We absolutely need to open up the deep passing attack if the Bills come out in man coverage. They simply do not have the speed at CB to keep pace with Hollywood and Worthy and it isn't close. Taron Johnson at NB is their fastest starter at 4.50. It'll be bombs over GEHA if they do that.
So, I fully expect them to come out in zone coverage and thats' where you just switch it up to 12 personnel and you make them cover DHop, Gray, Kelce, and Hollywood with regularity because all of them can eat your lunch in zone. If they go into their 3-man fronts to combat this and to keep Mahomes contained, we just need to audible and run it straight up their ass.
They just don't match up well with us with our full gambit of weapons either way. They didn't get that in the first matchup. It comes down to our OLine and just giving Mahomes enough time.
We have to play better defensively this time, though, and that's the bigger worry. We have Watson back, which is enormous, but they also have Kincaid back.
Honestly, we should start Watson and Williams outside and put McDuffie in the slot on Shakir when they go 11 personnel. I think we match their talent best in that configuration. Spy Allen with Chenal/Reid/Hicks all day. I think we should play a lot of single-high in this one when we are in nickel. Make Allen take the lower percentage deep shots instead of taking advantage of the TEs and his legs.
