Exactly. They move and disguise, alot. Just like they did against us in week 6. Agree about knowing where Matthieu is. He is their modern day Polamalu, or Darwin James/Jamal Adams (better in coverage) type. Few things Daboll can utilize to help Josh with these reads: 1. Tempo: get up to the line quickly and get the defense to reveal coverages, then audible as needed. We've done a good job getting to the LOS with 15+ seconds left on playclock. this week, it would be nice to see between 15-20 seconds left, with the hope of getting KC to reveal and give Josh enough time to process/audible as needed...to the next point... 2. Audibles/check with me calls: Daboll needs to give Josh and the offense some 2-way audible/play calls, ie: if Josh reads bailing safeties it is a quick run check that doesn't give KC time to audible as well 3. 2 deep vs single high/robber: KC doesn't just disguise well, but they take some gambles bringing pressure and leaving the secondary vulnerable to big plays. In contrast to audibles (point 2), would like some play designs that give Josh flexibility if he gets confused immediately (ie: different route concepts that at least 1 player can be Josh's immediate read). Daboll dif a great job with this last week, having multiple play calls that could beat man or zone concepts. This week, I think its more about beating man, but reading if they take away the middle, deep, or intermediate routes. Josh struggled some week 6 getting to his correct read quickly, I think it ultimately comes down to making 1-2 big plays against their pressure and not forcing any mistakes

One interesting fact...not only is the Bills v Chiefs a week 6 rematch, but so.is the Pack v Bucs. Strange right. We all know Chiefs won our prior match-up, but so did the Bucs. For those who are superstitious, like me, a Pack win early will feed my superstitious confidence...so let's go Pack and obviously Bills

Spags and the KC defense simulate pressure, A LOT! Even the 1st time we played them, they blitzed as you said, but then brought their safeties down and bailed to a cover 2 press man look (Baltimore tried to mimic this against us, IMO). I'm more concerned we figure out the bailing safeties. Best way to defeat that is with a quick hitting run play, while the safeties are flying back. Its tough, makes the Qb want to check out of the run and to a pass when you see 8 or even 9 down in the box. This is why I think we need to run some "tempo", get some snaps at like 15 left on the playclock and then this will help later in the game if we make them show their looks quicker, allowing us to adjust. Also think being under center and running more playaction, and of course mixing in some runs will definitely help. Dropping into shotgun as much as we did against Bmore would be a mistake IMO. Best drive was our opening 3rd qtr drive where we mixed in under center, with thr shotgun looks. Its a copy cat league and I'm confident Daboll will have them ready.

The running game has to be there vs KC this week.

Lol. It did, glitch in the matrix. Still waiting for someone to post what they got on the Motor injury front, haha...or maybe I'll post 20 more times -

You are about the 10th person to imply Motor is injured.....what proof, ue:tweet, quote, what play in the game/time remaining? Otherwise its already getting old -
When is quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck, 99% of the time it is a DUCK. I agree we all.dont know what it is. But ill go with what is more likely, more obvious, and he suffered a concussion. If you want to latch onto a very unlikely diagnosis, which the team doctors would have immobilized or not let him run into the locker room if they thought a pinched nerve, then go for it

Agree to an extent. This works both ways, Chiefs will need to also plan for Mahomes-less offense. Especially with concussion protocol, it isn't like the chiefs can secretly predict how quickly he progresses. They may know 1 practice in advance of us, tops. I'm sure we will have a Henne strategy ready to roll out, if needed

Nobody knows that for certain. If he has a concussion, there are quite a few hurdles with the protocol and the nfl won't be interfering. Now there are 2 other quotes out there: 1. Andy reid: said he was doing well after the game, and said he got hit in the back of head but wind was knocked out of him 2. Glazer said he was told that mahomes injury mimicked a "choke out" situation, reduced blood flow hence unstable limbs. I obviously don't know, but Reids quote sounds foolish. Glazer could be true, but I'll have to say that I have never witnessed this in a football game.

People shot down your take because you stated (or similar to this): that you sometimes have similar issues (legs or limbs numb) when turning/contorting your neck... Nobody knows what thr deal is yet, and the nfl doesn't put mahomes in the protocol. It is a team physician and independent neurologists (hired by nfl).

I've never seen anyone get "choked out" in football, especially in a play that fast. However what it looked like to me, was he got hit in the back of his head (base near neck). Not to speculate, but like boxing, that is very dangerous area to have force applied. This could be a concussion, or other head injury. All we know, Mahomes got up and was super unstable for a few moments. Then ran into the locker room. Mahomes is one tough dude, he tried to come back into the game when his kneecap was dislocated last year too. Concussion/head issues are super volatile, vary person to person. Those side affect symptoms take time to settle in and wear off. We will wait and see, but it is concerning anytime you have a head injury and hope that said player can recover long term.

As a Bills fan living in Steeler country, I agree with your friends point about Big Ben and prior Steeler Wrs. However, biggest difference is Ben vs Allen. Ben has matured over the years, especially since he settled down and had a child, but that guy was a true douche bag. Still has some of those tendencies too. Josh is the complete opposite than Ben, character-wise...and you could say work ethic too, Ben was known to be lazy and be overweight coming into training camp every season. So long story short, not worried about it.
