I wanna see, I guess, the expansion of Kansas City's offense.
Advertisement
You're gonna get Rasheed Rice back.
He lost Joe Dooney though, so we'll see like how Kingsley Sumataya plays that left guard.
I don't know, man.
He was really bad when he played last year.
I think if you can just get Rasheed Rice back.
And Xavier Worthy takes that next step, you can at least get back to playing some form of like explosive offense because I think, you know, even with, with someone as good as Mahomes as your quarterback, you don't want to be living how they were last year.
Maybe they thought Xavier Worthy was gonna be a little bit more ready as like a real wide receiver threat.
If you're gonna sign up for another 17 games of what they went through last year.

Uh, I don't know if they would get back to the Super Bowl, which is, that's the bar for this team.
Kind of led to Andy Reid's worst tendencies, which is going full blown Mickey Mouse offense, Full blown, I mean, old school, late 90s West Coast with his, you know, the dancing and the red zone stuff, like.
This is the frustrations with Andy Reid for a long time was what we saw last year.
This was, this is what people used to say about the Eagles offenses in the os.
Like, I remember as a kid, and then now I saw it last year and I'm like.
Where's Freddie Mitchell at?
I remember this offense.
It's like, where's where's another 4 yard swinger out?
Advertisement
Uh, like I remember these offenses, so it's like, let's get back to 2018.
I know 2018 is just never gonna happen again.
I mean, obviously, but like let's get back to that like her down, block it up and chuck.
Man, I would just feel so better, so much better about this, uh, offense if they just had like one true ex-receiver, you know, like one guy who could win against pressman coverage, like, throw him a bound, like, just handle the boundary stuff because all of these guys are players that take some level of role catering.

Pittsburgh Steelers' Rookie QB Will Howard Earns Comparisons to Super Bowl Champion Jalen Hurts
Pittsburgh Steelers' Rookie QB Will Howard Earns Comparisons to Super Bowl Champion Jalen Hurts originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers don't have a final answer on who's playing quarterback next season, but if it comes down to rookie Will Howard, some feel like the team is in great hands. Advertisement The Steelers are still playing the long waiting game with free agent veteran Aaron Rodgers, who has yet to sign a contract to wear the black and gold in 2025. There's a chance that he won't. Which means the team would have to find an answer elsewhere - perhaps a trade for Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins - or rely on Howard. Bleacher Report's James Palmer thinks that Howard's upside is so high, he compared him to a Super Bowl-winning quarterback in the state of Pennsylvania. "Will Howard has some traits that some people really, really liked in this draft," Palmer said. "Big, strong, athletic guy. There was one comment that I thought was interesting. Somebody compared him, when I was talking in the draft process, to Jalen Hurts. Just kind of in terms of the physicality and the size he can run with. I think Hurts is a better athlete out in space, but I just thought that was interesting that somebody brought that up." Advertisement The Steelers picked up Howard in the sixth round of this year's NFL Draft with the No. 185 overall pick. If he can turn into anything close to Hurts, a second-round pick in 2020, then Pittsburgh will have found a gem in the late rounds. He could also make Steelers fans forget that they ever thought about signing Rodgers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers decided to bench Justin Fields for Russell Wilson in 2024.
The Pittsburgh Steelers decided to bench Justin Fields for Russell Wilson in 2024. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired veteran quarterback Russell Wilson last offseason, quickly followed by them trading with the Chicago Bears to get Justin Fields. Advertisement The latter started out the year under center as a result of a calf injury to Wilson. But as soon as the veteran quarterback recovered, Fields was benched. And not everyone liked that idea. On a recent episode of the Bill Simmons Podcast, Albert Breer reported that Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was one of the only people that thought benching Fields was the right move. "I think people there would tell you that the Russell Wilson thing undermines so many things in the last month of the season and that a lot of that building really wanted them to go back to Justin Fields," Breer said. "And it was something where Tomlin was kind of, again, all on his own on that one." Advertisement "People in the building'' is a tricky thing. Players? Assistant coaches? The "second-guess'' from then, by the way, can still be in play. Would the Steelers be better off in 2025 is Fields was still here? Fields led the Steelers to a 4-2 record in the six games that he started in, racking up 1,106 yards, five touchdowns, and just one interception. He was also able to show his elite scrambling ability with 289 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. As for Wilson, the team was 6-5 with him under center, but four of their losses were all in a row to end the season, leaving them with a 10-7 record on the season. While that is still solid, some think they could have competed for the lead in the AFC North if Fields had remained the starter. Advertisement Now, the young quarterback will be looking for a fresh start with the New York Jets, and the Steelers will be left wondering what would have happened if they had never benched him.

Greg Olsen Sends Strong Message on Raiders' TE Brock Bowers
Greg Olsen Sends Strong Message on Raiders' TE Brock Bowers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Las Vegas Raiders were fortunate enough to have Georgia tight end Brock Bowers fall into their lap with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. His rookie season was one to remember, as he caught 112 passes for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns. Advertisement Bowers earned Pro Bowl honors in his first professional campaign, and he was also named a First-Team All-Pro. He broke several Raiders records during his rookie year, as well as NFL tight end or rookie records. His impressive season has also earned him a rightful spot among the best tight ends in the league. Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (89).Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Legendary NFL tight end Greg Olsen, who went to three Pro Bowls and earned two All-Pro honors in his career, spoke recently on an episode of Pardon My Take about what makes Bowers such a special player. "That is just unique, to be that tall, that long, super linear, in (the SEC), and you look like the fastest guy on the field," Olsen said. "If he was able to come out of the draft after his second year, ... He would have been a top 10 pick." Advertisement Olsen also has a great understanding of both head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith because he played alongside them for the Seattle Seahawks in 2020. He spoke about what Raider Nation should expect for this season and beyond from Bowers and the new regime. "He's uniquely talented," Olsen said. "I'll be interested to see how that plays out now with the new regime and Pete Carroll. Geno loves his tight ends, but they are going to run the ball. ... As far as just a talent, I think he's the best tight end prospect to come out of the draft in the last 10-15 years. His rookie year matched it, if not exceeded it, which was pretty incredible." Bowers and the Raiders will open up the 2025 NFL season on the road against the New England Patriots on Sunday, September 7.
