It’s almost like they were way too top heavy and guys like Pringle and Robinson could easily be covered 1v1 making it easy for defenses to drop 8 and double Kelce/Tyreek knowing Andy won’t run the ball.
Andy still won’t run the ball but we can stock up our receivers to not entirely rely on one of them to get us out of a jam

I mean yeah. That's why we went into the off season with WR2 as a big need. Teams changing their entire defense for one player is a good thing. We just couldn't (bad WR2s) exploit it and sometimes like in the Bengals game we could exploit it and either chose not to (coaches not running the ball despite 5+ ypc) or because Pat literally couldn't play. I don't get why people are acting like teams selling out to stop Tyreek was a bad thing. No, it was great, but we just made it bad by not doing simple shit to punish them for it.
