How Chiefs’ offense has taken strides to improve in offseason | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AS NO TEAM HAS HAD IN 20 YEARS TO BECOME THE FIRST TEAM EVER TO WIN 3 STRAIGHT SUPER BOWLS SHIREEN. AND THEY'VE HAD A WEIRD OFF SEASON, BUT IF ANY TEAM CAN PUT THAT IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND MOVE FORWARD AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY NEED TO FIGURE OUT AND GET BETTER ON THE FLY AND BE THERE WHEN THE DUST SETTLES IN THE CONFETTI FALLS, IT'S KANSAS CITY CHIEFS. I SAID THIS LAST FEW YEARS CHIEFS VERSUS THE FIELD. GIVE ME THE CHIEFS EVERY DAY. WELL, THIS IS INTERESTING TOO MIKE BECAUSE WHAT PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT TOM BRADY IS HE WON 3 SUPER BOWLS VERY QUICKLY 2001 IN HIS FIRST YEAR AS A FULL-TIME STARTER, OR WE WOULDN'T EVEN FULL-TIME STARTER THEN 2003 2004. SO WHEN THOSE 3 TITLES RIGHT AWAY AND THEN IT WAS 8 YEARS UNTIL HE GOT HIS FOURTH TITLE. SO HE HAD THAT LONG GAP BETWEEN THE THIRD AND THE FOURTH SO THIS COULD SEPARATE PATRICK MAHOMES IF HE'S ABLE TO GET THAT NEXT CHAMPIONSHIP, UH WITHIN THE NEXT 8 YEARS. HE'S ON A FASTER TRACK THAN WHAT TOM BRADY WAS NOW WE ALL KNOW HE HAS TO PLAY A LONG TIME TO DO WHAT TOM BRADY DID BUT I I JUST THINK THAT WILL PUT HIM THAT WILL SEPARATE HIM A LITTLE BIT AND PUT HIM ON A FASTER TRACK OBVIOUSLY TOWARD DOING WHAT TOM BRADY DID OR TOPPING WHAT TOM BRADY DID AND SOMETHING THAT WE NEVER THOUGHT THAT THAT IN. ANY ANYBODY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO AND HE HE'S DOING THAT AND HE'S SPECIAL AND HE'S GOING TO HAVE THE THE CHIEFS COMPETING NO MATTER WHO THEY PUT AROUND HIM BECAUSE HE'S PATRICK MAHOMES. THEY LOSE TYREEK HILL AND MIKE I THOUGHT 2022 I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE CHIEFS MAKING THE PLAYOFFS. I WAS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHO HE'S THROWING THE BALL TO OTHER THAN TRAVIS KELCE. HE'S GOT NOBODY ELSE AND WHAT DO THEY DO? THEY GO WIN THE SUPER BOWL AND THEN THEY COME BACK AND THE RECEIVING CORE IS EVEN WORSE LAST YEAR. AND WHAT DO THEY DO? THEY WIN THE SUPER BOWL SO I DON'T CARE WHO YOU PUT AROUND. THIS GUY WHO YOU GIVE HIM HIS WEAPONS. HE'S GOING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO TO HAVE THE CHIEFS AND CONTENTION. I'M NOT SAYING YEAR, BUT HE'S GOING TO HAVE THEM CONTENTION EVERY SINGLE YEAR AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KNOCK OFF THE CHIEFS. IN THE AFC TO GET TO THE SUPER BOWL THE SUPER BOWL EVERY SINGLE YEAR FROM NOW ON AS LONG AS PATRICK MAHOMES IS HEALTHY IS GOING TO GO THROUGH KANSAS CITY, AND YOU'VE GOT TO KNOCK OFF KANSAS CITY TO GET THERE. THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT'S BEEN AND I THINK THAT'S HOW IT'S GOING TO BE FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. 1 OF THE REASONS THEY HAVE TOLERATED THE VARIOUS MISADVENTURES OF RASHI RICE THIS OFF SEASON AS THEY SEE HIM THEY THINK HE PICKED UP THE OFFENSE EVEN FASTER THAN TYREEK HILL DID IT IS NOT AN EASY OFFENSE TO LEARN. HE HAD NEARLY A THOUSAND RECEIVING YARDS LAST YEAR AS A ROOKIE GOT BETTER IN THE POSTSEASON. THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE TOLERATED AND THEY THINK THAT IF THEY KEEP HIM IN KANSAS CITY AWAY FROM SOME OF THE INFLUENCES IN DALLAS, THEY'LL SPEAK TO HIS BETTER ANGELS AND HE'LL STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. BUT AGAIN IF HE WASN'T VERY GOOD