The JPP thing may be a new injury so it remains to be seen whether he plays or not. Imo the ones in most danger of not playing are clearly Whitehead and Brown. It's either gonna be three banged up defenders on the field alongside a back-up safety in place of Whitehead or four banged up defenders on the field if Whitehead plays. I'd be stunned if Whitehead is unable to have contact on a Wednesday and then can hit people on a sunday...I really would be stunned. And the crazy thing is all of these injuries these guys have could flare up with one false move or a big hit.
Will jpp be explosive with his knee contusion?
Could Whitehead hit or tackle with that torn up shoulder?
Can David go sideline to sideline with that hurt hamstring?
Can Winfield cover deep with a bad ankle?
Can Brown run routes properly with a bad knee?
Those are gonna be question marks if all of these guys play. [Reply]
I don't really have time to listen to the entire hour.
his conclusions are we would win 9 out of 10 times, and if the game is a blowout, it can only be with the Chiefs winning. Big turnovers by the Chiefs would be an equalizer. He also thinks Mahomes would be the clear favorite if he played for the Bucs and we had Brady. He thinks we should limit are running game and 2 TE sets and spread 'em out with jet sweeps and quick throws and put pressure on that defensive consistently instead of running into their strength. He gets a lot deeper into the weeds on both sides of the ball and it is a good listen. [Reply]

Well, I agree with pretty much all of that.
They need to take advantage of Tampa's aggressiveness up front. [Reply]

On offense, KC needs to keep TB's defense on their heels. Spread 'em out, plenty of motion/misdirection, run sparingly but effectively, a lot of quick passes, especially early.
On defense, it's simple: win 2nd down. Put TB in passing 3rd downs and we win. [Reply]
If Andy keeps the pedal to the metal when we’re up big and doesn’t go soft and let them back in it (like the last game) we should win by at least 10 and it could be a total blowout.
Their secondary against our passing game is a huge advantage. [Reply]
