All of our weapons on offense can beat man coverage and take it to the house.

And our offensive line is pretty good, too.

I keep seeing it posted that teams are going to have to play a safety deep so Reek won't burn them- and then another safety to cover Kelce?

Seems like a mismatch and that leaves zero run support.

So does that leave a linebacker on Williams? Huge mismatch.

Or you use a CB or LB to try and cover Kelce and leave your safety in for run support and swing passes? Mismatch on Kelce.

Or am I overthinking this?

Nobody is going to be able to stop this offense.

It’s probably the most talented offense in history.

Exactly, so you put your #1 CB on Reek which gives you 50/50 shot of covering him- then a safety deep, for half the time your #1 can't cover.

2 of your defensive pieces are off the board.

Your #2 CB on Watkins, #3 CB on DRob a Safty on Kelce.

5 Defensive players off the board- Correct?

So that leaves you 6 Defensive players. If you rush 4 guys- that leaves 2 to cover the entire middle of the field and your LB #1 on Williams-which would still be a mismatch.

Rush 3 and drop 3 back to cover short-yardage- Mahomes has all day and you better hope your secondary does not get burned deep.

What if they line up Hardman as well? You will have to use your CB#4 or a LB which looks like a huge mismatch.

D Coordinators can disguise blitzes and try to confuse Mahomes- but that does not change the fact we have players that create consistent mismatches in man coverage and Reek will have to be left 1 on 1 if you want any kind of decent run support.

I would love to see some of the Defensive minded guys on here make a thread to explain how the Chiefs will not have some kind of edge nearly every play?
