How to defend Chiefs Offense?

Originally posted by thl408:
The thing with rushing to contain is that it can restrict what the edge players can do. Essentially neutralizing the edge player's freedom to attack the OT inside, which Bosa in particular likes to do. Stunting with the DE and DT now puts the DT on the outside trying to chase down Mahomes if he escapes the pocket.
Now, if they line up Ford at DT and Buckner at DE, and then stunt, now Ford is the one chasing down Mahomes on the outside.

I like.... buck and Arik on the outside sometime, maybe a lot for contain. Let Nick and Dee loose inside.

You guys realize that Mahomes is nowhere near as fast and elusive as Wilson. With how fast our dline and lbs are he's not going to be running wild for one or running around juking defenders like Wilson does year after year. You guys are blinded how slow and poor fundamentals the Titans had on that Mahomes td run, look at it again how slow Mahomes is really. Just need the secondary to cover long enough when Mahomes is running for his life even tho I feel or dline will track him down quick. Eventually Mahomes will start throwing into coverage forcing things after getting constantly pressured, he seems like the type who will trust his arm way too much when the right dline goes against him and this is one he hasn't seen his whole career

This is true. He is elusive but not on the level of Wilson, Murray, Lamar, or even Cam when healthy. The fact that he juked that Titans defender and then a DB forgot how to tackle, may lead Mahomes to believe he can do this to the Niners, and be a detriment, thinking he can extend plays routinely. Ain't gonna happen. He will run to the sticks a few times and get critical first downs, but nothing like chasing Wilson or Murray down.

Put Uncle Sherm on Kelsey the entire game. Erase their main receiving threat.
EZ FIX...

Andy and Mahomes are a couple of IMPATIENT couple.. They gonna wanna score score score on every series and will try to do so very quickly..

All we have to do is keep both on the sideline and have them nice and long patient drive...

KC Defense is SOOOO WEAKKKKK that IF Shanny can copy his Minnesota & Green Bay game plan, we will WIN this game !!!

I agree with this 100% and posted similar on the game thread. We can demoralize them with pounding it. Reid isn't stupid, and if he learned anything from watching the Vikings and Packers he will over stack the box and dare Jimmy to beat them. We will need Jimmy to be ready and hit key throws.

How?

By not calling plays that eventually puts your defense back on the field w/out enough rest

Your QB can't be soiling his pants in the 4th qtr of the biggest game of his life
Try to play for more than 3.5 quarters. You got to play 4 quarters if you want to win.
