Pass rushers, though.
The way to disrupt this offense is the way offenses have been disrupted for years. You've gotta pressure Mahomes and force him to break schedule or go off script. Now that's not a silver bullet, but it'll help in a big way.
Bosa and Armstead are damn good players who can create some serious trouble w/ the line. Smith and Smith in GB are good as well.
That's why I'm ultimately not too worried about the TN defense - no real pass rush threat. Landry's a good player who's ascending but he's not someone who's going to wreck a gameplan. He may get a sack here and there, but he's not consistently blowing plays apart.
Without Cameron Wake to act as a complementary rusher, they're just gonna struggle to get to the QB. And they can't go sending blitzes because Mahomes sees that stuff coming damn near every time now.
Unless Casey just has the game of his life and turns into peak Dontari Poe for 60 minutes, I just don't see them doing much to harass Mahomes. And if that's the case and he has time to work, Kevin Byard won't be enough to save them.
I just don't see how they hold the Chiefs under 31, even if KC only gets 8 possessions.
Guess that's why they play the games...
