Off chance you get an incomplete or a sack and force him into a long yardage situation. |

I think you have to hope he checks out for a bit. The reality is there is only so much mental capacity. That's why it is so hard to repeat. That's why we go ****ing batshit crazy about shit like the Colts game (****ing colts ). I think you have to get into the mental shortcuts that we're all going to take and blitz from a normal starting position. Showing a blitz and then blitzing, you're ****ed unless our tackles suck. Try to fake us out, he'll figure it out, and you're ****ed. I think you need to pick some down in the middle of a drive and go get him. But your best shot is to catch him while he's checked out mentally. Which is definitely a gamble. Similarly, it might be prudent to bail on a coverage late and try to get under a pass to Juju or Kelce. Again, he can't be locked in, or he's going to where you came from. But honestly I'd just try to get home with 4 and hope he's having an off day. |

I'm serious when I say it should be erratic as hell. The point isn't to catch him napping - it's to just try to get him out of sorts. And if there's just no rhyme or reason whatsoever to when you're sending pressure, you might be able to get him thinking more. I'm serious when I say that you show NO pattern whatsoever. You take it completely off the script. You just throw a monkey with a machine gun into the mix and see how shit shakes out. Oh sure, the monkey may turn around and mow down all your guys - but lord, what other choices do you really have? |

What about blitzing him after he's just run for 15 yards?

No QB has faced more man coverage this season. That's interesting. Couple different ways you could take that, i suppose.
1. Mahomes has elevated his game to the point where zone coverages are just getting shredded. Or 2. Teams feel comfortable playing our WR's in man coverage, which could indicate that they're not great at beating it. Or 3. Our run game has become so effective that teams are stacking boxes and playing the run game more often, which could result in the usage of more man coverages. Or 4. All of the above. Mahomes is simply that much better at beating zones, and our WR's w/o Hardman and Hill are that much easier to defend in Man, therefore it's less risky to play man than Zone. And with the added effect of the run game working, teams are finding themselves in more man coverages anyway. /shrug |

You fall into a 'pattern' on your snap counts and cadences and you can eventually start disguising your blitzes. Or if the QB is just a slow processor. But if you have a quick processor, your blitz has to be timed perfectly. And to time it, you've gotta hit the snap count right. And if the opposing O is mixing that snap count up, that makes it awfully difficult. Especially so with the amount of motion the Chiefs include in their offense. It's far easier said than done. |

Either you have elite players in your secondary, or more likely, you have a front 4 that can just get there with no help consistently.

"In five seasons as a starter, his lowest season-long completion percentage is 65.9 percent; his fewest TDs thrown is 26; his career high in interceptions is 13; his career high in sacks is 28; his career low in rushing yards is 218. Without even mentioning Mahomes’s best statistical category—he has thrown over 4,000 yards in all five of his years as a starter—we can put those numbers together as a sort of Frankenstein’s monster of the worst parts of Mahomes’s career: 65.9 percent completion percentage, 218 rushing yards, 26 TDs, 13 interceptions, 28 sacks. Here is a list of every quarterback in NFL history who had even one season that matched or bested the combined worst performances of Mahomes’s career: Lamar Jackson (2019) Josh Allen (2020) Kyler Murray (2020) Mahomes, of course, has reached or surpassed those marks five times in five years. He is a unicorn. He is one of one." |
