This tracks. Hill once said Mahomes is a different dude — on a Tuesday during a bad stretch he called the whole offense in, looked them in the eyes, and lit them up one by one. Told Hill “you think you’re so fast but you can’t catch the ball,” then went down the line. Hill said that moment made him respect him more and it flipped the season. Reid’s the same way. When those two speak, you listen.
You’ve got Mahomes who worked his ass off to be ready for Game 1 and show up for his guys. Even the Skip Bayless types end up giving him respect. Then you’ve got Simmons, a first-rounder who left midseason last year for a personal matter, has barely played, and now gets told by both Reid and Mahomes to get out of the meeting and go get treatment after pushing back with his feet up. He apologized later, but if Reid and Mahomes are the ones kicking you out of the room, it’s not nothing. It’s a problem.
Before he was placed on IR, #Chiefs LT Josh Simmons was told to leave a team meeting by coach Andy Reid and QB Patrick Mahomes.
