I doubt it.

This is the first 4-man front we've faced and those are different animals. I wouldn't expect that Andy will want to put that much strain on either the OL or on Mahomes having spent the last 2 weeks gameplanning for a 3-4.

If we'd have played a bunch of 4-3 squads, I'd say all bets are off. But this early in the season while the OL is still gelling and the QB still learning, going empty against a completely different front is a recipe for confusion. With as poor as we (still) are against stunts/twists, the blown up formations seem a little too aggressive.

I'd bet the gameplan is similar to the SD gameplan in that it just allow for a little more help in the event of a protection mixup.
