So, apparently their DC is Aaron Glenn, a coach right off the Fangio/Parcells tree. However, in DET land, they say he likes to run a lot of man, single high S. So not a lot of two-high shell. Of course, I'll bet a stack of hundreds as tall as me that he tries to disguise his looks often, but he's going to run a lot of man, probably.
So this might be a better test than I originally thought, especially if they try to jam our WRs a lot. Should be a good test to start the season.

I'm pretty sure it'll be a close game. If I bet the game, I'd probably pick the under. A lot depends on just how physical your DL/OL play, imo. If they come out firing, the way they did in the couple games i saw last season (sometime after Week 14?), they'll be a tough out for KC. Your guys were really violent at the snap in those games. Was fun to watch.

Ah, yeah, I agree. I had a brainfart; i meant I'd bet DET to cover, not the Under. If CJ doesn't play, I have a feeling it's going to be a little bit of a shootout. Maybe even if he does; he probably isn't in game shape yet.

Just checked: Goff was 3rd in the NFL last season vs. the blitz. That seems like a typo to me, as I remember him being kind of shitty vs. the blitz back in 2019. But everyone's reporting that he was the 3rd best QB vs. the blitz last year.

If you blitz heavy and leave ASB one on one Goff will find him all day. |

Spagnuolo is one of the best around at just that. Goff is very accurate from a clean pocket and when things are on schedule. If things break down, he doesn't have mutant physical gifts to just make something happen (Allen, Hurts, Mahomes, Herbert, Jackson) or unbelievable calm and poise (Burrow, Rodgers). Which is why he's in that next group of QBs. Chiefs will have to shine at disguising and have some good wrinkles for dealing with the gap scheme of the Lions' run game. One thing they've used against gap in the past is lining up a LB in the 0 gap to force the C to engage head-on rather than double-teaming and then working downfield. I am intrigued to see if KC trots out a modified 3-3-5 without Jones that features Bolton flanked by Chenal and Gay, who have speed and power to function like a DE in the run game.

Yeah, Andy has been scheming new stuff all off-season. He likes to test drive the new concepts in week 1 to make sure they are good with the new personnel. Then he wraps them up and puts them away for critical situations and the playoffs. Week 1 is the one week all year when we can count on seeing a good portion of the play book.
