After this pick, I'm reminded about how much we used to run the motion + race to the pylon play at the goal line, and how much fun it was to watch Tyreek LOL NAH dudes. That was such an easy play, sure it didn't work, but it was fairly low risk. And since, it seems like it's been a grind to get in the end zone.
Now, Mahomes has that back, but also has all the crazy shovel play shit that everyone tried to copy, the corndog plays which nobody can seem to defend against, and Rices screen shit which happens to work miraculously. And if you spread out too much, Pop is coming for your lunch money.
Man. I've missed that play.
The thing is that same stupid easy play might be good for huge yardage if you send Brown deep and the safety goes too, Worthy can come out of the backfield on a wheel route and eviscerate linebackers covering too much space like Jamaal Charles used to do, and by the time Reid got ahold of Jamaal he wasn't a shadow of his former self, speed-wise, and I don't think Charles had the top end that Worthy does. Though, that might be offset because secondaries were bigger and slower then when Charles came in.
tl;dr: LET'S GO!
