I have no problem saying I was wrong about Albert Wilson and wish him the best, especially since Sammy Watkins is a huge upgrade. Wilson was a gamer in my opinion, though. If you close your eyes you can probably remember at least three third and long situations where he got the first down against all odds.

Agreed on Wilson, undrafted guy who managed to stick and got better every year... best wishes on him

Its somewhat amazing that I was going to be content rolling with Hill, Conley, Wilson and whichever of the young guys stepped up for 2018... we went from a sneaky good role player like Al, to a player who can be a #1 in his own right

You go, Brett Veach

That group would be decent enough IF Hill and Kelce were to stay healthy. If injuries occurred though, we’d have real problems..

Now we add Sammy, and I just can’t wait to see what defenses try to do. In theory, you’d like to double team Watkins because he can run any route and is explosive. But then you’re left one on one with Hill, who can run past a CB even with a 10 yard cushion. Kelce gets extra safety attention as is.

But if teams double Hill and try to contain the deep ball, then you’re stuck 1v1 with Watkins who can get open against anyone under those circumstances and take a game over (see BUF@KC, 2015, among others).

I don’t see anyone stopping that unit too easily if they’re 100% healthy.

Hill is a human pit bull. That guys built to take beating and keep on rolling.

We are going to see a ton of zone defense this season.

Couldnt agree more, it was a killer move that not only creates nearly impossible mismatches on the field, but it also creates a great bulwark against injury

Replacing Wilson with Watkins was a brilliant stroke for Veach, Mahomes is going to feast this year... camp cant come soon enough, the anticipation for 2018 is a sickness

This has been a pretty overhyped issue.

He got injured in 2016. It's football. Guys get injured.

Great.

Have fun dealing with Kelce up the seam and Hunt out of the backfield.

And those deep ins to Reek and Watson will clear that right up.

This offense should be really ****ing good next season. Too many weapons.

I’m not going to expect them to put up 30 a game or anything, but I do expect there to be games where the offense just can’t be kept up with and they roll teams.

I expect 30+ a game. I just need the Special Teams to get back to what they used to.

BossChief 06-22-2018 09:28 AM

The opening stretch is going to test the offenses ability to move the ball and score points. It’s gonna be a fun first 6-7 game stretch and I’m prepared to see Pat make lots of mistakes. We’re all gonna need to be patient
