I love how some people are saying that Tampa will take Tyreek away this game so he doesn't go off like last time. With the obvious nod to the fact that a historical game like he had last time is not likely, he'll still be a monster. Teams have been trying to take him away all season and they just can't do it. He's to fast and to good. [Reply]

Double him no matter where he goes, that's fine.
Double Kelce wherever he goes as well, that's fine too.
Watch Hardman and CEH feast on all that open space all day long. [Reply]
They won't be able to double both of them all game. The easiest thing Andy does to defeat that is to line both of them up on one side of the formation wide. Can't have both safeties on one side of the field with the speed we have in Hardman, Watkins, Pringle, etc.
Another is line up Reek wide, Watkins and Kelce right next to each other in the slot. Andy does it all the time, and it destroys the 'double Hill/Kelce' concept.
Bowles will try it when KC lines up in a more traditional formation, but Andy has too many ways of making it unrealistic/untenable. And that's just with the formations we're used to seeing. Guaranteed that Andy breaks out some formations we haven't seen ever, or since Alex Smith was QB. Some of them probably won't work, but plenty of them will. [Reply]
