Pickens landed in a great spot. With how PIT loves to run the ball he's not going to nearly as many two high safety looks like he would in KC. Skyy is the right fit for what we're doing. We have MVS to keep defenses honest. [Reply]
Seth Keysor: Skyy Moore vs the Bears; What did the Chiefs' rookie receiver show beyond the box score?
Looking at every route Moore ran and examining his already-present skillset, as well as what he still needs to prove moving forward.
Spoiler!
Football isn’t just near. It’s here. Preseason Week 1 is in the books, and we finally (FINALLY) have kicked off the 2022 season.
Like we talked about last week, preseason games don’t give us a great deal of information about the team overall (outside of observations as to who is getting snaps and when). However, they do provide us with plenty of things to watch on individual players and how they handle their matchups/assignments. With that in mind, I went into the game with multiple players I was very interested in watching, to see what traits they would show in their first action as a pro or (in some cases) how veterans look in a new system or after some physical development.
Number 1 on that list? Skyy Moore. Let’s talk about him today.
We were always going to talk about Moore following Week 1 of the preseason. Not only is Moore a 2nd round pick, but he’s flashed an intriguing skillset in college (as well as training camp) that makes fans dream of an immediate impact as a pro.
Moore was able to grab a little bit of hype during and after Saturday’s game, primarily due to this impressive toe drag swag of a catch in the 2nd half.
This type of play is what grabs peoples’ attention during preseason, and I definitely understand why. It is a tremendous catch by Moore, in which he demonstrates great body control and awareness to gather the ball in while dragging his feet to ensure the yardage counts. It’s a play that displays the traits that have Chiefs fans salivating over Moore’s potential.
Of course, one great play doth not a great performance make. What matters is what a player shows snap in and snap out (you’re going to hear me say that about a hundred million more times here, because it cannot be emphasized enough). Great catches are important, but what did Moore show in terms of his ability to create separation? How did he handle contact? One of his best projected traits is his ability to get separation at the line and on breaks, and the only way we can track that is to look at every snap and see how it went.
So that’s exactly what I did, looking at every route Moore ran whether he got the throw or not. We’re going to be talking about releases a lot today, because, well…
Let’s talk Moore’s film from Saturday. There’s a lot to like there as well as some areas he’ll need to clean up moving forward.

I'm pretty certain the dude is on meth, so if you're into losing your teeth, weight, and sanity, then I say go ahead and smoke a bowl with the nut job. [Reply]

He's going to be able to run a full route tree like Tyreek, even if he's not as fast.
You don't need a ton of separation to win deep, just a step or two, and he's a perfect example of that.
Jaylen Watson said that Skyy Moore has been the toughest WR to guard at camp.
Dude is going to cook these #3 corners that defenses put on him :-) [Reply]

Separation is always created in the first 5 yards off the LOS.
Kelce, JuJu, & Skye going to be a tough trio to guard + 3 speed guys to mix in with MVS, Hardman, & Watson. I'm getting pumped for this seasons offense! [Reply]

I can't remember who said that. Maybe me.
It might be you, because that's wrong. Separation can also occur at the top of the route. See Hardman running by McDuffie at camp earlier today. [Reply]

If you can't get off the jam and create some separation early, it's tough late. [Reply]

They're different kind of guys.
Pickens would've been a fit too. Dude has "star" written all over him. Large catch radius, athletic with an attitude. I love those types of receivers. The highlights that he and Mahomes would put together would be insane.
I was PISSED when they passed on him. Had to smoke a bowl before i posted on CP.
Felt like it was a mistake.
Whatever.
I'm trying to get over it.
Nor am i going to hold anything against Moore over it.
But gaaah it stings. Like when the Chiefs kept passing on DK.
