How (and why) the Chiefs Defense has improved

[DenverChief]

Super informative video. Basically switching up to the split safety coverage to keep a top on the offense and allows for a bunch of other coverage defenses. Pre this year we have blitzed 35% of the time. This year dropped to 24%, much more emphasis on the D Line getting home and clogging up all the pass lanes with extra pass defender. Which takes the extra defender away from the line so even more emphasis on the D line all taking up 2 gaps to allow linebackers to free access to the runner - as well as having big DB's who run support well.