IF THEY DIDN'T THINK HE WAS VERY GOOD. HE'D BEEN GONE BY NOW THE 8TH FELONY. CHARGES WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR HIM TO BE GONE. SO HE'S A KEY PART OF IT. KELSEY'S STILL THERE. THEY AND THEY HAVE PATRICK MAHOMES. THAT'S THE KEY AND THE MOST IMPRESSIVE FACT THAT I HEARD THIS YEAR ABOUT PATRICK MAHOMES, AND I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT THIS. IT'S HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT. THE FLOOR FOR PATRICK MAHOMES IN 6 YEARS AS A STARTER. IS LOSING THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN OVERTIME. THAT'S THE FLOOR. THAT'S HIS WORST PERFORMANCE. IN 6 YEARS IT HAPPENED TWICE LOSING AT HOME THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN OVERTIME. EVERY OTHER YEAR DID BETTER THAN THAT, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. HERE. HE IS ON THE CHIEFS OFFENSE FROM 2023 SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO 2022. OFFENSIVELY, OBVIOUSLY, WE FEEL LIKE WE DIDN'T PLAY OUR BEST LAST YEAR AND EVEN THOUGH WE WON, UM, WE WE KNEW WE HAD A LOT OF PLACES TO IMPROVE AND I SAW I THINK GUYS HAD THAT MENTALITY COMING IN OTAS AND MINI CAMP AND UM, THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK HAS GOTTEN THE BEST OUT OF EVERYBODY. IS THAT EVERY SINGLE DAY. I MEAN Y'ALL HEAR IT. I MEAN WE'RE WE'RE TALKING TRASH, BUT IT'S IN A GOOD WAY AND THEN WE GO OFF AND WE TALK ABOUT IT AFTER AFTER PRACTICE AND WHAT WE CAN DO BETTER. I THINK IT'S BEEN COOL THAT WE'VE BEEN WE'VE BEEN TRYING LIKE COUNTRIES BACK TO MY OLD DAYS. HE'S FORCING ME TO PUSH THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD IF I DON'T EAT THOSE LITTLE LITTLE JABS AT ME LIKE OH YOU WANT TO THROW THE CHECK DOWN HERE AND I'M LIKE, I'M JUST I'M JUST LIKE I'M I'M I GOT YOU COACH WE'RE GOING TO PUSH IT AND SO IT'S BEEN FUN. IT'S BEEN A GREAT CAMP AND UM, LIKE I SAID, I LOVE THE COMPETING. I THINK THAT'S BEEN THE BIGGEST THING IS COMPETING BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL HAS BEEN AWESOME. YEAH, SEE THEY'VE BEEN TRYING DOWN. IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE THEY WANT TO OPEN IT UP A LITTLE BIT MORE NOW 1 OF THE REASONS THEY WERE FINED TO MOVE ON FROM TYREEK HILL 1 OF THE PROBLEMS. I THINK WAS MAHOMES IS HOLDING ON THE BALL TOO LONG WAITING FOR HIM TO COME OPEN TRYING TO GET THE BALL DOWN. THE FIELD HAVE THE BIG SPECTACULAR PLAY AND WASN'T TAKING THE STUFF UNDERNEATH NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS HIM TO GET BACK TO GET IN THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD TO RASHI RICE TO HOLLYWOOD BROWN GUYS WHO CAN STRETCH THE FIELD MAKE IT EASIER TO MOVE THE BALL UNDERNEATH BECAUSE THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE OFFENSE WASN'T AS EFFECTIVE LAST YEAR AS IT HAD BEEN THEY FIGURED IT OUT. THEY HAD TO GO ON THE ROAD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE POSTSEASON. THEY HAD TO KNOCK OFF THE BILLS IN BUFFALO IN A GAME THAT COULD HAVE GONE EITHER WAY THE RAVENS IN BALTIMORE GAME THAT COULD HAVE GONE EITHER WAY SUPER BOWL WIN AGAIN A GAME THAT COULD HAVE GONE EITHER WAY 1 OF THESE YEARS AND I THINK THAT'S 1 OF THE REASONS WHY IT'S HARD TO GET TIRED OF THE CHIEFS EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE WON 3 SUPER BOWLS. THEY ALWAYS DO IT THE HARD WAY AND THEY ALWAYS CREATE THE KIND OF LIKE I SAID THIS BEFORE YOU GO TO AN INDIANA JONES MOVIE YOU GO TO