00:00I understand there's no Rasheed Rice.

00:02I understand there's no Xavier Worthy.

00:05I understand they're going up against a good defense

00:07in that of the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:09Great defense.

00:10Great defense is right.

00:12But we're sat here again with Mahomes

00:15barely having 100 passing yards

00:18in the fourth quarter of this football game.

00:21And people will say, well, what about Hurts?

00:23He only had 101.

00:25But Jalen Hurts has Saquon Barkley behind him

00:28and is not considered the best quarterback in the world

00:32or one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

00:36I know Mahomes has a lot on his plate.

00:40But heavy is the crown.

00:43And Mahomes is supposed to be able to withstand this

00:49for it to look better.

00:50My point simply is, I get it.

00:53Kelsey drops a pass.

00:55It ends up an interception.

00:56Mahomes is the leading rusher.

00:58Now, again, just like he was against the Chargers

01:00and in the Super Bowl, they scored 17 points.

01:05At some point, this offense has to look better.

01:10And that's a question for Mahomes to ask or to answer,

01:14Andy Reid to answer.

01:15And little disgust fact, offensive coordinator,

01:21who they've been terrible since he showed up

01:23and replaced Eric Biennemi, Matt Nagy to answer.

01:26Matt Nagy's terrible.

01:27Matt Nagy.

01:27This team misses Eric Biennemi.

01:29Who's willing to say that?

01:30Hey, I said that to you in the middle, man, all last season.

01:34He's the running back coach at Chicago.

01:36Maybe those running backs running hard there.

01:38They literally have the worst running backs in football,

01:41so that's not a good look.

01:42DeAndre Swift and Roshan Johnson and the crew.

01:45But let me just say this.

01:47You're right about Pat Mahomes.

01:48He's lost his fastball in the sense of we haven't seen explosive plays.

01:52We haven't seen vertical plays.

01:54The thought process was we have a healthy worthy.

01:58We have Hollywood Brown, Rasheed Rice when he comes.

02:01Now we can spread it and throw it the way we had it for those years

02:04where we won three Super Bowls and his days at Texas Tech.

02:08Different offense.

02:10Pedestrian running backs.

02:11I don't like Pacheco.

02:13Kareem Hunt, good, not elite.

02:15I mean, that's the problem.

02:17That's what we're dealing with here, though.

02:18There's no rushing attack consistent.

02:21They don't take deep shots.

02:22Every throw is short to underneath routes.

02:24They want eight, nine-minute drives,

02:26and they don't want to score in a minute anymore.

02:28That is the problem.

02:29I agree with that.

02:30But it's a copycat league.

02:31All these coaches do the same thing.

02:33Let me say this.

02:34I know that it might sound like I'm being hard on Mahomes,

02:36but to me, again, we're not going to leave a Super Bowl rematch.

02:39You know what the problem is?

02:40Isaiah Pacheco.

02:41Cut it out.

02:41Cut it.

02:42It's not about Isaiah Pacheco.

02:43No, no, no.

02:44I didn't say that.

02:44No, no, no.

02:44I'm talking about people elsewhere.

02:46There's people elsewhere who are like,

02:48Mahomes was actually really good in that game.

02:50No, he wasn't.

02:51No, he wasn't.

02:52Again, we can't keep dropping the bar for this guy.

02:54I've seen really good Mahomes.

02:56I've seen best quarterback your eyes have seen Mahomes.

03:00That wasn't this.

03:01And I, they want to go down the field slowly.

03:05Andy Reid or Matt Nagy has to adjust.

03:09But they haven't.

03:10They can't come out, right?

03:11Yeah.

03:12First and 10.

03:14Meh.

03:14Throw.

03:15Incomplete.

03:16Nonsense.

03:17Second down run.

03:18It's third and nine.

03:19Win on aggregate.

03:20Give Mahomes multiple deep shots of possession.

03:25They don't do it.

03:25They haven't built a team like that either, though.

03:28Think about when they had.

03:29But that's.

03:30Hollywood Brown is just running drag routes.

03:32But that's the thing is running down the field.

03:34But that's the point.

03:35When we talk about offensive philosophy, if they're going to stack the box against the run.

03:39Yeah.

03:40Which a lot of teams do now, right?

03:41Yeah.

03:42And they're playing too deep.

03:43We hear this.

03:44Too deep.

03:44Okay.

03:45So then you flood a zone.

03:46You run the guy on the dig route.

03:48Sure.

03:48You run a guy on a post pattern.

03:49And you have an out and up or a fly pattern on the outside.

03:53And you run off the linebackers.

03:55So that way you can run later in these games.

03:58Why Andy Reid and all these offensive gurus are scared of too deep?

04:03Explain this.

04:03It's not like it's never existed.
