Following a bye week, the Kansas City Chiefs will play again Sunday night against the Tennessee Titans to come together for a strong playoff run. JuJu Smith-Schuster, a wide receiver with the Kansas City Chiefs after five seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been one of several crucial contributors.
The former Pro Bowl receiver spoke about a variety of subjects as a guest on the most recent Block Forever episode, which was hosted by offensive lineman Ryan Khalil, an NFL veteran of 13 years. The quarterback and head coach analogies on the Audiorama podcast were centered on Smith-move Schuster’s from Pittsburgh to Kansas City.
Smith-Schuster remarked, “I’ll say, Big Ben (Roethlisberger) likes his touch passes like it’s pretty darn nice. “Like he’s placing it — he’s played for so long that he knows how to put that touch on it, like if you hit a three-pointer,” the critic said. For instance, if someone had run across, you would have an outside linebacker beneath, a safety or top corner, and Ben would be putting a light touch before sliding into the pocket. In the most recent game, (Patrick) Mahomes made a wild pass that allowed us to gain possession of the ball while he was on the other side of the field.

“I mean, both are good, Ben with the touch pass, Patrick Mahomes with the darts and just putting it on the money in the spot.”
Smith-Schuster received numerous accolades during his time with the Steelers, including being chosen for the 2018 Pro Bowl, becoming the youngest player to accumulate 2,500 receiving yards in a career, and becoming the first to score two at least 97-yard offensive touchdowns. He would discuss with Khalil the distinctions between Kansas City’s Andy Reid and Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin as head coaches.
“Biggest difference? So Coach (Mike) Tomlin is a defensive coach, head coach, great coach of defensive schemes, all that,” Smith-Schuster said. “Andy Reid (is an) offensive coach, big offensive scheme guy, you know. And I’ll say like that’s like the biggest difference, that they both master each side of the ball.”
Smith-Schuster has 34 catches for 494 yards and two touchdowns in his seven games with the Chiefs. He has improved his output in the weeks preceding the bye week and has established himself as a reliable option for Mahomes.