A SUPERHERO MOVIE. YOU KNOW, THAT BATMAN AIN'T GETTING KILLED. BUT YOU WANT BATMAN TO BE IN PERIL. YOU DON'T WANT BATMAN TO JUST KICK THE CRAP OUT OF EVERYBODY. YOU WANT BATMAN YOU WANT TO THINK BATMAN'S GOING TO DIE, EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW, HE'S NOT THAT'S KIND OF HOW IT IS WITH THE CHIEFS. YOU WANT TO THINK THAT MAHOMES IS GOING TO FINALLY GET HIS EVEN THOUGH, YOU KNOW AT THE END OF THE DAY HE'S GOING TO TEAR YOUR HEART OUT AND SHOW IT TO YOU. YEAH, MIKE HIS FIRST YEAR AS A STARTER. A HIGH 75 THE 20 YARDS OR MORE IT'S 36 OF 88 ON THROWS THAT TRAVELED AT LEAST 20 YARDS THROUGH THE AIR. HE HASN'T BEEN AS SUCCESSFUL THE LAST 2 YEARS AND I THINK IT'S BECAUSE THEY LACK SPEED AT THE POSITION AND HE COULDN'T TRUST THE GUYS. WE ALL REMEMBER THE MV MVS. GOT LOOSE, UH OVER THE MIDDLE AND AND DROPPED THE BALL. SO THERE WERE SO MANY DROPS BY THOSE RECEIVERS THAT HE JUST COULDN'T TRUST THEM. AND SO THE CHECK DOWN DOWN SOMETIMES WHERE THE YARDS THAT THEY HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO MOVE THE CHAINS AND GET THE TEAM TO THE END ZONE BUT NOW WITH HOLLYWOOD BROWN WITH XAVIER WORTHY WHO'S THE FASTEST AT THE COMBINE EVER IN THE AGE WHEN IT'S ELECTRONIC TIMING I AM WITH RASHI RICE IF HOWEVER MANY GAMES HE'S GOING TO PLAY. YOU KNOW, I FIGURE HE'S GOING TO BE SUSPENDED AT SOME POINT FOR SOME AMOUNT OF GAMES. BUT IF YOU HAVE THOSE 3 GUYS YOU HAVE SPEED BACK IN YOUR OFFENSE YOU HAVE SEPARATION. SO I DO THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE BIG PLAYS COME BACK INTO THE CHIEFS OFFENSE THAT KIND OF HAVE BEEN MISSING OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING TO WATCH. AND AND IT'S JUST MORE WORRIED FOR DEFENSIVE COORDINATORS AGAINST HE HADN'T HAD THEY HAVEN'T HAD THE LAST 2 YEARS WITH TYREEK HILL GONE. I JUST THINK THIS IS THE BEST RECEIVING CORPS. HE'S HAD SINCE TYREEK HILL LEFT. I FORGOT ALL ABOUT XAVIER WORTHY FASTEST GUY EVER AT THE SCOUTING COMBINE WHO JUMPS INTO THAT OFFENSE AND WITH RASHI RICE. I SAW SOMEONE REPORT SEVERAL WEEKS BACK THAT HE'S NOT LIKELY TO BE WITH THE TEAM WEEK 1 THAT'S I MEAN, HE'S EITHER GOING TO BE ON THE COMMISSIONER'S EXEMPT LIST, OR HE'S GOING TO BE SUSPENDED AND HE'LL BE SUSPENDED IF HE PLEADS GUILTY AND THEN THE LEAGUE DROPS THE GAVL ON. A PERSONAL CONDUCT POLICY UNPAID SUSPENSION SO HE WON'T BE THERE EITHER WAY WHEN WE GO TO KANSAS CITY WEEK 1 I'LL BE STUNNED BEYOND STUNNED IF HE'S AVAILABLE TO PLAY THAT NIGHT BECAUSE HE'S GOT THE 8 FELONY CHARGES AND THE WHOLE IDEA OF THE COMMISSIONER'S EXEMPT LIST IS 25 MILLION PEOPLE WATCHING THE CHIEFS AND THE RAVENS TO START THE SEASON. YOU DON'T WANT MIKE TIRICO AND CRIS COLLINSWORTH WE WOULD HAVE TO DO TO POINT OUT THAT RASHI RICE IS FACING 8 FELONY CHARGES FROM A STREET RACING INCIDENT. HELL, THEY MAY HAVE TO THEY MAY HAVE TO PLAY THE VIDEO IF RICE IS PLAYING AND WE'VE SEEN THAT VIDEO TIME AND AGAIN, ON THIS PROGRAM IT IS UH, UNSETTLING AT A MINIMUM TO SEE THOSE CARS WEAVING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC IN EXCESS OF 100 MILES AN HOUR SO HE WON'T BE THERE. I'LL BE I'LL BE STUNNED. YOU KNOW, I I I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A BROAD PROCLAMATION BECAUSE WHO THE HELL KNOWS WHO THE HELL KNOWS. I'VE BEEN YEAH, IT WAS STUNNED YESTERDAY. SO YEAH, UH, BUT BUT BUT PRECEDENT IF PRECEDENT MEANS ANYTHING AND WE KNOW IT DOESN'T PRECEDENT TELLS US HE WON'T BE THERE COME WEEK 1.
