Kansas City Chief’s rookie wide receiver Rashi rice has emerged as the Kansas City Chief’s number one wide receiver since about the last third or so of the season and as we talked about yesterday that season is over and the Kansas City Chiefs and a few select other teams are

About to start a new season here in the playoffs but I wanted to make a minute here on the channel to talk about Rashi Rice’s rookie season as a whole and there is going to be a series at the conclusion of the Chiefs playoff run where I start going rookie by rookie

Through the season and what each player did or did not accomplish um overall so this is not quite that video but there’s going to be hints of what will be coming in that video so if this type of thing is something that you would look forward

To make sure to have an eye open for that video but I mentioned Rashi rice started being the chief’s number one wide receiver basically fully and wholly around week 12 game 11 the first game against the Raiders in that game he saw 10 targets for eight receptions 107

Yards his first 100 yard game of his career one of only two in his rookie season he had a touchdown as well he caught 80% of the passes thrown to him now he had two official drops in that game as well but he also had a rating win targeted of

144.5 now that was not the highest rating win targeted of his rookie season that happened against the Chargers the first time he didn’t play against the Chargers the second time but you know what I’m saying when he had a a rating win targeted of 147.5 however it was the highest rating

Win targeted that Rashid rise had in a game where he had a drop obviously drops greatly negatively affect a rating when targeted so to have two drops on 10 targets that means you had to do some pretty impressive stuff the times that you did make the catch

That game also marked the first time that Rashi rice had 10 targets it was the first time he had more than seven targets he would go on to have more than seven targets for five consecutive games after that including 10 against the Buffalo Bills and 12 against the Raiders

The second time around and if we’re making this video heading into the playoffs at the conclusion of of the regular season but not the conclusion of the chief’s season it means that we’re going to be asking the question what does this mean for the Kansas City Chiefs going forward in the playoffs and

Intuitively we should look at the game where they played Tua in Miami well I guess it was in Germany but against Miami Rashi rise had just two Targets two receptions and 17 yards including a touchdown if there is any one factor that should give this fan base confidence against the Chargers it is

Precisely that the Kansas City Chiefs came away from that game against Miami with a 21-4 victory and it never felt in doubt after the Tyreek Hill giveaway it never felt like the Kansas City Chiefs were really in danger of losing that game despite the fact that they only won

By a single touchdown the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs were able to do that able to engineer and dominate that game even if this box score didn’t quite reflect it but engineer and dominate that game in a way that they did without having a number one wide receiver and now they do

Should give this fan base a little bit of confidence confidence that this fan base hasn’t really had for the better part of two months since the Chiefs lost against the Philadelphia Eagles and went on to finish the season winning three and losing four now I want to go back to

The first time that the Kansas City Chiefs and the Dolphins played this season I want to talk about some stats overall that happened in that game to illustrate uh just what we could be in for in the playoffs Patrick Mahomes was 20 of 30 for 185 yards two touchdowns and no

Interceptions one of those touchdowns was to Rashi rice the other was to Jerick McKinnon off the top of your head if you had to guess who who who who was the Kansas City chief leading wide receiver on that day do you remember I did not I did not remember this Noah

Gray three receptions 34 yards three receptions 34 yards led the Kansas City Chiefs in receiving number two was Sky Moore two receptions for 33 yards or Noah Grace had 34 yards I don’t know if I said that wrong skymore two receptions 33 yards third on the team

Was a tie between Jerick McKinnon and Marquez Valdez scantling two receptions for 22 yards cadarius Tony one reception 18 yards rashy rice two receptions 17 yards Justin Watson two receptions 15 yards Travis Kelce three receptions 14 yards Miko Hardman three receptions 10 yards L Michel perine was targeted no

Receptions Isaiah Pacho was targeted no receptions guys that was hrid now is it possible that the Kansas City Chief’s offense has a performance that very putrid again in the playoffs yes in fact the only thing that has been consistently better since that game has been Rashi rice further the only thing

That has been better consistently since that game has been rashy rice as the Kansas City Chiefs go went on to finish the season three and four so no this emergence of Rashi rice does not suggest that the Kansas City Chiefs are undoubtedly going to beat the Miami

Dolphins it does not mean that they are invulnerable here in the playoffs but here’s what it does mean from here on out the games are doe or Die In His short NFL career Patrick Mahomes is already one of the very best players when the stakes are do or die now this

May seem a silly distinction considering the fact that Patrick Mahomes has a record of 74 and 22 in the regular season it seems that that would be a silly distinction but hear me out Patrick momes has a winning percentage of 770 in the regular season being 74 and 22

Patrick Mahomes has a winning percentage of 780 in the playoffs 780 with a record of 11 and3 now in truth it’s 10 points is not a huge difference but what it means what it really means is that Patrick Mahomes is really good all the time but when everything is on the line

