Does Veach give him a call?

And again, it's all a question of degrees. It's not that he's being quick, it's that he has been quicker than he has ever been in his entire career. That's GOTTA mean something. Because he's been extremely comfortable in that pocket many many times throughout the course of an 8 year career and he wasn't ripping the ball out like it was on fire then.

And then threw the ball instead of waiting for guys to get open. I've watched the All 22. You can't always see the WR routes on the live broadcast. They adjusted a lot of their play calls to have more guys working underneath to get the ball out quicker.

He had to know some of that was happening. Which is again why I get to how massive Brown and not Thuney has been to this change because that's the addition that saw the offense go from the horror show it was against Cleveland to the unit that looked good against Houston/Pitt. (Seriously, you can't have watched that game if you think Cleveland was one of the 3 best games our offense has had this year -- it's one of the 5 worst this offense has had in the entirety of the Reid/Mahomes era). Am I supposed to believe he mentally changed overnight when they played Houston? I just can't get there. The simplest explanation is a change in the progressions - short to long. With the longer being 'see me' plays on those corner routes that Hollywood can excel at or at least draw attention away from. All of which are extremely easy to install and would show immediate dividends.

As well as last year. Rashee had one of the lowest WR aDOT’s in the league.

Fastest pop time of his entire career. No, you don't have 'tons of 5 and 7 step drops' and get that. Because it's all relative to him and he's not had an entire career full of poor protection. It CAN'T be comfort in the pocket because he's BEEN comfortable in the pocket and wasn't getting the ball out in under 2.4 seconds. The math is what the math is.

Rashee is built for that. I mean like lab designed YAC monster. When he went out no one took that quick hitter role and it was getting Mahomes killed.

We have a former pro bowl LT on the roster. We have a once-in-a-generation LG.
I can't believe anybody would rather have Thuney at LT and Caliendo at LG. That's an inferior lineup, period. The ONLY reason people have a problem with this is because deep down, they don't trust the team. If DJ is ready, they will play him. If he's not, they won't. It's as simple as that. Take the emotion out of it, look at the two scenarios, and realize that objectively, DJ and Thuney are the best lineup possible. It remains to be seen if DJ can make that happen but that's the coaches' call. Have a little ****ing faith. |

The reason it looked so easy was because Andy was willing to spam 'em. That's also WHY we were able to get the ball out so quickly. We knew what we wanted to use with the looks we got and immediately knew where the ball was going to go. And Andy will absolutely do that in the post-season. But I don't think the smarter DCs will allow us to get away with it as much. We'll need plan Bs and I'd be floored, Thuney or no, if we stay that efficient with a pop time that low in the post-season. I just don't think its a realistic expectation.

I'm certain I can find more plays where it wasn't a "quick pass" and Mahomes held the ball, because the protection held up, and then threw it short due to coverage.
