Slags seems to always have blitzes that have our OL confused. I'm interested in seeing how Kyle finally counters this.
Kyle needs to work with the Oline coach and get his protections corrected. Two big plays of the game were on 3rd downs in the Super Bowl where Kyle called the correct play, but our s**tty oline protection didn't adjust correctly. We had enough blockers against the blitz but they didn't shift and pick it up correctly. I watched Bill Belichick do a review on this and it angers me even more after watching it. Both times we had players open but the protection didn't pick up correctly. I will try to find the video and post.
Edit* heres the video

The first one was mcduffie blitz. Kyle decided to be cute and line Kittle up at rb. Kittle doesn't pickup the blitz (he's not in a spot he's used to) and Brock doesn't get it out hot
The second was on Burford, but there was no reason to have the line pulling in the first place. There's beauty in simplicity as Andy has shown with his corndog plays in the last two SBs. Clear defined read that gets WIDE open. Imagine Kyle calling such a great play that Kittle is on the field watching our wr catch the game winner on the Jumbotron. That's how it was for the chiefs and Kelce, and they didn't have to get cute to do it. It was simple execution in crunch time
