The two-high then creates the numbers they need to put LBs in conflict with RPOs.
Belichick talked about this. 11 personnel with 3 receivers condensed provides an extremely difficult assignment bc of the Chiefs speed and Andy’s play design.
Making those guys think is what’s hard for rookies like Quinyon/DeJean.
Hollywood/Worthy alone will force Fangio to play cover 2 as his base defense to prevent the big play. Andy is gonna destroy him in the middle of the field bc at that point it’s 5 vs 5 in the first 10 yards and 2 of those 5 defenders are LB’s.

Huge mismatch
This doesn't even factor in that their safeties get super wide on the hashes leaving Kelce on LB's with a lot of space. [Reply]
They've been bored because they've been waiting for this ****ing game. He's better than that.
And 38 points would be by far the most we've given up since Super Bowl 57. More actually than even that game.
That's a non-sense, bullshit prediction from a guy who knows better.
Back to back champs with a 17-1 record of which the one loss was avenged therefore our guys have defeated every team they have faced this season and this is how little Chris Simms thinks of this team? It's shocking but let him keep talking and hopefully it just adds more fuel to the fire. [Reply]

Chris Simms makes his pick official and it's no surprise because he's glazed that team harder than anyone ever has glazed a team before. What's interesting though is most media folks are overwhelmingly picking KC. Mike Florio, Mina Kimes, Ben Solak, Woody, Greeny and most of the ESPN folks. It's been shocking tbh. Tomorrow there will be more predictions but right now it's about 98% KC and even Ben Solak said to Mina kimes on her show at the superbowl media convention.."90% of everyone I talk to are picking the Chiefs".
In the end it means nothing when the teams get on the field but folks are certainly seeing a difference between these two teams. I just think experience is gonna matter and us going into Buff, Baltimore and playing San Fran last year is as tough as it gets and we prevailed. Our guys know what it takes to win on Sunday.
Just absolute hyperbole. That's surprising from Simms. He's generally better than that.

Defenses like this that are over-aggressive rather than two-gapping usually bode well for our run game. It's the DLs that are content to clog shit up for 1-2 yard gains that give us problems. Because those groups can play the run while letting their LBs be pass-first against the RPO.
Yeah, I'm watching Rams-Eagles condensed on YouTube right now. The Rams ran a decent amount of traps and took advantage of that.
They really ran the ball effectively with Kyren Williams and power concepts from single back and 12 sets.
Hmm. I wonder if the Chiefs would like to do that. Surely NOT! [Reply]

Heard someone speak about how Andy may run some to get big guy Davis on the field then go hurry up so Eagles can't drag him off quickly on passing downs. They said that will mess with the Eagles front.
Another interesting note is most of the Eagles defense has never played in a superbowl. [Reply]

I've rarely ever seen Andy run hurry up. I doubt he does it on Sunday. [Reply]

You clearly didn't watch the game if you don't think the field conditions were an issue for the entire game. Puke Nacua was getting open then slipping or dropping balls he otherwise wouldn't have. [Reply]
