Longer but good pod here . for those with Saturday ironing duties..
Dr.Chao
- suggesting it could be a Gronk game this time
- cold weather nuances
- doesn't think KC RG LTD coming from IR will help much
+ interesting anatomy re. last year's TB thumb injury ahead of afccg
(happened on new jet sweep they were installing for the game) reminding Pats were installing new plays this week as well.. interesting to see new wrinkles
Lombardi
- drafting w Walsh; “inventing“ trading down
- 20:00 on NE@KC
- BB will say “we cant win the game with ball flying over our head“
- running game is not going to beat them
- D: starts w calculated/coordinated pass rush, take Kelce away and go from there
- KC has to better defend/pack middle of the field - w extra defender
- on NE difficulty to stop the run from 11 personnel (KC predominant)
(L: NE nickel not best suited for 11 run; they are better vs 12 run bc they can play nickel with base style..) + biggest NE weakness covering the width of the field
- im sure all week they worked on nickel run fits and how they handle wide zone the way KC runs it (and PHI ran it)
- in the cold is harder to tackle - Pats practice tackling every Wed and Thu
- Hogan is schemer - needs scheme to make him open - NE not opening mid field w Gronk hinders Hogan on the outside (plus Tom is a better passer inside the numbers)
- pass rush: you want Mahomes to back up not step out of the pocket
- ST huge role + hidden yards (ST+penalties)
Sharp & Silva
- some stat contexts..
- Andy Reid 14-3 in re-matches in the season
- Mahomes not as dominant since w12
- KC after Hunt adversity
- Pats/TB better #'s since both byes over KC
- TB bad on the road this yr
- Most QBs played better in Arrowhead than other road games
- NE played 3rd easiest schedule vs pass offences
- KC worst in NFL vs 21 personnel run
