Good point

My 1st thought was Dax or even CBT. 

I like all those ideas. I was thinking more of dropping Sam and Trey into the flats and sending ADG and Hilton off the edges.  Or putting Oassi and Trey on the wide side and pining their ears back going after Mahomes.   Lou will have something.  We will need to be aware of McKinnon sneaking out into the flats for a screen and check-downs.  Reid is going to use McKinnon more to block for Mahomes.

Sometimes it appears as though they forget to tackle as they try to punch the ball out.
