That said - Burrow is really good against the blitz and we don't get a ton of pressure from our front 4.
So, just as we said TWICE last year, it's a game where the DL absolutely has to make a difference. Karlaftis, Jones, Saunders and Clark need to get themselves in the box score somehow.
They've gotta make things uncomfortable for Burrow without sending extra guys because he handles the blitz just like you're taught. And when he does it, those WRs can get the ball in space and make a big play out of it.
C'mon DL - do your thing.

This Spags DL should actually match up pretty well with them. Their tackles, especially the LT, do not hold up well against power rush moves. And I don’t care how good your interior DL is, Chris Jones is better (and they’ll move him around so he isn’t matched up against Kappa).
Burrow is excellent overall and crafty in the pocket. Chiefs must do a better job getting him on the ground, and that comes down to everyone up front - not just Chris Jones - doing their job. If Dunlap/Karlaftis/Clark are controlling the edges while also pushing the T back with good power rushes, there’s less room for him to escape pressure up the middle. |
