Those plays are just.....shit....sometimes they're just luck. Give me guys that get open.

I think Andy will get him open, so I'm not too worried about.

Yeah, this is largely where I sit.

I don't think we need a 'jump ball' receiver and never have. Mahomes just doesn't have to have one. Give him time and even the smallest of lanes - he'll find someone to get the ball to. Even in the red zone, that guy sees throwing lanes that just aren't there for mere mortals. He's Neo reading the matrix in slow-motion out there.

Now - iiiiiiiiif Travis Kelce starts to slow, that calculus changes pretty dramatically. Because right now Kelce is his break glass in case of emergency guy.

Though to your point - I think we were going to try more of that last year. We looked like we were putting some of the back shoulder and/or fade routes - even those quick hitters into traffic - for JJSS and MVS. But they just didn't work. MVS doesn't have the body control and JJSS doesn't have the burst, IMO.

Rice has both. It seems like something we may be interested in adding - but we shall see.
