They can make it work if they are disguising their LBs drop-backs and assignments.

We saw BB do that on occasion when he kinda hid a cover 0 look and then bailed his LBs.
But the timing will have to be perfect. They can't do it every snap because Mahomes will get used to it. And they can't do it on snaps where they don't get pressure because Mahomes will pick it apart. But if they do it AND the front 4 gets pressure, it could create perfect storm and yield a crucial turnover or two.

Go watch out match up with them last year. That was one of the biggest depantsing I’ve seen Andy do to a DC in his time here.
It wasn’t very much of Pat being Pat. There were a lot of screens, delays, blocking schemes etc. Andy literally did whatever he wanted to Robert Saleh’s defense and very rarely was Saleh’s defense ready for it.
The talent we have alone is overwhelming for defenses, but I think Andy’s play designs will make it damn near impossible to stop.
And I get it. They didn’t have Bosa or Ford last year, but that’s not the point. Andy just obliterated Saleh and I can’t see that changing with Andy have 2 weeks to prepare.
