I don't know for sure but I follow Hardman on instagram and I really didn't like seeing him post videos in crowded places like a barbershop without a mask while he was on the fucking Covid list.

Pringle runs a 4.46, Robinson's a 4.6
I haven't seen Pringle have the dropsies or do any of the dumb shit Robinson does.
Why isn't Pringle moving ahead of Robinson on the depth chart? He seems like the same guy but better.
You do know that Robinson made this team as a core special teamer who has been a gunner, a gunner cover, kick coverage, kick returns and is the best blocking wide receiver the Chiefs have had for screens and running plays.
Pringle has contributed on special teams also, but Robinson is a grown man football player who improved every year as a receiver. You have to have guys like that to be a winning football team.
He had a couple bad plays Sunday, but he has put about a thousand good plays in the bank since he has been here. [Reply]

Is there a reason for the condescension?
Yes I'm quite aware of all that.
I think Pringle has been impressive in limited snaps, and I'd like to see him get more playing time.

He singlehandedly killed one drive by running backwards and grabbing a face mask and took away 7 on another by not running the correct route late in the half.
Then he tries to be a hero not fair catching a punt and runs backwards again giving us an opportunity to hold someone and start deep in our own end.
If not for the late catch to extend a drive we may have been better off playing 10 on 11.
We may win by 18 if Watkins wasn’t being Watkins.
Looked like they were both at fault on that one. There is alot of free lancing in our offense based on coverages and Robinson broke the right way (the guy even fell down but got back up to int it). If it was a route that wasn't supposed to be manipulated on the coverage then maybe yeah. Seems like Mahomes was telling Robinson to come back for the ball, but that would mean he was coming back from the endzone.
Would be interested in their post game to see if they talked about the miscommunication there. [Reply]
Frustrating receiver because he's obviously talented enough to be our 4th/5th option, seems to win his routes and has come up with some big plays. The mistakes he makes are mental- ran backwards seemingly every time he caught a pass yesterday trying to create yards after catch. Even that weird 3rd and 2 play when he Robinson was way past the first down yardage, he goes to extend the ball even though the first down is secured. Was lucky that it was ruled a catch and then fumble out of bounds but again it's an unnecessary risk.
Someone has to sit Robinson down and address the situational awareness. If you have to try and make a play on 3rd/4th down then I'm all for trying to extend the play and force the defenders to make a tackle but continuously Robinson has lost yardage trying to make unnecessary plays and for god sake be aware of the 1st down marker.

On the pick, the guy covering him actually fell down. If Patrick throws that pass to the inside instead of the outside, it's probably a TD. For whatever reason, Patrick thought Robinson was going outside. Just a communication breakdown. Too bad it was on the three yard line. [Reply]
