Quote:
Greg Cosell of NFL Films and ESPN’s NFL Matchup show is fond of saying that one of the traits of top-level quarterback play is the ability to eliminate what isn’t there, and to isolate what is. Mahomes has done a much better job with this in 2022. One reason this is the case against two-deep stuff is that Mahomes seems to be looking at defenses this season from the bottom up, as opposed to from the top down. He’s not starting with the end of the coverage; he’s reading through the matchups, x-ing out the progressions that don’t work, and confidently pinpointing what’s going to be open. And when you have Mahomes’ combination of velocity and accuracy, more things are open to you than to most other quarterbacks.

Weird I was told on this very message board Mahomes wasn’t doing this.
If Mahomes has solved Cover 2 there isn't much left for him to conquer, he just needs to be consistent.
