If you see the Chiefs in their 3-4 base package A LOT I can guarantee you it means we are losing.

Get an early lead, make them one dimensional, get DoD/Sorenson on the field, and cut the pass rushers loose. That's how we win IMO.

I agree, I think we see a lot of designed roll outs to counter the interior pressure. They can be worn down.

Defensively, I think Sutton will play a 3-3-5 a lot against their 11 personnel with DOD and Sorenson getting a lot of time to cover Gurley out of the backfield. The Rams Oline is pretty good so it might take some aggressive blitzing to get to Goff consistently; Goff is great in a clean pocket but has no pocket awareness and is easily rattled.
