I am obviously not an expert, but early in the game we have to use a lot of screens, slants, and short, quick passes.
We need to be on the short game early, because as the game goes on, it will slow down their rush because they won't be sure if it's a screen or an outlet pass, and they will hesitate just a bit.
So, McKinnon and Pacheco would be huge in the screen game, but I wouldn't limit it to just backs.
And if we can slow their rush just a little bit, after attacking short, the defense could open up for some deep passes.
So, hit the backs, Toney, and even Kelce on quick hitters, screens, and slants, the defense won't be able to just pick a spot on the backfield and go, and we limit their rush and protect Wiley, and to some extent Brown, in the process.
I am also all for running the ball, unless we keep running it up the middle for 2 yards over and over.
And I would say there is an honorable mention, and that's the defense being physical with Hurts. I am not saying play dirty, but when a hard, legal hit is there, we need to make sure Hurts feels it. I would never say let's injure the other team's QB, but their defense sure as hell is going to be physical with Mahomes.
