This is part three of a three-part weekly film analysis on the performa

nce of Patrick Mahomes. Part one: something good and something bad here Mitchell Schwartz Jersey , part two: something smart and something special here.Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. I went as the GOAT.Something improvedWeek over week, the comfort level for Patrick Mahomes increases. Whereas earlier in his young career, Mahomes had the propensity waste space in the pocket, now he’s starting to show efficiency. He’s showing continual growth and comfort in the spaces he’s being asked to work in.With front-side pressure, Mahomes uses a slight step up in the pocket, showing ball protection through the movement up. It looked more instinctual than it ever has, as if the experience gained every week is starting to make a difference to his habits. That comfort is reflected in how he doesn’t skip a beat in his progression and sees Sammy Watkins on a crosser coming into his line of sight. Because his movements were small and controlled, Mahomes has a good base underneath him to deliver an accurate ball to Watkins in stride who finished for a touchdown.It’s a small detail, but these kinds of little things are what can separate quarterbacks over the length of a career. As he develops De’Anthony Thomas Jersey , it can help him create opportunities inside the pocket that other quarterbacks aren’t. Continually showing more control and command in situations like this is what makes me believe he’ll reach that giant ceiling.Needs improvementThere hasn’t been many youthful mistakes and moments this year, but these certainly qualify.There is a time and place to make plays and show off the rare talents. Icing away a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter does not qualify as a time to make a flashy play.On the first clip, Mahomes tries a no-look pass on a slant to Tyreek Hill. He’s upset afterward, presumably because Hill slows down. Had Hill continued to run, the connection might’ve been made. But it wasn’t and the ball very realistically could’ve been intercepted. Even though it’s practiced and players need to learn to expect that ball, the time isn’t right to be trying that. The Chiefs are up 10 at this point in the fourth quarter. An interception there makes the game much more interesting.The next clip is Mahomes’ interception. On a first-and-10 around midfield, Mahomes steps up against pressure and tries to force a ball into Travis Kelce who’s got tight coverage on him. Mahomes sails the throw in the middle of the field, leading to an interception. He was going to get taken to the ground either way, but I’d rather him have just eaten the play and lived to play second down.Again Laurent Duvernay-Tardif Jersey , in this situation up 10, it’s not the time to be trying to make this kind of play. Especially since it’s a first-down play. This was another sign of inexperience that Mahomes has done a fantastic job of minimizing for the most part.The last throw specifically was the kind of throw you expected to see more frequently from the second-year player. To that point, he should be commended. Both plays were still very likely addressed by the coaching staff with Mahomes. 45 seconds with Kent SwansonNever miss an episode of 45 Seconds by subscribing to our YouTube channel here. NBC Sports’ Peter King released NFL power rankings in his Monday morning Football Morning in America column."Renowned NFL columnist Peter King made a good point Monday morning in his weekly “Football Morning in America” column for NBC Sports. With free agency, the NFL Draft and the undrafted free agency period in the books, teams are mostly set for 2019 barring a preseason trade.With that in mind, King posted his initial power rankings for the 2019 season—and you didn’t need to scroll too far down to find the Kansas City Chiefs, King’s top-ranked team.King is going with the 23-year-old reigning MVP, who several analysts, including ESPN’s Louis Riddick Ron Parker Jersey , have said should stand to improve this season. Even without now-Browns running back Kareem Hunt and wide receiver Tyreek Hill for at least a period of time, King likes the Chiefs as the league’s top team because of No. 15.I thought King’s note about Hill was interesting due to his language of “a possible suspension to start the season.” Someone asked me on Twitter Friday if I thought Hill would play for the Chiefs in 2019. The answer is simple: in my mind, the chances of Hill remaining in Kansas City become higher with each passing day. The latest from the Chiefs on Hill is still their statement from draft weekend—the wide receiver won’t partake in offseason team activities. In early May, Hill’s lawyer denied child abuse claims in a letter to the NFL.Assuming no new information on the situation is released, I now believe Hill will play for the club. I also believe he will serve some sort of suspension, and if that is the case, the Chiefs will likely need to rely on the rookie earlier than they otherwise would have.I think there is a misconception in Kansas City and nationally that the Chiefs, in the case of a Hill suspension or release, would simply run the exact same game plans Allen Bailey Jersey , swapping in Hardman for whatever it was that Hill would have been asked to do.What I see as much more likely is Hardman being part of a different game plan entirely that primarily revolves around the use of Travis Kelce, Sammy Watkins and Damien Williams. Hardman would maintain the home-run ability on returns, setting up better field position for Mahomes and company. If and when Hill returned to the club, he would regain a primary role as Hardman continued to develop.King rounded out the top five with the 2) New England Patriots, 3) Indianapolis Colts, 4) Los Angeles Rams and 5) Los Angeles Chargers. King placed the Oakland Raiders 19th and the Denver Broncos 24th. I encourage you to read his full column and rankings here.
