If you're going to Blitz you need to have the DB's to punish you for chucking it up. Right now, QB's are completing damn near everything. They're identifying the 1v1 matchups and throwing it up. Our DB's don't have the ball skills and our safties are often out of position to make the QB pay for it.
Like you said: Risk vs Reward. And right now the Reward for going deep on the Chiefs is far greater than the risk....especially if the DB you're attacking is Cooper is has been Bartee like with getting his head around.

It's not even about 1 guy. Each game a QB can find the 1 on 1 they like and milk it.
Smith is the most Bartee-like corner on this team. The guy is consistently in position to make a play and almost never does. His situational awareness is $3it.
You can excuse some of that in a rookie like Cooper. He should get better with time. Smith is a different story...
