Gus Bradley has been running Cover 3 against us for years and in a Cover 3 scenario, a guy likely breaks open deep there. Bradley caught us off guard by running a ton of quarters/shell concepts and that was one of those times.
Early in the game like that, we just didn't expect the coverage looks we got and ended up stuck in the middle.
still should have dropped 34 if the players executed
i'll ride with andy and mahomes til the end bitch [Reply]

Sure, but that's kinda what Bradley does. Remember with the Raiders he'd show a shell and then have them come out of it. And we were dumbfounded by the idiocy of that decision. And it's SUPER easy to show 4 and then go into a 3; just have that SS jump an underneath route (and I really wonder if that's not what PM was expecting to happen).
We kinda banked on Bradley being foolishly dogmatic and suddenly he wasn't.
I'm ready to see Pacheco promoted to RB1. I've never seen a starting RB as slow as MEH. That plus his Stevie Wonder level of vision makes him unacceptable. [Reply]
I'll say this for the 100th time: CEH has no field vision. One of the worst I've ever seen. No jump cuts, no crossing back to an open hole, not following blockers downfield, no power.
I think Andy is stubborn as fuck since he was a #1 pick and feel like they have to use him. [Reply]
CEH is typical of what many successful college players face when they come to the NFL; they are no longer the fastest or strongest and they don't play on teams that are made up of players better than their competition. Accept that he is not going to be the featured back and move one.
It's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them. [Reply]

Yep. I also think that the Chiefs didn't get to fully evaluate him due to covid. At least I tell myself that rather than believe they just whiffed so badly with SOOOOO MANY other RB's were right there to draft. [Reply]

TBF he did have his best games against Alabama and other really good teams loaded with pros. I don't know how, but he did. [Reply]

I still feel like CEH knocked Trevon Diggs into the 2nd round.
He did that kid dirty.
He just isn't the same player he was at LSU. I don't know if the speed of the game has rocked his confidence to the point that he's simply stuck in between every snap.
It's...strange. He simply doesn't show any of the raw skills he showed at LSU. This isn't an issue of his college skills translating to the pros, IMO. It's an issue of his college skills just evaporating altogether.
