The Chiefs are going to see more zone defenses than any other team in the NFL this year. There just aren’t many, if any teams that can even try to man up their personnel from down to down.
We’re going to see A TON of deep balls. It’s already a known fact that a cover 4 shell means Tyreek Hill is hitting his head on the goal post for six half of the time. A cover 2 shell means Mahomes uses his arm to fit the ball in the C2 holes on each sideline, or he simply tosses it over the ILBs head to Kelce who has a ton of room because the safeties have to get over Watkins and Hill. Cover 3 presents a ton of options.
I can see bringing Bray back for this reason. He has the arm to make the throws (but a nickel brain). I wouldn’t want him as the primary backup, but he’s a fine enough 3.
