From the episode

The way that they're going to mitigate some pressure and blitzes, to me, is lower average depth of target stuff. I think we're going to have lower average depth of targets for the receivers, for specifically the running backs

Mahomes may rely on YAC and lower aDOT passes early in the season due to injury.

Coming off an injury, Patrick Mahomes may not be as mobile early in the season. The source expects the Chiefs to mitigate pressure by utilizing lower average depth of target (aDOT) passes and relying more on yards after catch (YAC) from playmakers like Kenneth Walker, Emmitt Johnson, and Brashard Smith.
