I reference the show Shorsey a lot about a d league hockey team. They have three guys (the Jims) whose job it is to just lay the wood on the other teams best player and then they go in the box or kicked out. I’m NOT saying go out and try and break the dudes leg or play dirty. But you know we’re gonna get called on b.s. roughing the passer penalties all day anyway. So let’s make it worth it and let him feel it early in the game. That’s how the Giants beat Tom Brady.
In 2001, the Irish football team were playing the Dutch in a World Cup qualifier. Ireland needed to win but the Dutch were just far better. Ireland had one world class player Roy Keane, then captain of Manchester United. Keane was known for his aggression and in the first minute hacked down one of Holland’s best players. It set the tone, Ireland won 1-0.
Why am I telling this story? Because it gives an excuse to post this and I will happily watch this tackle any chance I get.

It’d never happen, but promote some practise squad player and tell him to level Mahomes with a late hit or two. Take the penalties, get ejected and rattle Mahomes. Then send in Maxx.
