It wasn't a bad idea. Vance Joseph's defense was just made an example of. I expect to see this approach 1 more game. If Jimmy shreds that team, then defensive coordinators will have to go back to the drawing board.
If I was an opposing defensive coordinator, I'd go with a blitz heavy gameplan to see if Jimmy can consistently beat the blitz and force him to just go to his hot read every time... which is not a foolproof strategy by any means, because that hot read would be Deebo or CMC, and they would presumably have one guy to beat for a big gain.
Also tough, because Shanahan is going to mix it up with screens and keep you guessing with the run game.
It's going to be very interesting to see what opposing defenses try to do.
