Thanks for the update Bri. Still tough to start after last week.
I love Deandre. One of my fave players. He won't leave my FF bench.
He should have had a TD but Sauce held and held. That's like the best one can say this year.
Callahan is not happy with his own offense and tweaking it. He got pressed on saying he's not given Spears and Nuk enough opportunities and then Burks too. (This guy is delightfully open and unlike any coach ever) Sooo during the next interview he explained he's a first year play caller and he has work to do. They scripted plays in spring, more in summer to suit players strengths and he thinks he can tweak it again. He explained last week he had several plays for Hopkins but the drives stopped.
Levis is third in NFL at throwing to (assumed) first read so Callahan didn't throw him under the bus. That definitely has something to do with this though.
Callahan said he and we(players, staff) can also do a better job of helping the tackles block and he can do a better job on quicker route calls to alleviate how long they have to pass protect.
He's a dream of a speaker at coach. He always says just what we're thinking and what we want to hear. Some are starting to suspect evil like he's placating fans but I don't see that. It's all true collectively and how any team would respond.
My prob with the OL is they're dawgs that have to hit someone sometimes. He needs to put Chestnut in and let them get rough and not always cute plays that have them pulling or on their heels pass blocking. Linemen have a certain mentality that he has to feed a little bit at least
Looking answer but changes are coming or adjustments are coming so let's see.
As far as how he looked. Not getting the ball, he looked himself and the Jets often doubled him like they thought so too

Tough guy to drop. Everyone's rosters are so different. He just has that feel like he could be a decent wr3 for final few months of season.
Weird to see drop posts when he does well.
Callahan still hasn't figured out how to get this offense to go except in spots but Hopkins certainly has some vintage moments last week. A WR can't overcome being pressed well any better than he did on that touchdown. That was sheer determination and crazy hand eye coordination

I'm one of three people on the planet that hung in with Hopkins those first two games. Luv u Hop. Loved seeing his snap count increase. Ppr wr3 moving forward.

I benched him just in time for him to explode back onto the scene.
given the low usage I figured he was still huring and figured it would be at least one more week of badness until he was ready to put up numbers. Turns out I was wrong. he was ready this week.
it wasnt that I didnt believe in the guy, it was more a concern about the injury situation. hes still on my roster.

More so then his stats we need his snap percentage to continue to increase. It's went up every week to last weeks high of 24 snaps for 45%. We need an 80% this week.

Agree. But we also need QB stability and non-volatility in their game. I would like to see some consistency from Levis

Mahomes has proven he can make mediocre wrs good so I don't think the Chiefs need a huge splash. Just a little one. Hopkins would be perfect and cheap. Wish I'd read about some interest in this..
He loves Nashville and is really into it. You've gotta check out his social media. It's all wow with players you know commenting on the food or him in a cowboy hat or a fancy suit.
His mom is blind and she's his heart. She loves it too and there's so much heart warming stuff with those two.
The Titans owner loves him. She was not at all happy about AJB being traded and I wouldn't even ask her if it's ok if I were the GM. I'd be worried I'd get fired for asking.
I put him as especially highly doubtful to be traded.
Then he tweeted something recently-
"Patience is wisdom"
"I was raised to be loyal and don't take the easy road"
For me, that's fuel to the he's not being traded thought.
The Titans do not think they're far off. This is not one of their usual bad teams

Well, now that the Bills have traded for Amari Cooper, it makes perfect sense for the Chiefs to go get him. Comparing him to Amari Cooper, there's a lot of similarities.

Hopkins would also be cheaper.
Idk
I do remember it talked about but not the result. He probably does. He's a devoted son and will not go anywhere without knowing his mom is near and we'll cared for. It's widely known by teams so theoretically it's possible the Chiefs offer a trade and say they've got xyz setup for his mom too but I doubt it.
He's old and not performing well. Teams don't trade for that-at least not much.
He's a calm chill guy that's fun in interviews. He's a probable HOFer that's very popular. A well known good teammate. Still though- teams trade for production and/or youth.
The problem with all these Titans rumors is the Titans GM would be fired. He took over a playoff team in cap trouble. He cleaned house, fired a coach of the year, and this is where they're at. Schwartz had an office at Titans HQ while working for the league. Then he advised two years ago. He let him walk and kept Bowen. Bowen was fine and is doing well with the Giants but Schwartz is a big deal in Nashville and in the organization. After all that...GMs aren't allowed to clean house again two years later. Maybe if like Callahan had them at 6-1 and he earned something but he's got a bad record and seems like another.
He can trade Hopkins and Ridley and whoever else is rumored but I'd bet $ he's gone at the end of the year then.

He can not trade them and he's still gone. If he can get them in position to have a top draft pick then he might have a chance at staying. Right now, his main issue is not having a serviceable NFL QB. If he can fix that with a good draft position then he might have an argument for keeping his job.
He played 44 snaps of 73 or 78.
They made a dumb move by benching the ER that had finally done well and their line stunk immediately and all day.
They started sort of careful with runs and quick passes to the TE since Rudolph was always under pressure.
In time, they opened it up some but drives kept ending or getting ugly due to Ridley. He had an end of half catch and I feel like he missed everything else. Maybe ten targets?
The offense never got truly rolling so Nuk didn't get involved. It was very questionable coaching and play calling also.

That is one crappy draft pick for a player who can still contribute today.

At best a late 4th round pick from KC? That is horrible return

Omg!!!!! Yay!!!! Please be real. Please be real. He is the perfect wr for Mahomes. Omg!!!
I agree but these drafts are deep now, not like 10yrs ago or so and the 4th rounder is no longer a dart throw.. Gm's are getting starting running backs and defensive starters here.. Crazy!

The feeling you get when you hold a bench player and never start him and then realize he is gonna be a weekly flex play is awesome.
