You really didn't have to read between any lines for that. This is a direct quote from an article in August. "Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo repeatedly mentioned how Anudike-Uzomah was behind on where they needed him to be and would need to catch up." Maybe next time predict something that hasn't been outright stated.

Playing DE isn't a complicated job. Karlaftis made plays year 1. This guy has been invisible. He's actually had some snaps and nobody has ever called out his name.
Over whom?

Where are the snaps coming from?

You taking snaps from Omenihu, Karlaftis, or Danna? You taking away the snaps Chris Jones takes at DE?

He's in a much different spot than Karlaftis (who was guy 3 in the rotation ina group with two older guys who needed to be spelled in front of him).

You can't just blanket say "First round picks have to produce Year 1." Context matters.

There are going to be bad picks. No team has ever or will ever hit on 100% of their draft picks.

This is by far, without a doubt, the best era of Chiefs drafting in our lifetimes. But there will still be misses.
I don't think anyone is declaring every single pick to be great or "future hall of famer," are they?

My question is, how much does he gain this year from little playing time? It seems like the consensus is that rookie DEs struggle early on most of the time until they get more experience, then they ideally come on strong after some growing pains. We saw that with Karlaftis. FAU is clearly going to be a different case due to the depth and lack of playing time, but would it be reasonable to expect him to hit the ground running in 2024 without seeing the field much this year?

I'm fine with him not doing much here this year given the circumstances, but IMO he has to be 100% ready to go in a significantly larger role from the get go next year.

He's still being coached by the best DL coach in the game.

He definitely needs to be operating at 100 percent capacity next year. There's no "learn on the job" after a redshirt year.

Is he related to Tanoh Kpassagnon?

LOL. Look at this absolutely useless poster that has never brought a single thing of value/subtance into a football discussion

Now you're being ridiculous. I'm starting to see why so many posters here don't like you.

You think I give a flying ****?

I have the respect of the posters that actually know ball, and that's all that matters to me. The rest of you just get your feelings hurt when I call out your stupidity.

He needs to get stronger. He's got potential but was on the ground a lot in college. That's completely fixable with an off-season in an NFL program

As someone who knows ball, I'm on the fence.
