The guards have faced better d-linemen than Jones already. The guards have been “ok” so far. Jones is a problem, but the bigger issue is the Chiefs appear to have solid d-line depth like Buffalo. Bills haven’t faced a team yet besides maybe Miami who have several capable d-linemen. 
 

 

"Ok" is being kind to the guards. They were a bit better this last game but they are the weakest part of the team.

Maybe just cover him unlike what the Raiders did?

 

The Raiders only failed to cover him on the 4th of the 4 touchdown catches.  The 1st they tried to cover him in man, the second they tried to cover him in zone, the third they tried to bump him just past the line. They had no success with any of those. The route he ran on the 2nd one, I'm not sure how you defend that.

I’m hoping time together will produce a more cohesive front. IF they struggle against the Chiefs, I wonder if at the Bye they look at shuffling Bates to LG and maybe another option at RG and Saffold moves to BU.

I'd be willing to try just swapping them around at this point.... but I'm not sure either are good enough. I think that is the issue.

There are a few things that we haven't seen a lot of so far in Ken Dorsey's offense and I wonder if he is still just developing his playbook, or if he has deliberately kept some things close to the vest for this game versus the Chiefs this week so he can put some looks on the field that the Chiefs defense might be less prepared for.   Some of the things that we haven't seen a lot of, or any or this year on offense are;

 

Pre snap motion

Jet Sweeps

Empty backfield sets

Singletary and Cooks behind  / flanking Allen

Frequent screen passes

 

Going empty backfield and spreading out (pick your favorite five)  Diggs / Davis / Shakir / McKenzie / Singletary / Knox would be a nightmare for a defense to cover.  Shakir or McKenzie rocketing back into the backfield in motion and faking the pitch or actually taking the pitch from Allen with a full head of steam.   Moving Diggs all over the field before the snap to expose the defense and cause miss matches.  These are some of the things I hope we see more of on Sunday

Good post..I'm wondering if Dorsey took some of this out of the offense or saving it . Dabol made some questionable calls at times but was very creative designing running plays. Haven't seen this yet

Trumaine, Poyer, Milano, Taron Johnson are key in blanketing him. Be physical, we’ve frustrated really good TEs before. Didn’t we hold him down in the regular season last year?

6 catches, 57 yards, 1 TD.... we also used a lot of Siran Neal in the big nickel that day. He played nearly 40% of our defensive snaps.

We need to have someone hitting him when he comes off the line of scrimmage and disrupt their timing along with an effective pass rush to hurry/ sack Mahomes. I would like to see our offense use Cook of some pass routes, short or long.

You can try and hit him off the line, the Raiders nearly knocked him on his ass on a play where he still scored 6.

Our best 5: Knox, Diggs, Singleterry, Davis, Shakir, McKenzie

 

But the shifts with sets having like Gilliam, Cook, Morris is great. Having Doyle is big, too. 

 

Dorsey has been rumored to love the 12 personnel package and I'm going to keep hammering this. We can't truly do this with Moris (though, he's blossoming!) but we can emulate some opportunities.

 

I expect Josh to have a lot of quick throws, a lot of movement with routes and timing, and keeping it more basic than we expected - including pre snap. 

It’s Doyle out for the year with an ACL injury?

Doyle will need to be on sideline.  He is on IR.
