Watching Mahomes

[Harry]

Just watched Mahomes run for a first down. He faked out the only would be tackler by pretending to throw the ball. It occurred to me that I can‘t recall seeing Murray do that. Can you? I’ve seen high school QBs do it. As much as they like to bat down Murray’s throws, this technique should work great for him. He should use it often. Again this doesn’t make Murray a bad QB, it’s just an example of ways he can grow with proper coaching. He may have done it occasionally. If I’m right it’s hard to believe. I just don’t recall it and it should have happened often. Funny, I’m watching Rodgers now and he did it the first time he ran.

….Alright.

KM fakes a throw on the first play. On the rest of the plays, he looks too fast to need a fake.

He’s definitely done it a couple time this season he did it to freeze defenders. He did it in the Bears game iirc correctly when he froze like 6 defenders around him as he crossed the end zone. There have been a couple more too. He doesn’t do it as frequently as mahomes I don’t think but he has done it.

I remember him doing it a few times.

Mahomes doesn’t even do it as frequently as Mahomes. Only Rodgers really does it at a high rate.

Mahomeboy isn't as fast or shifty as Kyler.

Better Kyler puts his head down and just runs.

Except he is probably the most accurate deep thrower in the league even without having a legit deep threat guy
But yes he should just run and get injured

I've actually seen him do it quite a bit, maybe too often.

Harry, you are wrong on this one as many of us have seen Kyler do it. However, you are right that he still can improve himself on these type of plays. I'm just happy we have Kyler. IMO he is a franchise qb and can get better.

I saw Mahomes scratch his ass with his left hand. Saving wear and tear on his throwing hand. I believe KM needs to start doing this as well.

This wins observation of the day!!!! Well done !!!!

The fake by Murray in the video was so quick it didn't look like the defense had time to react.

Nothing wrong with a good pump fake though. It works in basketball all the time.

Yes he has done it multiple times.

Aside from scratching he figures to be on the run some today. Let’s see how many times he does this one on one. BTW my point wasn’t he should imitate Mahomes, though if you don’t think he’s been successful, who has? My point was this is one of those old time moves that seems to work one on one. i could have sighted Rodgers just as easily. I’m just surprised, as much as Murray is on the run, I haven’t seen it as a regular part of his skill set.
