In fairness, though, there were far too many games when the offense started with quick 3-and-outs, giving the defense no time to gather itself and concoct evil plots against the QB.

Offense might hit a couple, but you're going to get your share of Pick-6's out of that little guy who can make plays on the ball, especially if he's a good tackler (like Flowers), who can perform x-ray attacks against the run when he blitzes.

Let him play in space without giving away an obvious physical mismatch by bringing him up in press (at least not very often). I always wanted the Chiefs to do that with Mighty Mouse, a few years back. Put somebody big enough to intimidate the WR physically, at the line, and sneak that little guy in over the top, with both the receiver and the QB in his field of vision, while the jamming safety blitzes or plays run after the jam.

On-topic: Chiefs will need to come up and press more (in ordere to please ME). You do NOT give up your DBs' ONE shot at the WR for free. If that means using a Jarrad Page up in apparent press coverage, so be it. I keep talking about inverted cover-1 and cover-2, but nobody takes me up on it. Flowers would be a big threat playing the deep 1/3 in the 4-3 under, in a scheme that let's him see the whole field. Donald Washington would fit that, too. The kid has great field vision, and, even if only as a changeup, I see the Chiefs getting a lot of mileage out of inverted coverages.
