Even in the first years it likely would have been a lot more if it wasn't for his athleticism and escapability. The offensive talent on those teams was not good to say the least

Might see Fitz take his shirt off tho

One thing I've noticed is the actual push seems to mean less now - it's more about the OL getting the jump and diving low and creating the wedge. I think if they outlawed the "push" it wouldn't necessarily stop a team like Philly who has perfected the OL wedge technique and has a powerful person running the ball

Another way to look at it is Josh and Mahomes have avoided more sacks because of their athleticism and mobility. Have never understood why for Burrow everybody always says oh he gets sacked so much bc of bad OL, but there never seems to be any responsibility put on him for not being good at avoiding sacks. Josh was playing with poor OL and zero weapons his first years and no one was talking about how much he gets sacked, because he did things to avoid them

The interesting thing I've noticed is that Mahomes seems to be going back to trying to use his legs a lot more - reminiscent of him running around in his early years (after which he became much more of a distributor of the ball). I give him credit for trying to put the team on his back while he's missing some weapons, but I think him trying to do so much himself iis also causing the offense to be less reliable and efficient. Sure when he gets Rice and Worthy back things may change - but will be interesting to see how he plays as the season progresses and the offense will likely still not be what he has been used to (I do think that if he continues to 'challenge' tacklers on his way out of bounds he's going to start taking some serious hits)

He may be a good coordinator, X and O's guy, but definitely not a leader of men. All one has to do is watch the in season Hard Knocks to see how awkward and out of place he is as a 'leader' - would be comical if it wasn't so cringe. There's a reason why his word-salad-spewing, nerd/'quirky' persona was so against the typical NFL HC grain - because it doesn't work. I agree with your last sentiment - no one really knows how hard being a HC is, but sometimes it's easy to see when someone doesn't have what it takes

He's really going down a slippery slope IMO literally cutting guys for mistakes - trying to prove how he is 'no nonsense' and 'tough' So now are you going to cut every guy who makes a bad mistake - or only certain times/players, which will only show your inconsistency and unwillingness to follow through on your (ridiculous) initial premise, and lose all credibility I don't get why anyone thinks he'll be a good HC

Gonna be some good stories about how Al has never eaten a vegetable

And I remember back in the drought days an 0-2 start meant your season was over - so demoralizing

A cool 8 TDs should get him back on track for the season

His initial hysteria "Oh No Jim!", and I'm thinking he has a bloody nose? Then Nance "It could be a shoulder!" Wtf

Thought it was going to be "rather than go to NJ to watch the Jets"

Can Russell make the Chiefs 0-3 next week 😛

VICTORY FORMATION!

2 tush pushes to get 6 inches

Patrick thought he was throwing to worthy 😛

Dude from behind should have punched that out

Rooting for Den for hopefully Chiefs to be 2 games behind them and chargers after 2 wks - idiot kicker

Freaking Den kicker doink

Poor Trav

Suck it NFL

Its crazy hurts carried Jones on his back - 600lb squat indeed

Ot was clear if you let the replay run - ball is completely covering goal line and Hurts is laying on bodies with no part of his body down

Thats a TD!

Tush push time
