0:00.0	The following is a shortened version of our Ask Greg CoSell live stream that we do every week during the NFL season for our Patreon tier three members.

2:04.6	Because don't forget, Mahomes did not have a ton of dropbacks.

2:09.8	Greg, I have two questions for you.
2:11.8	The first one being, I know on the defensive podcast, you mentioned about the Darius
2:17.0	Need following Devante Adams and how you
2:20.0	that with Puka because he's kind of like a chess player. Would you think or would it be wise for the
