The difficulty is that at today's salaries if you sign too many elete players, there is only chump change left so you wind up having a bunch of scrubs on the field with your elites.
This is why teams shoot for the moon while their core of elites are on team-friendly rookie contracts; see for example the Rams and Lions.
Decades ago the Bills' kicker Booth Lustig missed a kick tht cost Buffalo the game. later a carload of Bills fans spotted Lustig on the sidewalk. They piled out of the car and beat him up.
The players are professionals. It's the coaches job to formulate a game plan, install it, call plays, etc. The coaches are not psychologists.
It's shouldn't be the coaches' job to "get them up" for a game. I think at duty ends with college ball.
Josh was excellent today.
In fairness to Mahomes, our pass rush was in his face all game. I would have said that our rush spread his cheeks today but Mahomes already said that.
