How the Chiefs are attacking the 2 deep defense.

Mahomes always goes for the jugular. If he's reading high to low, with shit pass protection, he misses the underneath plays.

The big one that had everyone's vagina bleeding last year was Kelce wide open for about 15 free yards, and Mahomes opted for the deep shot to a double covered Hardman who had about a half step separation, and it just didn't connect.

Now that he's reading underneath first, with far less reward to hold the ball and wait, he's hitting these plays that Andy has schemed up to beat this coverage with wide open guys.

That's when our offense is the best, when Mahomes gets that dump first mentality on every drop back. Andy has always been great at calling games to his teams strength and throwing the long ball is not Mahomes long suit. Just continue dumping them to death. The only defense to the constant short passing game is consistent good tackling which doesn't exist in today's NFL and Andy knows that.
