Dandy.

I was talking about someone who like the team because of a logo.

Fun long read with some film breakdown as well. Sort of a draft perspective and comparison of some of his college plays with what they are doing now on offense and how Reid has made it a smooth transition.

Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid Should be Illegal

I don’t know anything about basketball, but I follow enough people on social media who know enough about basketball to know that once, Chris Paul was going to get traded to the Lakers and the commissioner stopped it. I’m pretty sure it was because Chris Paul was going to make the Lakers too good. Chris Paul to the Lakers was giving a flamethrower to a T-Rex. The league office would have been an accessory to murder for each Los Angeles Game. It couldn’t be allowed.

I also understand that NBA fans widely treat that decision with mockery and derision. I don’t really know enough about the situation, and I don’t really care.

The NFL should have had a similar big red button to smash when Andy Reid drafted Patrick Mahomes.

“So I had to try and fix the guys at the line of scrimmage,” Mahomes said on 810. “Kelce kind of alerted it to me early. So we fixed guys at the line of scrimmage, and when I did that, it accidentally confused their defense, because it changed the strength and everything. So we got everybody in the right spot.

Wow look at this. Field general.



So the original formation was single back 3 wide and they changed to 5 wide.

You can see how confused the Steelers are.

So when I read something like that, I think I start to realize why DC's make the same mistakes so often.

"Well the safety took the wrong read and Mahomes burned them. That's okay - I'll coach my guy not to make the wrong read and we'll pick that off..."

M'kay buddy - whatever you say. I think too many coaches fail to give enough credit to their opposite numbers (as fans, we're always guilty of this) and I think they especially fail to accept the fact that their players are not robots and they ARE going to make mistakes (and as fans we're definitely guilty of this...)

It's the old baseball axiom at work - good pitching beats good hitting. And it usually does. But pitchers never execute 100% of the time. The difference between mediocre hitters and great hitters is that A) great hitters won't defeat a perfect pitch, but they may spoil a few until the mistake gets there and B) they don't miss the mistake.

So what separates a mediocre QB from a great QB is that the great QB will have plays where the other side executes. And when that happens, he won't make the major screwup and create a sack/turnover that botches the drive. He'll foul the pitch off, so to speak, and live to play another down. Then when the mistake does come - he doesn't miss it. He sees that seam and hits it.

If I'm a DC - I simply do not play single high against him apart from some odd circumstances and maybe an occasional change of pace to keep the reads from getting too repetitive. I certainly don't play it as often as Pitt and SD did. But watch - a slew of DCs will look at that tape and say "yeah, but if I just make sure my safety doesn't bite, he'll be okay" or even with the Cover 2 looks when they try to send some extra pressure "Well if I just make sure my safeties get the proper width - we'll be in good shape"

They won't. Not every time. When they do, you'll probably come away with an imcomplete pass. You may even string a few of those together and force a punt. But by God, they're gonna make a mistake and when they do, Mahomes is gonna gut 'em. Probably best to just accept that and work on mitigating the damage.
