Hebert19 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 While Sammy isn't the primary option in KC offense he is a huge part of opening things up for that team. After he left the game yesterday KC stalled out as they were able to key in on kelce and hill more. Something to monitor for next week...if he isn't available it could be big for our chances. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammy's for the fleet-of-foot take more than a week. Kelce and Hill become a bit easier to defend without Sammy's underneath and crossing routes to defend.

H2o Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 They still have a good group of offensive weapons with Hardman, Robinson, and CEH to go along with Kelce/Hill. It will be another game where stopping the run is key as not to let lanes open up with the play action game. Really hoping Milano is good to go by next Monday.

Seemed to me something was up with Hardman too. If I remember correctly, they took him off of the punt/ko return duties. Am I remembering that correctly?

This has been shown ad nauseum to be irrelevant. Play action works regardless of whether a team is running the ball effectively. This is one falsehood that just needs to die a quick death.

This is true, but I'm saying they still have an overall good group of skill player. It's not one to be dismissed just because they are likely to be without Watkins, especially if we are without Tre for any reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they are gashing us with the run you don't think play-action draws defenders closer to the LOS, even if it's just a half step before they try to recover in their drops? Okay.

Rc2catch Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I don’t think Sammy healthy wins that game or changes much for them yesterday. It was osemele going down. He’s been their best lineman all year and as soon as he went down Vegas starting busting through right up the gut with instant pressure making Mahomes uncomfortable and forcing him out. Give him time and Mahomes can make any of those guys major weapons. It’s not a downplay on Sammy. He’s made plays for them. But Osemele was the key to that game changing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's learned a lot since then and while he isn't the super star he was supposed to be, he's a good NFL player and now has the veteran savvy that Hardman and Robinson don't have at this point.

This is completely true. Most Bills fans view of Sammy is jaded because Whaley traded up and drafted him at 4. It hurts even more considering Mack, Evans and OBJ went after Sammy. That isn’t Watkins fault though and he has been pretty good in KC. He gets a huge share of the targets 5-10 targets per game. Losing him is a big loss. He will never be the pure stud WR that is expected when drafting one at 4th overall, but he’s a solid pass catcher and great option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After having considered this for many years, I do believe it is a real thing. Exactly what causes it isn't clear and factors might vary from individual to individual, but some people have genetics that can stand up to the torture of an NFL season and others do not.
