you are nuts Nostradumbazz..this take is so simplistic it almost defies beliefReally, the only dumber display of defense I can recall is how defenses across the league would play against the the 2017-18 Rams offense. They would play Nickel & just naively line up in a 4 man D-line. Which was laughable...because anyone who watched that Rams team knew that Cooper Kupp and the TE would always double team the DE on run plays & this would create a 5-on-3 mismatch for the rest of the Rams O-line vs vs the remaining D-line. It, laughably, took defenses 2 seasons to simply figure out that you cannot use a 4-man D-line against the Rams.
This is who Trevor Lawrence is to me. He is not hard to figure out. Just take away what he does best. Don't play soft coverage. That's all. He has no change-up. He has no other card up he sleeve. He is a one-trick pony. We know this now. We've now seen how he reacts to press coverage taking away his short passes. i.e. there is no reaction...he's just going to keep doing the same thing. Just don't chicken out like the Chargers did.
