I’m super intrigued now.
I thought this would be a slower version of tyreek hill (which is still great. It’s just acknowledging that tyreek is a freak of nature). And he kind of is and that’s ok.
What popped off the screen for me is that he can get you a couple more yards. He has tremendous shiftiness to dodge, and plays surprisingly big enough to muscle forward. How many games have we seen mahomes work for many first downs in a drive? It’s really not ideal because you need perfection on every single play and one yardage loss sends you uphill. There are games where defenses will be forcing us to do a lot of dunk and dunk. Our RBs get 1-2 yards sticking us with 2nd and 3rd and long. We could use some freebie first downs where a playmaker can take something short and extend for a first down.
Now, tyreek could do that and turn a 3 yard stop into a 40 yard touchdown. I don’t think Toney is that guy. But I think he can turn a bunch of short stops and turn them into first downs with a little extra on top. That’s exciting to think about. It’s a weapon we’ve been missing for a while.
