VIDEO: Chiefs Offensive Line Breakdown in Matt Cassel Injury

i love how at the end right when Cassel gets handled theres 3 O lineman standing around with there thumb up there ass…our line is terrible, putting it into slow motion makes it even worse…

QQ

just makes me mad to know the 2 guys who have been sucking most on our line couldn’t double team one guy. unbelievable. the baltimore ravens have one of hte best defensive lines in the league. i can see just haloti ngata watching this video going “niswanger and mcintosh, those are the two i have to line up against all game and maybe i can sack the QB every single time”

We NEED to get some help on the O-line, wither that or keep a FB in the backfield at all times to block the dudes that are let through. When given time Cassell can make the throws, he has proven that already. Ndukwe needs to start at either RG or RT, and we need to get another guy in here to do the job. 2010 draft, first round pick either RG or RT.

Where the hell did Albert think he was supposed to go on that play?

Watch the TE get knocked on his ass.

this video ANGERS me!!!!!! grrrrrrr!!!

guy has done nothing positive for us so far. watching niswanger and mcintosh miss that block makes my blood boil i swear. i dont mind waters so much because you know that doesn’t happen to him a lot.

when mike cox blocks mebane and cassel steps up in the pocket – what the hell is he doing? completely just forgets about mebane and doesn’t even care that he’s running free towards our QB? its like cox gives up on the play…jeeeeeeez

god there just standing around and cassell runs right by the o lineman..my god how fuckin pathetic..that is just unfuckinbelevieble!!

If Cassel is dropping back, why is Goff pulling? If they’re setting up some weird WR screen, why isn’t Cassel fading back in the pocket and teh TE releasing to block downfield?

Looks to me like at least a couple people thought it was a run. Anyone remember if Cassel was calling an audible?

Here you get to see how quickly and far back the O-line get moved back.

Within 3 seconds the line of srcimmage had moved back at least 5 yards.

CUT NISWANGER, BIG MACINTOSH AND PROBABLY MIKE COX. I dont get it if i sucked this bad at my jod i wouldnt have one why do they?

last but not least, Matt needs to learn to get rid of the damn ball. we are not the Pats by any measure! Could have been a fucked audible cuz it looks like a screen play.

I BLAME PIOLI. (You build a team starting in the trenches right?)

Pioli royally fucked up on getting us an oline and a NT to play our 3-4. Tank Tyler smokes too much weed and is more invested in his rapping and label than he is the chiefs.

McIntosh.

Can we PLEASE cut his ass. Just cut him.

He is old and slow. I have been saying it since last year when guys were running around him at RT. He is too damn slow.

Get pushed around a little fine but you can’t just let guys run right by you. That makes him about as good as an offensive lineman as me. Not good at all.

If we had the pile of dog shit on the field there is a chance that gy would have slipped in it and Cassel could have stayed in the pocket.

to see all of our linemen standing there looking around while our QB gets injured.

That guy was just executing the play fake. They were faking a run to the left, he pulled as if he was going to run block. He did his job.

It’s up to Waters, Niswanger and McIntosh to wall off the two defensive tackles and give Cassel a clean pocket to step up into to make the throw off play action. They failed miserably, although as I pointed out, I think Waters was unable to get to his man because he ran into a mountain of SUCK!

To me it looks less like a failure than a group that doesn’t play well TOGETHER….

Like they think someone else is going to pick that guy up and it was actually their job…they just aren’t cohesive…

The play to me looks like a simple play action pass. Two WR run patterns and then LJ is in the left flat after the fake. That leaves 7 to block for Cassel. 5 OL, TE, and FB. After the play action, Cassel sets up to throw 8 yards from the line of scrimmage, but the blockers have already given up that much ground!! Seattle only rushed 4 (5 if you count the DB who came on the TE side, although I would not call that a rush because he was not blocked and did not come very hard). The middle and strong side linebackers did not bite on the run fake, the weak side backer filled his gap and wound up trailing LJ into the flat. So in the end there were 5 defenders downfield covering 2 WR. Cassel looks to throw to Bowe running the middle curl pattern when he sets up to throw, but Bowe has not started his break (poor timing because of his 3rd string time?) and the two linebackers probably would have intercepted or tipped that ball anyhow. Good no throw by Cassel I would say.

Bottom line is I am not sure the seven guys left in to block could have kept the four rushers off of Cassel without all the play fake line pulling. Maybe a Keep It Simple Stupid approach would be better for them.

if i was haley id tell him hes demoted to 2nd string, start alleman. just ridiculous, no execution at all that play- its sad.

Since this is preseason…why didnt Matt just go down as soon as he saw the pocket collapse? I hope his injury isnt serious.

That was a major breakdown. Cassel did a great job of reading the pressure and finding a seam. Ugh…I see nobody mentioning #42 (Mike Cox?). He blocks #92 intially but doesn’t sustain the block. Had he continued fending off #92, Cassel could have sprang for a few more yards and eventually slide. What the heck was he doing?

that play had no chance at all holy moses thats bad

Just stick in ICE til it turns blue then tape it up….he’ll be back in a couple of weeks. Hey it’ll give Thigpen more reps with the first team….HE sure can use it!

We’LL put TYler in the front line he’s cheap, and doesn’t have a lot of guaranteed money.

Seattle had a D line stunt going right into the whole created by Goff pulling. That was a lucky break for Seattle and there was probably little chance of this working. I think Niswanger was supposed to cut off the right DT. He was supposed to either get help from Slo Mac or the FB, or perhaps get a chip from Slo Mac and then a block by the FB. I don’t think that both of them were supposed to chase the RDT down the line, leaving the gap for the LDT looping thru the gap. Once he stunts, it’s impossible for Waters to get him, he becomes someone else’s responsibility. So I don’t think Waters gets any of this blame. I think part of the play action was Albert going right. I don’t think he had any fault in this either. I think this one lays at the feet of Niswanger, McIntosh, and Cox for all going after one guy (and poorly at that) and ignoring the stunt coming back at them. Either McIntosh or Cox had to be charged with watching for that, and I’m guessing it was Cox since he’d get the better read. Just my two cents.
