That worries me a bit. I can see them trying to slow us down with that tactic. If they are light in the box, then we need to run the ball and use the PA game. KC went away from the run game and forced Mahomes into trying to make plays against that muddy zone and it backfired big time. Andy Reid was not patient. I think McVay is more inclined to use the run game. And maybe DH is the wild card in getting chunk plays out of the run game? It sounds like he might be active. Also, DH is our best receiver out of the backfield so he could make something happen on a checkdown vs zone coverage.
I don't think that you need to be worried.
If the 'gals try to employ that defense, I think that we'll run on them like we did against the Cards and pick our spots with the pass. McVay has now proven that he will run the ball consistently if that is what it will take to win. I believe that both Michel and Akers are in for big days if Cincy goes down this route. I, personally, think that they will be forced out of it rather quickly.
