You can’t just look at isolated incidents of WRs getting open. We can do that all day long showing CEH having no blocking and blame his problems on the OL. What matters is do they do their job consistently. And the answer is no. We have WRs who get open from time to time which means you’ll have plenty of plays where the guy is open. But if each guy doesn’t get open CONSISTENTLY… why would mahomes put them in front of his progressions. mahomes will be quick to look him off. If skyy doesn’t have breakaway speed he’s gonna be reluctant to take a checkdown that gets closed on quickly. If our WRs dont adjust their route or make good catch adjustments mahomes needs these guys to be wide open to trust throwing to them. Because in a timing and precision offense those small mishaps lead to large mistakes. In a scramble drill you need the wr to be reading what the qb is reading.
Mahomes doesn’t trust his WRs. Reid gameplans early around our WRs. Sure they deserve blame but it’s shocking how much people will place more blame on these 2 HOFers because they want to deflect from WRs just not being very good. The irony is nobody in the media is blaming Reid or mahomes. They unanimously are putting this on the WRs. We’ve got two guys out there taking majority snaps who are not consistently dependable. Think we all know the solution - cut their reps down and put in consistent options. We just need to implement sooner rather than later.
