My break down:
- The Chiefs will be trotting out McCoy, Darwin Thompson, and maybe even Spencer Ware. For some reason, they don't want to over use McCoy. And like someone alluded in this thread...Kareem Hunt always near killed us....and ditto with Damien Williams and those pick plays in the AFC title game last year. Damien Williams might miss this game with sore ribs...not sure. So, I expect the Chiefs to pass more...maybe a 60/40 ratio.
- The strength of our defense is the secondary....so we have the tools to shut down the KC passing offense...err...SOMEWHAT. Have Gilly lock down one of their WR's not named Tyreek Hill.....slap Chung on Kelce. And put one guy with help over the top on Tyreek Hill all game.
- If the secondary does what it is supposed to do...then we need to keep Mahomes contained to the pocket...he's still an incredible pocket passer, but we don't want broken down plays where the WR's go in scramble mode. We want to force Mahomes to make passes from the pocket so our secondary can do its thing....throws into tight windows will be made...but they are better than big plays off scrambles.
- Also, I am interested to see if the refs will make calls on those mesh/pick plays the Chiefs like to run.
- On offense....JUST RUN THE DAMN BALL. Get Michel in a goddamn rhythm.... and can we try MORE BUBBLE SCREENS to Michel too? I liked how we ran White out of the backfield last week too....more of that too...stop being predictable. And someone here in some thread made a great point about using Bolden more....Bolden is basically our only two dimensional RB.
- And I am starting to think why we even bother with a TE? If a TE isn't gonna to run routes and get open...why not just put Newhouse out there and play 12 personnel with 6 OL-men.....and two WR's lined up on the strong side. But what do I know? I am an armchair QB here.......not McD.
