So Imma speak briefly to "Why doesn't Moore get the ball" again and with a twist - it's not always his fault but even when it isn't, it kinda is...

Here's the play I'm talking about:



Moore has some separation at his cut and Mahomes is on time finding him. Then he doesn't throw it - why?

I think it's because he doesn't think Moore will get the corner. He sees that as a giveup play; picking up 4 when you need 8. Because as he's looking, the CB has already changed directions so he knows it's a footrace to the boundary. And he doesn't think Moore's gonna win it.

Moore did what he should there based on the playcall, but it's physical limitations we've seen from Moore at times that have Mahomes pulling the ball down, looking for more and eventually throwing an interception.

If Moore is going to be on the field and is going to run that route, Mahomes has to throw it and let the chips fall where they may. But the problem here is that Mahomes may just be right. As the clip progresses you can see that the CB is right in his pocket. There's a real good chance that Moore DOESN'T get that edge and it's a 4 yard gain.

So again - please go sign Mecole !@#$ing Hardman. That's a Hardman play. It's a ball he gets and motors to the boundary to at least pick up the first and he may just house.

You're asking Moore to run 'fast guy' plays when he just doesn't play that fast. And Mahomes knows it.
