Ask Ray Lewis for a dna swab and clone him a few times
I've watched football for a long time and I'm not sure I've seen a better talent at quarterback than Patrick Mahomes.
Besides trying to find the next Mahomes, what would you do on defense to defend these athletic quarterbacks?
49ers defense played kc good for most of games.. if 49ers had more offensive. That games could been different...
Get 11 Mean MFers and hammer his a$$ every time he shows off his athleticism!!!!!Besides trying to find the next Mahomes, what would you do on defense to defend these athletic quarterbacks?
The first instinct is to try and make him beat you with his arm. I would put a spy on Mahomes the whole game but I'd change it up so he isn't sure who's spying. You've got to blitz him and make him uncomfortable but keep your discipline or he'll just run it. Try to knock balls down. He's not the tallest QB so you can knock some balls down. Stop the run is paramount. If the Chiefs are running on you you're dead. Try to win 1st down so he is behind the sticks and finally jam his receivers to throw their timing off. Beyond that, good luck!!
Discipline. And if there's really a movement towards mobile QBs in the coming years, expect the average weight of defensive players to drop a decent clip.
entirely to much for me to try and build it up
