You really hope these receiver guys can figure this out moving forward. Surely it can't be as bad as what we saw last night. |

Nichols Law of Catchers Defense is one of them - any catcher that can't hit gets a reputation for being a strong defensive catcher even if, like Tony Cruz, they can't actually play defense for shit either. Or "I'm not book smart but I'm street smart..." Oh really? You mean by any conventional method of measuring intelligence you are actually kinda dumb but in this really nebulous manner that only you can define you're actually brilliant? Interesting how that works out... And finally, the infamous "Frank Clark sets the edge" and it's stupid cousin "Frank Clark's just doing what he's asked in the defense...". Anytime someone's just objectively bad at something that's easily quantifiable or measurable, that person's defenders rush to come up with some nebulous metric whereby they are obviously great so as to justify their defense if that person. So when Skyy Moore is struggling to make contested catches or beat guys in man and when he doesn't demonstrate plus deep speed, consistent route running or even a versatile route tree it becomes "Well he can beat the zone"... It's just a thing people said to defend the guy when there wasn't something else concrete to say because all the concrete defenses are pretty easily dismissed. Skyy Moore has never demonstrated any more ability to find holes in the zone than he has to beat man coverage or reach items on high shelves at the grocery store. He's never shown anything terribly useful at the NFL level. Time will tell if that continues to be the case but the way this staff has spoken of and treated Rashee Rice, and the way Mahomes has been willing to utilize him - when contrasted with Moore - says a LOT about what they're seeing when we aren't around. And it ain't great.

And then his teammates fully and finally ****ed a goat to undo any forward momentum Mahomes was building. Those last two drives were just staggeringly inept around PM as PM was starting to look more like the Death Star version of himself. It SHOULD'VE been one of those Elway games where Mahomes was just off enough to make sure he needed a 4th quarter comeback and found that extra gear in the 4th to get it done. But alas, his teammates just puked all over their shoes. It was rough.

At this rate Detox and I will be the ones DEFENDING him in 3 weeks... I don't really see him much differently than I've ever seen him - someone with a TON of learning to do who can develop into a decent 3rd option in a passing game someday. But for all the fire we took as 'haters' last year, he was further away from contributing than even Detox and I expected. So it's possible that what I hoped we'd see in year 2 may not come until year 3. And to be honest, in a perfect world, we will have pretty much layered the guy by then. I don't 'hate' the guy, but he just has to be so damn precise to be effective and thus far he's demonstrated that he's anything but.

Isn't it great that after this year we'll finally get to see CEH stop getting carries........only to be replaced by the WR version of CEH Skyy Moore.
