Census City, Mo. – For option B Chifs The crime began with Wednesday’s practice, on the first day after each NFL team, their initial roster needs to trim 53 players. One of the reasons for Wednesday’s on-field work was more calm than normal because who was absent: comprehensive receiver Rashi rice,
A few hours before Chief’s practice begins, rice, three -year -old player and number 1 receiver for quarterbacks Patrica mahms, Six-game suspension accepted to violate NFL’s personal conduct policyThe league of the punishment made officially on Wednesday afternoon.
Rice will not be eligible to return to the game of 7 October home Las vegas reders In the week 7. For the heads, the news of the suspension finally answered a question that was hovering over the organization (when Rice would serve his suspension) but another still does sex: how will their crime be, once again, acts without his best receiver?
The heads have considered this scenario and there is a plan containing the rest of the rotation of their receivers. Zevier worthy, Hollywood brown, Juju Smith-Shuster And Tyquan Thornton,
Aggressive coordinator Matt Negi said, “This is not the only thing we did recently.” [a suspension] But this is also their health, ensuring that you balance both of those things together. ,
The plan for the heads began on the early days of their training camp. That day rice was the most targeted receiver for Mahomes. In the early 7-on-7 periods, Mahooms completed many passes of rice, which showed their speed, sharp and ability to move in the middle of the field. In the period of the red region of the 7-on-7, rice and mahms were in the perfect sink for 12-yard touchdown. Rice runs a smooth whip route to create isolation against nickel cornerback Gamari conner,
But the next day, the crook receiver Jalan Royals Was on the ground when the rice was on the shore. The chiefs did the same with Smith-Shaster and Thornton.
When the heads face Los angeles chargers On September 5 in Sao Paulo, Mahomes can take several dropbacks including two tight ends – Travis cails And Noah GrayThe receiver who will possibly work in the slot-will be natural status-somith-scuster and brown for rice. For deep threats to mahomes, qualified, the fastest player of the team, and Thornton will probably be a pair to test the secondary of the Chargers led by the security. Derwin James JR,
Gray said on Wednesday, “We are just going to go there and believe what coaches put on our plates, whatever game plan we have.” “Whatever it is, I am really confident of all people. It’s going to be fun. We are really ready for the Chargers game.”
President of the heads against Chicago beer Friday was a preview of crime which did not focus on rice. The longest completion of Mahms, the 58-yard strike was for Thornton, new England Patriots‘2022 second-round pick. Worth showed his ability to get out of the defenders on a small pass and Smith-Shaster holds an impressive competition in the middle of the field. Brown did not play.
But the heads consider that the absence of rice will affect their power.
On Friday, the touchdown of the mahms for rice was the perfect performance from him and his receiver, both of whom were connected to the front corner of the end area connecting a back-shielder pass. The biggest skill of rice is their combination of speed and strength to break the tackle and get additional yards after catch. The element of the crime that was missing last year, when he retained the season-ending injury in the week 4 when he tore the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. The second reception of Rice against Beers was made at a distance of four yards behind the line of scimples. He still covered a distance of 9 yards to take advantage of the soft zone coverage of bears.
“This is another danger,” said Mahomes. “Rashi gets the screen and gets at a distance of 15-20 yards. When they are worried about us and then suddenly we are hitting the screen and getting the same explosive plays, then that kind of crime is complete.
“I think Xavier can do that item, I think Hollywood can do this and then I think Royals can do this. Some people have – a couple version of people who can go out of there and make those plays – this is a defense guess that we are attacking the field.”
According to sources with knowledge of his thinking, Rice agreed to the six-game suspension on Wednesday and his disciplinary hearing with the league was scheduled for September 30 in New York-due to many reasons. He knew that there was no guarantee that former US District Judge Suel. His suspension with Robinson will have been reduced, serving as a disciplinary officer jointly appointed by the NFL and NFL Players Association, which is determined to listen to the case of rice.
In July, rice His role in a multicar crash was sentenced to 30 days jail and five years probation. In Dallas, which injured several people during the 2024 offsen. The 25-year-old Rice blamed the two third-degree hooliganism in the district court-a severe physical injury to the tank and a physical injury to the race on a highway. They were postponed, and the case will be dismissed if he fulfills probation.
According to sources, the rice agreed to suspension, as he wanted to start his sentence in the season, which would not complicate their availability in November or December – stretch of sports in which the major could work towards one of the top playoff seeds. The six -week term will also ensure that the knee of rice is as strong as possible for an important upcoming chapter in his career.
In the camp, rice vowed to stay in shape during his time away from his comrades.
“This is my job, and this is what I like to do,” Rice said earlier this month. “Even when I am not able to get out of there with my team, I am still working as much as I can do so that I can come back with them as soon as possible.”
Rice understands that if he performs well later this season – and he and the heads get success in Postsen – he may be eligible to earn a multi -ir contract extension.
Rice said earlier this month, “Whatever I can do, I can focus on what I can control right now, and I am doing that I am doing it.” “I learned how valuable any opportunity and moment is. This is where we are capable of staying on the field and can be coached by the coach. [Andy] Reed and such a great quarterback, honestly a gift, a blessing.
“I’ve completely changed. Honestly, you have to learn from that kind of things. I have taken advantage of being able to learn something like this.”
