Kareem (Hunt) has got a real knack for that (short yardage situations). He\u2019s got great vision, and he\u2019s always been good at that part of it. Having him back there is a \u2013 that\u2019s a great thing. Having him on our roster is a great thing because he brings this veteran leadership, a confidence to that group, which I appreciate. He\u2019s seen a lot of things and been through a lot of things and does a great job of handling himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 data-mm-id=\"_cjic8o47g\"><strong>Q<\/strong>: What did you see from Patrick Mahomes after watching film?<\/h3>\n<figure data-mm-id=\"_ikauquynq\">\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_cwuaksety\"><strong>REID<\/strong>: \u201cYou saw him (Patrick Mahomes) execute all the phases in the offense. We have different categories there, whether it\u2019s play pass movements, whether it\u2019s three-step drop, five step drop concepts and then all the screen game that goes with that. We do a variety of screens. I liked the way he handled that. His checks were good at the line of scrimmage when he had to put a little Hollywood (acting) into things, he did good with that and some of the tricky stuff. I thought he handled everything real well.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 data-mm-id=\"_jalvzv0hq\">Q: What are you seeing from Brashard Smith\u2019s progression?<\/h3>\n<figure data-mm-id=\"_vbbtno8bb\">\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_663tct00o\"><strong>REID<\/strong>: \u201cI think (Offensive Coordinator) Matt\u2019s (Nagy) done a nice job along with (Running Backs Coach)<br \/>\nTodd (Pinkston) and (Assistant Running Backs Coach) Mark (DeLeone) of just bringing him (Brashard<br \/>\nSmith) along. He had, I want to say, 14 touches yesterday or so and did a nice job of that. He\u2019s catching the ball well, and I like where he\u2019s at now. He\u2019s in a good frame of mind and he\u2019s picking things up. So, we just keep coming with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_up0mveub2\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode of the Kansas City Chiefs Insider Podcast, we break down why the preseason thoughts on Patrick Mahomes not being a top-three quarterback in the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
