It all looks like they are trying to keep things in front of them by design, avoid the deep plays (why Bates is so far back all the time), and try to beat you with the front four (which they have some high motor guys in Hendrickson and Hubbard). I think their front four is fairly decent at times to be honest, but overall I don't think they're better than the Browns front four.
Even when they do blitz, the often will drop a DE into coverage in exchange for a LB or DB coming off an edge. While they do bring 5 or 6 occasionally, it is evident they either (a) don't like to do it; or (b) don't want to do it, because it's counter-productive with keeping things in front of them.
Simply put: It seems their style of D that limits the big play, keeps the ball in front of them, and then take advantage of the other team's mistakes along the way. Sound familiar? Well it should, because that's what teams have been trying to do to us all season, albeit the Bengals Like to do it by manning up moreso than 2 deep zone).
I suspect we'll definitely see more zone looks simply because trying to man up on Hill and Kelce is foolish. I also see that they have no issue rushing three....and do it fairly often as well. Of course, this usually comes with some 2 deep zone concepts as well (which probably becomes 3-4 deep because then keep everything in front of them)
I also have seen that only rushing four exposes them to QBs getting outside the pocket often, particularly with an OL like ours that can handle it. I expect Mahomes to be able to get out on the perimeter and do his Mahomes things.
I also believe their LBs are a huge liability, hence the reason TEs tend to feast on them.
I think it will be a long day for them if they try to single high, rush four all day. Will be a rougher day if they 2 deep zone....so really all that is left if for the gals to do exactly what the Bengals guy who Kimosabi quoted said to do.....

The problem here is Vonn Bell is no HB and this is where they are about to get raped.
Hill and Kelce have the jets to make them pay dearly for rolling this plan out unless covid is still ****ing them.
It's only going to take a few 10 yard gains that become 30+ due to missed tackles before they will have to abandon what they're doing.
While it's true they generally stick to the plan, they haven't faced an Offense like this one.
