Josh is going to make his bones on making contested slants. That’s how he opens up the pace game for us even more. 1 on 1 he is going to win on a slant because of how big he is. He can box them out and flatten his route if he’s undercut.
But if they don’t give him release inside he should take the Go route and look for the ball. Hardman doesn’t run these routes out. If he feels like he’s not getting it he slows. Josh just has to show the staff he’s ready to run!
If he plays I think we see at least one “whoa thags different” play. [Reply]

I expect him to make a Sammy Watkins impact when healthy [Reply]

He's 6'-3" and 230...Hardman is 5-10 an 190.
CBs arent going to be able to muscle Gordon at the LOS...he probably has 30 lbs and 3" on nearly every #2 CB in the NFL.
PM said "it really doesn't matter if he's covered"..
You KNOW Mahomes has already gone through every catch he has made...getting a feel for his game.
This isn't your ordinary reclamation project...he's walking into system where he's the #3 target with the best QB in the world and 2 HOF receivers. He's never had that...he's essentially a complimentary offense piece.
If he pans out...this is going to be one gnarly offense. It already is...PMII was pressured on 12% of his passes...and he promptly threw for 5 TDs and didn't punt. [Reply]
They probably have 4 or 5 plays for him right now. He should attract lots of attention. If he can pull a safety away from Hill's side of the field for even a few seconds, it's big.
Bill's game is going to be tough. Every bit of help we can get from Gordon is big. [Reply]

The thing is they said he is already familiar with the concepts...from his days with Childless.
We'll see...it only takes one play to spring Hill.
Bills DC cant pretend KC is just rolling Hardman out...and JG will be a non-factor.

OH GREAT IDEA, THEN HE'LL JUST GET ADDICTED TO KETCHUP [Reply]
