What can be the Eagles’ strategy to stop Patrick Mahomes?
The experts on NFL Live take a look at what Philadelphia must do to nullify the Chiefs’ attack.
The Chiefs quarterback admitted that he talks from time to time with the now leading scorer in NBA history, from whom he tries to “learn as much as possible.”
Patrick Mahomesquarterback of the Kansas City Chiefsassured that he is inspired by LeBron James and tries to “learn as much as possible” from the star of Los Angeles Lakerswho achieved this Tuesday the absolute record of points in the history of the NBA.
“We talk from time to time and I try to learn as much as possible. His record inspires you because it wasn’t something he was chasing, it was something he didn’t think was possible, he just kept working every day and he got it,” he said. Mahomes at a press conference in Glendale, Arizonawhere will be played next Sunday the Super Bowl LVII against the Philadelphia Eagles.
“And he’s still playing at high levels, it’s legendary stuff, you see a guy who works so hard every day and hits record points. He’s a great scorer, but he’s not even one who just scores points, works to win titles and achieves goals that no one thought could be achieved,” he added.
At 38 years old, LeBron surpassed on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder the points record in the NBA (38,387), who wore Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for 39 years.
In Glendale, Mahomes continues to work to complete his recovery after a soreness in his right ankle that has dragged on since the divisional round of the playoffs against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“I don’t think we know [su estado de forma] Until the game, I’m better, I move better than last week. I continue to undergo rehab and try to get close to 100 percent. I will be better, I will have more mobility and we will see in the game how much I will be close to 100 percent,” he said.
The quarterback of the Chiefschampion of Super Bowl in 2020, highlighted the level of the defense of the Eagles and considered that the team Nick Sirianni he has done a “great job, particularly in the playoffs.”
On a personal level, he assured that his goal is to finish his career without having “remorse.”
“What I’m after is not to have regrets when I finish my career. I’m clear about how lucky I am to be here. When I finish my career, I want to know that I’ve left everything on the pitch,” he said.
He also surrendered to the leadership of his partner Travis Kelcewhose work ethic is an example for the rest of the team to follow.
In his turn at the press conference, the head coach Andy Reid praised Mahomes for his ability to unite the locker room, the coaching staff and the board of directors.
“Patrick He is easy to manage, he wants to be the best every day, in every training session. It’s all you can ask for. In the NFL It is very difficult to manage the board, the coaches and the players without anyone having discomfort. He understands the dynamics of things, he understands people,” he considered.
Ex head coach de los Eagles, Reid expressed his appreciation for the quarterback Jalen Hurtsa player who “is in total control of the offensive dynamics” of his team.
“He is a great boy, he entered the team well. He is a leader and his game showed that he is very good and that he will continue to improve,” he said.
