Hairston Claims He Deciphered Worthy - Knew When Chiefs We’re Running or Throwing

[ChevyVanMiller]

Interesting, the rookie claimed film study of Worthy’s body language were a tell as to what play the Chiefs were about to run.

 

 

Hairston could tell when Worthy was getting the ball or not based on his body language alone.

“Finding a difference in his posture and his effort for real — when he knows he’s not getting it, when it’s a run,” Hairston said. “So just applying what I saw from the film room and taking it out to the field.

 

“There are tells that everybody gives. It’s just about finding it.”

Maybe not a great idea to tell this to the world & give the Chiefs to correct the tell before we meet again in the playoffs.

The young man needs to learn that you don’t publicize those kinds of things

[BuffaloBaumer]

I’ll never understand why players would release that information. Why not wait until you play them again and use the same body language.

[Brand J]

First Things First was discussing this. Hairston and Bishop both spilled film study “tells” they found while scouting the Chiefs. Nick and everybody else said they should’ve sat on that information until after the season (I agree).

[billsherd]

Yea rookie being rookie.

[Richard Noggin]

He's young and confident and enthusiastic. He'll learn to keep it closer to the vest.

exactly.  Monumentally stupid.  You’d think this is something a coach or whoever would have told them at some point.  Don’t let your opponents know your tricks.  

[NickelCity]

Max...shhhh

[zow2]

Nick Wright brought this up on his show. Said Thanks Rook!  Can’t wait for the next game. I’m sure it will get back to McDermott who will remind the team.  I’ve seen more than a few Bills players dodge questions and mention game strategy. Most know not to talk about that stuff to the media.

[Slack_in_MA]

Yep. Rookie mistake.

[BuffaloBillyG]

Yeah. Agree he should have kept that to himself.

 

But I still gotta give him credit for putting in the work. That's encouraging for a young guy that missed a bunch of time. 

[Sojourner]

If the reporter is a Bills fan, shame on them for publishing this lol

Bigger shame for sharing secrets Max 

[julian]

Yeah enthusiastic rookie mistake, but it’s not like KC just discovered that other teams also watch film to gain every advantage possible.

 

[zow2]

Max should be benched for a half. Just a dumb thing to spout off in an interview.

[Buffalo716]

Everybody who saying why would he even say that and they'll adjust don't even realize that if he figured that out as a rookie watching tape the entire NFL already knew including the Chiefs

 

Don't act like he just blew anything off the top 

 

And lazy players will just give another tell.. worthy will drop that and just do another thing 

 

If anything this is the type of mind game that now their receiver is going to be thinking extra hard about all of that and not even be executing as much.. he literally had worthy blanketed most of the game now he's in his head 

 

This is mental warfare ... I prepare better than you

 

We are not talking about anquan boldin here lol or Larry Fitzgerald... Maxwell Harrison is a much better football player than Xavier Worthy 

 

 and this is basically telling him you're in for long days in Buffalo when you play me

Next game in 2026? Chiefs aren’t making the playoffs this year, Nicky! 🤭

As a former corner I know how they think and I know this is something that fans will take way bigger than what it is
