I mean what the !@#$ do you even do as a DC?
If the Chiefs can kill light boxes like that, you pretty much have to abandon them. You can't get killed via 1,000 papercuts against this team because it's just a matter of time before you'll bleed out.
So you have to keep at least 7 in the box and at that point you really do have to pick between Kelce wrecking you 12 yards at a time or Hill/Watkins gashing you to death.
There's just no way to scheme this team. All you can do is hope to out-execute them and w/ these weapons and the preparation this coaching staff provides, that's a pretty cruddy bet.
To defend them you just have to hope you can hang from a pure talent standpoint and you get a couple of lucky breaks. There are maybe 3-5 teams that can hope for that and even then, they need something like the 49ers got where Mahomes just wasn't feeling it for a couple quarters.
These guys can put up 35 at will. |
