They were playing a weird "sticks" shell on longer passing downs I have never seen that allowed the defenders to not have to turn their backs to the QB for the first 7-10 yards which means they could rally to Lamar if he took off. Awuzie alluded to that after the game when he said they didn't want to give away the game plan but they had more eyes on Lamar. What that essentially did was allow them to send pressure and if he threw fast they rallied, if he took off they rallied and they took away the deep shot with the "sticks" off look.
I haven't seen anyone else implement this but I wonder if we will see others try it on him.
I really liked how Lou used Tre Flowers to matchup with Mark Andrews at times. Flowers is that college safety/NFL corner hybrid and doesnt fit a spot but could be a matchup for guys like Andrews and say Darren Waller in a few weeks.
