Notable Defensive Players: Suh, JPP, Barrett, Winfield, Davis, Dean
+ Tom is a statue, so we need to generate pressure through the middle otherwise he has weapons and can hit them in the mid-ranges, similar to Oakland last night. He's infinitely smarter than Carr, but probably less talented than the version of Carr we saw last night - or at least on par.
+ TB's receiving talent is right up there with the best in the league. For some reason Evans/Brady have been slightly off, and we'll have to hope that continues. Gronk is a shell of himself, but still a large target that might be difficult for, say, HB, to defend if the ball is placed in the right location.
+ TB's secondary is young, talented and smart, but prone to youthful mistakes. We should be able to confuse them as the game goes on.
+ TB's run game can be nasty, and we need to shut them down early. Rojo is no joke. [Reply]
The good news for us is that Todd Bowles does some incredibly stupid stuff. I hope he does those blitzes that start way back from the LOS because Mahomes would light that up. [Reply]
I am expecting a big bounce back performance from the defense on Sunday.
They are going to hear all week about their struggles, how they are the supposed weak link in the Chiefs’ quest to repeat and they will show up big on Sunday. [Reply]
Gonna need the defense to pull their head out. Tampa has some weapons on offense and if they can't get pressure on Brady, we're gonna need another great one from Mahomes.
Don't need the defense to play great, just do their job and get some stops. [Reply]
