Apart from one small detail, you’ve got it right on. I don’t feel that Acho is clueless. He knows the media game and is playing it. Yes I had 5 bullet points explaining the flaws behind his list but those are mainly there for structure and discussion material for the community. A bit pointless and a waste of time many might think. But this to me is just a hobby and a way to connect with the community. Appreciate your time and effort in reading it!
I agree with you that the linemen, especially the OLine are often neglected by sports fans and MVP conversations are completely out of the picture for them. At least DLinemen have an award that they can contend for in terms of recognition. Acho couldn’t have picked a better representative of OLinemen than Trent Williams. However, if the intention was to give players that are key pieces but overlooked a shout in the MVP race, he would’ve been praised if he had stayed within his parameters of “value”. Unfortunately for him, now he comes across as someone who’s just having a hot take and is using Trent Williams’ name for novelty purposes. He might’ve had good intentions. But poor execution imo.
From “till the wheels fall off” to “seriously considering retirement”, I have a feeling that Travis Kelce won’t be playing for the Chiefs next season. He’s been moving like someone who’s 5’6”, not 6’5” for his whole career and that’s probably been taking a toll on his knees. Also, the fact that he refuses to mention what’s hurting because teams can use it against him alludes that it might be of concern. Just hope he can end it on a ring
I’m sorry to hear that. I often find barbershop talk fun because discussion brings the community together despite disagreements and differing views. Although I can see your point on how it can get long winded and repetitive. That being said, all the best for your game at the Linc this week. Looking forward to a great game!
