Are defenses playing us differently?

Cook had two penalties on ST's but I am not worried about him.

I wish we'd just start a game bracketing Williams and Chase when we face then. There's not many guys like that but those physical mismatches kill us. Best case for me is that Watson or Williams get to a point where they can lock down those big receivers and McDuffie has everyone else. But Chase has speed too, he'll need bracketing.
