Chiefs fans are ready to declare Harrison Butker finished, but at 31, is he really cooked, or is there a fixable problem behind his struggles? @scottloringkc asks some tough questions: https://t.co/nYBgYVDTmm
Even after the dominant win over the Jets, there are still a few Chiefs who need to figure things out before traveling to Atlanta in Week 10 (via @SportsGuyShawnO) https://t.co/jY2GYLbJC2
My 2 cents on Downs:
If Downs can show that he can be a reliable route runner that is where Mahomes expects him to be and creates separation in the process, Mahomes will insist he's re-signed and this move will be a huge longterm win.
Here are all 11 of Down's targets against the Texans earlier this season
Biggest takeaways:
Very twitchy
Average long speed
Great COD
Tends to round off his routes frequently
Very good field awareness
YAC monster
Wouldn't hate a trade to KC, but I have no idea how you get him reps in this offense without taking them away from Rice/Worthy (not a bad thing, to be clear)
Josh Downs going from the Colts to the Chiefs is like a movie.
Narrator: "Josh Downs, who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side."
Hallelujah!!! A wide receiver who can actually separate. Thank you, Brett Veach! Didnโt even cough up a 3rd and if he fits in you re-sign since Josh Downs will want to stay with Pat. Well done.
