So what ‘thing’ will Belichick try and take away from the Chiefs offense?

[ChiefBlueCFC]

I imagine they will try and take Hill and Kelce away. If anyone can take both of them away, it is probably Belichick. Now, will it work, idk but that is what I imagine they will do along with 0 coverage again. But since he played that card week 6, it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't do it as often but goes to it at times.

It's how they won the first matchup. Mahomes was off and missed wide open throws for easy scores.

Yeah, you could tell he was jacked for the occasion. Don't think that happens this time but it will probably take him a drive or two to really get a feel for BB defense.

Take away the middle of the field and force plays along the sidelines?

Their mojo?

Tyreek is so good at interviews and deflecting credit.

I feel like if they try to double/bracket Kelce AND play zone around him, they're gonna leave themselves some serious gaps in their zones. That's just an impossibly difficult ask of a secondary to fold those targeted brackets into a broader zone concept.

It makes for a ton of switches, etc... that few defenses are able to execute well time and time again. With this offense, a blown coverage is pretty much a gimme first down. Sure, it's the safest way to neutralize Kelce and still attempt to avoid the big plays out wide, but the execution has to be pristine and if it isn't, the result is an easy 20+ yard gain.

The run game is going to be a lot of 3-wide with 11 personnel and Williams on inside zones, etc... We're not going to be able to beat them with power running but Williams has shown such good shiftiness and first step quickness that if you can get the D a little spread out, I think you can use him well between the hashes.

Which is another reason that I think BB isn't going to commit hard to stopping Hill. The more he does that, the more he opens himself up to those inside delayed handoffs and an easy 5-6 yards/pop.

I think BB knows he can't give us easy money, even if it's only a nickel or a dime at a time. He has to make this team earn it through execution and he'll do that by forcing Mahomes to make the harder throws outside and Hill (or Watkins) to make those tougher contested catches downfield.
