True... And obviously the D has been stellar this yr..

but there were still a few games, like the Saints & Cowboys where they allowed ridiculously high completion percentages ..

I mean if Juju and MVS beat you then God bless'em, but you cannot sit back in a shell vs Mahomes

This is my biggest fear and frustration with Gannon. He is convinced that against better QBs you play that soft shell. Well that's when you get those 70%+ completion rates and the opposing offense marches down the field. Gannon has even pulled this with lesser passers and helped make them look like all pros. The personnel is there. The scheme? That's where the inconsistencies happen. I was really hoping Gannon would get a HC job since he was being looked at by a number of teams. Perhaps he'll let his DBs play press, but I doubt it.
