This guy was open all night. Protection issues prevented him from going off like Watkins in Week 1.
In particular, this guy was open for a deep bomb in one of these, with great separation.
I think we got a Watkins replacement.
Chiefs fans may want some good news this week, so let's talk Byron Pringle. Stepping into Watkins' role on short notice, he saw the 2nd most snaps at WR and looked the best

I could see a team that’s desperate for a #1 WR and has a ton of money trading for him. Don’t think it will be a 2nd. More like a 4th. [Reply]

Which turned out as one expects.
Dude needs to move down the depth chart. He's at best KC's 3rd best RB right now. Running game was better with Darrel Williams and McCoy.
Running game was better before the Oline gave them the AIDS. [Reply]

When I was at the game it didn't really look like anyone was open the entire game. But he seems to be able to improvise when the play breaks down and run better routes than Hardman. [Reply]
It looked like he got shot on that third and long play.
Literally one yard from the first down, Odum touches him, and he just collapses to the ground. That was some of the worst situational football I’ve seen in my life. He had a great game besides that, but damn was that play costly. [Reply]

That's where I'm at too. And Hardman is making too many mistakes right now for me to trust him. I think he needs another year to learn. I wouldnt mind Hardman getting bumped down to a gadget option which puts Robinson and Pringle splitting snaps based on situational need. [Reply]
I must admit, B. Pringle wasn't on my radar until last week after that great catch around the 5-yd line.
And he showed me a little more against the Colts. He's a decently big body (6' 1", 205 lbs.), with what looks like good hands and more than a little toughness about him after he catches the ball. What's not to like?
I will say though, he needs to figure out when to go down. If he keeps taking some of those bigger hits, he's going to get injured. Save the hero stuff for when it's really necessary. That way he can play for us in the post-season. [Reply]
