The day after

[azchief21 5,278]

Our CBs challenge every receiver and come up for run support. I underestimated Toney....unusual skills. Feed Pacheco. Again, feed Pacheco. Glad Andy came back to him after the fumble.  Saunders is a beast. O Line- 0 sacks 5.7 yds/carry. Thornhill is off somehow. We know about Bolton & Gay, Chenal is improving by the week. Dunlap is stepping it up for much needed pass rush. Reid played better. WR position is the definition of next man up. Kelce was Kelce and Mahomes is the best. If Mahomes were a Bill yesterday, they would have beat the Vikings 2 or 3 times.

It's great sitting in the #1 seed position. Chiefs just gotta take care of business. Mahomes' is clearly the MVP of the league so far this year. I got no complaints.

Don’t forget Saunders. Dudes been a stud.

We can see how carefully you read AZ21's post.  🙂

But you're right.  Saunders in lighting it up and unlike Nnadi, he can run.  Nnadi has regressed this season and the Chiefs miss Wharton.

I think KC was not able to use this against Tenn because they did not have 3 TE available. I think they did use this against SF.

 

Throwing out of heavy

One of the aspects of Kansas City’s gameplan against the Jaguars was their use of heavy personnel in the passing game. Heading into Sunday’s contest, Patrick Mahomes was fourth in the league with 19 passing attempts out of 13 offensive personnel — one wide receiver, one running back, and three tight ends — according to charting data from Sports Info Solutions.

On those 19 attempts, Mahomes has completed 14 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown, without an interception. His NFL Passer Rating of 113.7 prior to Sunday on such attempts ranked him second, behind only Jared Goff.

The benefit of throwing out of heavier personnel packages is that in many cases, you get heavier defensive groupings to target in the passing game. Throwing against linebackers is often a more advantageous proposition than throwing against safeties and cornerbacks.

When you add in the fact that Kansas City has Travis Kelce among those tight ends on the field, it becomes even more of a win-win.

Late in the first quarter, the Chiefs did exactly that. On a 1st and 10 play, they line up with Mahomes in the shotgun, and three tight ends to the right side of the field in a bunch. Kelce is the point man in this tight bunch look, with Noah Gray inside of him, and Jody Fortson just outside of him

Getting Kadarius Toney involved

After he fell out of favor in New York, the Chiefs traded for wide receiver Kadarius Toney. The former first-round pick showed incredible change-of-direction skills during his time with the Florida Gators, and then later at the Senior Bowl. But he could never live up to that first-round billing with the New York Giants, and Kansas City made a move for him prior to the deadline.

Sunday’s game against the Jaguars illustrated just how Reid and company might get him involved in the passing game down the stretch.

Toney’s first catch of the afternoon went for a touchdown, but as you’ll see, he was really used as bait for the defense. However, Mahomes did a great job of working through his reads and finding Toney late in the down:

Toney aligns on the left side of the field, and comes in motion right before the snap. This is an example of “motion for impact,” as the Chiefs are trying to get the Jaguars to move and adjust right as the play begins.

Mahomes is looking to the left, to read out a spacing concept between JuJu Smith-Schuster and Pacheco out of the backfield. With that covered, he brings his eyes to the middle of the field, looking for Justin Watson who is running an over route.

That is covered too, which causes Mahomes to get deep in the progressions. The quarterback drops his arm angle and flips his eyes to Toney in the right flat, who is wide open. The receiver hops along the sideline and into the end zone for six.

https://www.sbnation.com/2022/11/14/23457816/andy-reid-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-toney-jaguars-nfl?_gl=1*ek13yv*  It was Toney’s first NFL touchdown.

After the game, Mahomes indicated that Toney was the fifth read on the play, and admitted that Toney had to get his attention. “He was kind of the distraction guy,” Mahomes said after the game. As Mahomes worked through his reads, he heard someone trying to draw his attention on the right. “‘Who’s yelling at me over there?’” Mahomes recalled thinking before turning and seeing Toney all alone near the sideline.

Toney’s catch-and-run in the second quarter offers a prime example of why many loved him coming out of Florida. The design is simple, as Toney comes across the formation on the slide route, releasing to the flat. Mahomes carries out a run fake and rolls in his direction, and simply flips him the football.

Not only that, but Nnadi has sure regressed this season.

Doesn't regressed mean he gressed for the second time?

Agree with the original post, good points. Kadarious Toney looks legit. Your only negative in thornhill i also agree with, he has been bad by any means, but he is an easy candidate to not give a 2nd contract to, hasn’t been the same guy since the knee injury.
