I'm on mobile so I can't embed, but he seems to focus way more on reading the defense and figuring out where the weakness is and how to use it to get open.
Now, like you say, if the QB is running and its a broken play, then yeah, find some space and get open. |
Oh I think the way Travis does it is different.
I don't even think JJSS is doing things the way Kelce does things and he appears to have Mahomes full trust.
That play with Worthy? Naw - that's just breaking off a route when the QB scrambled. Heck, it's not even THAT advanced.
All Worthy did there was get to the top of a pretty simple stop route, see the play had broken down and then come back towards the QB and move into a throwing lane. That's HS football stuff; WR 101. I guess I just don't understand why I should be wowed by it.
Had he spotted something early in the route and just sat instead of pushing the seam - maybe. But if Mahomes doesn't do a couple little stutter steps to buy enough time for Worthy to FINALLY turn around, Worthy's back is still to that play as it falls apart. That play was pretty much entirely on Mahomes - Worthy was mostly just doing what I'd expect a Varsity kid to do in High School.
