NFL 2024 Season

Chiefs re-signed JuJu Smith-Schuster yesterday which means they have a very deep receiving core of Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown, Xavier Worthy and JJS.

On another note re/ Louis Rees-Zammit, who will be cut today.

It's clear the RB position has never been valued less, but it doesn't change the fact that RBs still must have elite skills/traits: vision/timing, be able to set up blocks, have juke and burst, and learn to deflect hits (make yourself small through a hole) then break tackles. Those abilities take years to develop, it's very rare to see players swith to RB position late in football and play in college, let alone the NFL, because it takes a certain body type, skill set, and hundreds of carries. A long way of saying LRZ has ZERO chance of being an NFL RB.

There is no blocking allowed in rugby therefore no practice in setting up blocks, following pulling linemen or fullbacks. There are far fewer blindside hits in most rugby plays, as defenders have to still cover the field as possession can continue even after a tackle...for the runner, he doesn't break tackles with the same ferocity because he can pass the ball to a teammate even when tackled...no 1st down marker to worry about.

Nice story, but he couldn't crack Ohio State's RB room this year.

Will they take LRZ on the practice squad?

Rees-Zammit signing with Jacksonville so I guess he isn't done yet.

As a long time Hollywood Brown watcher I think it is a bit funny how he's being talked about this offseason. Not to mention he's already hurt because he plays NFL football while weighing maybe 170 lbs. And Worthy is somehow smaller.

I imagine the Chiefs offense doesn't actually change much from last year structurally, however they should be more consistent which will obviously mean they're better overall. The idea that Mahomes is putting up 2018 numbers again is overstated.

I'll probably do a full predictions post because why not, but I do think KC should coast to the one seed this year. If it doesn't happen it is going to be because they decided to rely on two 170 lbs WRs.
 
Saints delusion already in mid season form. Defense could be legendary, offensive line couldn’t block a kitten, people calling for Rattler to take the reins at QB. It’s going to be another mediocre campaign but WHO DAT!

I doubt if Mahomes goes ballistic like 2018, he is more concerned with winning Super Bowls at whatever cost so reins it in a lot more than his early years. Obviously he can put the pedal to the floor if required but he succeeds now due to his vision and brains than pure athleticism. The opposite of Josh Allen.

The first two games are the Ravens and the Bengals at home. I think the Chiefs shot at the one seed could become clear after them.

I assume Rees-Zammit is being signed by the Jags for commercial reasons due to their London connection as he showed absolutely nothing in pre-season to suggest he even understood the game let alone be able to make a difference on the field.

Trent Baalke loves him some freakish physical ability. No surprise here.

Welcome to Duval, Louis. Enjoy the humidity. Try the garlic crabs. You should already know all about barbecue.
 
I'm betting the under tonight, but the personnel and coordinator changes in the Ravens give me pause. I think the Chiefs win either way, but there's a decent chance Ravens don't make the playoffs this year imo
