I can’t see Conley really ever playing in the slot personally. He just doesn’t fit that role at all, and so if he is your #3 WR, you’re forced to put Hill or Watkins in there most of the time.

I want those two split out wide on opposite sides of the field.

Why? In a base two WR set....sure they can play outside. But when we go to 3 WRs...why wouldn't you want Watkins and Conley outside with Hill in the slot? No slot CB is going to cover Hill and you're going to find more mismatches for him that way.

I actually really like wright. I think he would be great in the wilson role of outlet and short route receiver.

Conley in the slot is a terrible idea.

Based on everything about him. He's a solid blocker in the running game, he's a smart guy but his routes aren't precise, and he doesn't make the contested catch at the NFL level...

Right now, we still spend more on the defense cap wise than the O.

I don't think it'll be balance. I think he expects the offense to have majority of the payroll eventually and I'm good with that. We aren't looking to be a balanced team, which is how you build around Alex Smith. We are looking to destroy people on offense. I wouldn't doubt it's reid knowing he's better off now building around the passing game than building around a DC who's been inconsistent.

Did you quote the wrong post? I didn't say anything about Conley in the slot.

I think it’s more along the lines of depth. Look at what happened after Kelce and Jones got knocked out of the game?

I really hope we sign Watson and Wright bc we need quality depth. What if one one of Kelce, Tyreek or Watkins gets hurt next year? We gonna have Demetrius Harris, Demarcus Robinson or a questionable Chris Conley coming off a major injury be the answer?

**The Franchise** · 03-22-2018, 09:42 AM

Are they planning on restructuring a deal? Because we're going to be getting pretty tight on money unless Veach is going to dump a bunch of picks to move up and get an instant starter.

I may have read that too quick.

My bad, I made the assumption you were for it.

Hands up, slowly backing away...

I’m not saying he can’t play the slot sometimes, but no alignment can put more stress on defenses vertically than Watkins and Tyreek each on the outside of the numbers on each sideline. We need to take advantage of that.

chiefzilla1501 · 03-22-2018, 09:54 AM

If we incorporate more air raid concepts, we'll see a lot more shallow crossers and mesh routes, lots of good opportunity for sweep options, and when going vertical it's not bad to have a guy who can sprint into a route out of the backfield in ways hunt can't. Wright would be a fun gadget for a lot of these things.

is Wright a gadget player I thought he was just slow with excellent route running. Basically a WR that can beat zone coverage while Hill and Watkins beat man coverage

They're really going all in on Mahomes. Adding Wright to the mix only increases this offenses' flexibility and insures some depth.

If you look at our last two playoff losses, the Chiefs ran out of receivers. Last year the O was rolling until Kelce went down. The loss of Kelce and Conley proved too much.
