I've rather have our D force Mahomes into unconfortable situations.  Blitz early, blitz often.  Make him make fast reads or run with his legs.  There's nothing worse that watching a great QB have all the time in the world and just methodically walk his team down the field over and over again.

Let Cisco roam the center of the field, and then blitz from all angles...  Have 1 LB spy and zone read off 3-4 lineups.  Or go nickel D and have a CB spy.  Switch it up.  But it should be constantly showing blitz on every passing down.

Go down fighting.  Make him prove he can play a perfect game under pressure
