Andy Reid’s complex system can cause issues for rookies coming into the NFL as members of the Kansas City Chiefs offense. Skyy Moore was one such rookie last season, as he struggled to find a rhythm for much of the team’s 2022 campaign.
During Wednesday’s press conference after practice, Moore explained what exactly makes Reid’s system so difficult to grasp.
“It’s just very detailed,” Moore explained. “Coach [Andy] Reid wants you in a specific spot, specific alignment, so everything is not as detailed from the offense that you were coming from [in college].”
After being in the system for a year, the 22-year-old receiver is much more comfortable in his role and understanding of the offense.
“[I’m] way more comfortable. I have that year of experience,” Moore continued. “I feel like certain things that I already know. I went through a whole season. I shouldn’t have to be coached on – where to align – anything that happens before the snap, I don’t need to get coached up on. It’s more of how I beat the guy, instead of what route do I run.”
Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes will be depending on Moore’s services this season, as the Chiefs’ receiving corps is filled with exciting yet unproven talent. Moore’s performance in training camp has given coaches and players hope that he can step up this season and become a star in Kansas City’s offense.
