touch too long.
- Kelce at 2:59 is far more open than Watson and should be in Mahomes vision.
- Rice at 3:12 but Mahomes just does not go into motion even though Rice is in his progression and Rice has plenty of space.
- Kelce at 3:21 is a good read by Mahomes but the throw is too far in front.
- Rice at 3:40 badly beats his man.
So watching this, I notice Kelce and Rice getting open a bunch of times and Mahomes either waits too long or throws to Watson instead which ends up as either an incompletion or interception a lot.
So a couple points on this film:
- Slow the playback of the film to 0.25 or 0.5. You’ll see the plays develop much better.
- Rice runs his routes fine. They need work, but they’re not bad enough to be a huge problem. Routes are supposed to get you open in “windows” and separation from defenders is not indefinite. Rice has plenty of open windows on film here.
