Mitchell Schwartz

And he did struggle in this game.

But if you watch Mitchell Schwartz's breakdown, it's not all on him by any stretch of the imagination.

Like one, maybe Kingsley was supposed to have some inside help on the play where Mahomes specifically got bulldozed when he threw it to Kelsey for the touchdown.

But, there's a lot working with this offense.

Offensive line play I think is a little bit more difficult to do so.

So I usually try to leave it to the experts, or if I got a offensive line question, we have Mitchell Schwartz come in.

If we got a question about another position, we try to get somebody on with the mer- measure of expertise that I can speak to.

I am torn when it comes to this.

Even if they didn't know that it was a bulging disc originally, I have no idea, I'm fully freewheeling here, but even if that was, like, a second opinion kind of thing or a third opinion kind of thing, whenever that came out, I, I do think, to your point, it would've made it a lot easier to just sort of understand the process.

If you say, "Hey, we're not putting him on IR 'cause he, he might wake up feeling better tomorrow.

But we also aren't going to ex- going to guarantee a timeline to return, because backs are tricky." Like, you, you can think back to the, the Mitchell Schwartz days or talk to, you know, talk to anybody who's ever had a bad back and they'll tell you you never had a bad back.

It's always something that you manage.

If you say, hey, we're not putting him on IR because he might wake up feeling better tomorrow, but we also aren't going to... going to guarantee a timeline to return because backs are tricky.

Like you, you can think back to the, the Mitchell Schwartz days or talk, you know, talk to anybody who's ever had a bad back and they'll tell you, you never had a bad back.

It's always something that you manage.

And if Josh Simmons is in a place right now of like, Hey, if I can, if I can get this back to a hundred percent, then I'm, then I'm going to be more confident in it.

Well, again, this is [laughs] this is probably going to, like ...

I watch Mitch Schwartz videos on YouTube-

Right

... which he does a great job, [laughs] and he's, he broke down, he's break, broken down film of all these guys over and over again.

run game.

I will say, Mitchell Schwartz had put out, he's continued to do a really good video series out on some of the stuff in the Chiefs postgame and some of the other stuff in the NFL, but He was talking about it.

He's like, they went even harder after it.

He's like, he's been watching every week.

Kenneth Walker's still on pace for like 400-plus touches, which is too many, to be clear.

That would be 160 more than his career high, so at some point, it will still need to go down for Kenneth Walker and Will.

But Mitchell Schwartz had pointed this out on his podcast, and it's worth listening to in his video breakdowns and stuff on YouTube.

This week...
