How in the world did a leader of men like DV make the TwistedChief cardinal sin of calling out a player in public?
Parcells called out Phil Simms, and then Simms led the team to the SB.
Coaches call out players in public often. Why? To motivate them. Continuing to take the blame for the drops only makes Mahomes look stupid, and insulates the receivers from taking responsibility for the drops.
IDGAF that MVS posted a tweet saying it was his fault, because the reality is there is almost a 0% chance that he actually works on the issue in practice or afterwards.
None of the receivers seem to work on it. I feel this is the biggest thing we miss about EB. He held players accountable. Nagy just wants to be their friend. After all, Nagy said MVS was responsible for the Kelce TD because he does things that don't show up in the stat line.

LOL.
I love how you just moved the goalposts from the QB calling out receivers to now pointing out two isolated instances that haven’t happened in the last decade of coaches calling out individual players. As if two instances make it a very regular thing.
And a 0% chance that MVS works on catching balls in practice or otherwise?! Are you on drugs? Yeah, no one is working on anything ever. The coaches don’t coach and the players don’t practice.
From The Athletic:
Quote:
Beyond a lack of concentration from the receivers and Kelce, who has five drops, many of the drops have occurred when the pass catcher anticipates getting hit by a defender, often when the opposing defense is in zone coverage, which has happened on 69.6 percent on Mahomes’ attempts, according to TruMedia and Pro Football Focus.
But every practice for the Chiefs starts with the same drill, one that is designed to prepare the receivers for such moments. The drill requires the receivers to execute skills other than speed — quickness, soft hands and concentration. Each receiver runs a 5-yard hitch route that forces him to come back to the ball between two pop-up dummies. Next to each dummy is an assistant — passing game coordinator Joe Bleymaier and statistical analysis coordinator Mike Frazier — with a pad similar to a pugil stick in their hands. As receivers coach Connor Embree passes the ball to the receiver, Bleymaier and Frazier attempt to dislodge the ball with their padded stick.

Dude, we get it - you’re upset and emotional about this. But you don’t need to say dumb stuff.
