Man, Chris Simms is good at this. The gap between him and his dad as an analyst is as big as the gap between his dad and him playing QB (and Phil is a hell of a lot better analyst than Chris was QB).
Love that comparison of what the Packers tried to do to the cover 3 to what the Chiefs can do. (Also: on the play from the Titans game they broke down, if the S sits at home on the seam route by Hill, Hardman gets over the top to the corner for a TD. They were boned either way).
It makes you wonder if the 49ers end up deciding to play a lot less cover 3 than normal to better deal with the matchups. That would be a big advantage Chiefs, IMO. Any time you make a team play something other than their bread and butter, it's a win, IMO.
Pointing out the running room is a huge thing, too. When they're reading cover 3, seems like KC can open some huge scramble lanes for Mahomes by pushing the outside rusher outside. Especially when they're running a twist or stunt.