When you have to sell out or go home Patrick momes is even a little bit better which is not all that mindboggling until you take into account the fact that all of those teams he’s facing in the playoffs are playoff teams those are division winners those are the best teams in football

He has a 780 winning percentage against the best teams in football there’s no Raiders games there there’s no Broncos games there there’s no oops we faced the Jets there it’s just the cream of the crop how does Rashi rice figure into this let’s go back to the stats from that

First Dolphins game Patrick Mahomes was 20 of 30 okay 20 completions on 30 throws 11 players had targets he targeted 11 players over 30 throws and during the course of a regular season this makes sense especially if you have the playoffs in the back of your mind

The entire time during the course of the regular season it makes sense to see which players you have rapport with whom you have rapport it makes sense to try different things by the time you get to the playoffs and this is why the strategy with Andy Reid has been so

Unsold we say things all the time like it seems like these games are practices for this team they don’t really nail anything down and try to hammer it home they don’t try to exploit anything that they know they can exploit over and over again because these things are being

Done with the playoffs in mind mind if the Kansas City Chiefs are playing the entire season knowing that they’re going to be in the postseason it is by the postseason that they have to know what they consider to be unstoppable but it’s the NFL you can have anything that you

Consider to be unstoppable if another team sees it enough somebody’s going to figure out how to stop it so this season when it seemed like the only thing that this off had to offer was Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce even though it’s Travis Kelce even though he’s a first ballot Hall Famer

Even though he is probably the best tight end of all time and absolutely the best receiving tight end of all time even though Patrick Mahomes is on course to be the goat at quarterback well that can get shut down these are are the best in the world defensive coordinators linebackers cornerbacks safeties the

Derwin James of the world are in the NFL and if you give them two shots in a season to stop Travis Kelce probably one of those times they’re going to stop Travis Kelce but now the Kansas City Chiefs have an emergent wide receiver who can play alongside Travis Kelce and provide targets for

Patrick momes to where he does not have to spread the ball across 11 wide receivers now you force the Dolphins to double team Travis Kelce because you have to double team Travis Kelce and bracket Rashi rice and all of a sudden something comes open somewhere else now

Where that somewhere else is can be tricky for the Kansas City Chiefs if that somewhere else is for example Marquez Valdez scandling probably third down is coming up but Noah gray can make catches Richie James has started to emerge as someone who can make a catch

Now and again I would contend that every once in a while Justin Watson for the first third of the season I think it was Justin Watson was the Kansas City Chief’s leading receiver he can do that he has started to slip this team is playing without a whole lot of

Confidence it might just be a matter of that there’s always micle Hardman who is good for at least one nice play per I don’t know three or four hair pulling plays what about Jerick McKinnon the point is all this offense needs is a couple things clicking Patrick Mahomes knows that now

It’s do or die he has to force what he has to force there is no a Shucks will take the L and be in the playoffs anyway this is the playoffs The Time Is Now or Never and I am personally willing to bet the Rashi rice will have a lot more than

Two Targets in this second Go versus the Dolphins and as of right now this is what the Dolphins depth chart sounds like starting left cornerback xaven Howard doubt ful starting strong safety Deshawn Elliott questionable starting free safety Javon Holland questionable starting right cornerback Jaylen Ramsey J Jaylen Ramsay questionable the entire

Starting secondary for the Dolphins right now is on the injury report now I fully expect all of them to actually play because if you look at the uh the depth chart for the Miami Dolphins if you look at what it is that they are listing it seems they’re playing some

Bill bellich games on their 44 man to deep 10 players are listed with injury designations that is a quarter of their to deep nine of their starting 22 is listed with with injury designation nearly half of their starting lineup offense and defense has some type of injury

Designation but do you know who’s coming into this game with a full week of rest and preparation Rashi rice not to mention Travis Kelce not to mention Patrick momes the Dolphins however had to battle and lose to the Buffalo Bills last week and in that secondary xaven Howard did

Not participate today with that foot injury Javon Holland the safety has knes listed as his injury designation uh that has an S at the end that’s double did not participate Des shonne Elliot the other safety listed with a calf did not participate by the way Taran arm Armstead their tackle is listed with

Knee ankle and back did not participate guys if zaven Howard is not able to to play do you know who steps in Eli Apple so I mean you know just do with that what you will yeah it it’s been a long end to the regular season but that season’s done now now

It’s the postseason the Chiefs are playing the Dolphins and I’m starting to feel a little bit better about it that’s what I have for this video if you like or appreciate what it is that I do here hitting the like button really does help me out as it tells YouTube too share

This video with other Kansas City Chiefs fans and if you find yourself here by chance but not design the Kansas City Chiefs are the only thing that I talk about on this channel dropping four five six seven sometimes even more videos every single week and I hope to have you

Back for the next one
