100%. To try and do anything else against their rush would be a mistake, IMO.
There will be opportunities to hit big plays at times, especially with KCs speed to create YAC. But for the most part Patrick is going to have to take what they give in the short to intermediate areas. Good news — that’s exactly what he did last year and this preseason against their scheme.
