Why does Shanahan never play 5 wide? GB makes it look easy.
Last week vs Seattle everything was congested. Seattle contested every play almost yet we were still in 21 personnel.
Put Kittle and CMC in the slot. Jennings, Bourne and Moore out wide. Spread them out with an empty backfield and make linebackers cover Kittle and CMC with more space. Give him some open options.

Ben Johnson is clearly better than Kyle. only a superior HC would go for it on 4th and 4 from their own 35 with 5 min left in the first half.

Not watching the game, did Chicago convert it? Still would take Kyle as HC.

He's gaslighting. The ones who reply will get the warning or TO. Kind of how it happens in the game. First guy instigates, but the one who responds is who gets flagged.
