I wanna see

More plays ran for J. Charles and D. Bowe to get involved every drive! They seem to be the best playmakers outside of LJ.

I want K.C. Wolfs' job!

Yep

I want Jamaal in space. Whether it be screens, dump offs, reverse plays, whatever. Use him like Brian Westbrook or Reggie Bush. To me, he’s dangerously underutilized.

Here are my tips coach:

*When you call a run play, don’t make it so predictable. A counter here, a strongside pitch there. We ran it up the middle a lot on Sunday and that got us nowhere.
*Mix up the formations. On 2nd and 3, throw in a 5 reciever shotgun set. Maybe a little Wildcat but don’t overdo it. Miami tried that last week and it didn’t go well.
*Tell the blitzing LB’s to do a KC Strip. Do it in rememberance of DT.

I don't think you can say the offense did ANYthing a lot.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

Oh Mistamic....I gotta say it!

I can’t stand running up the middle anymore. That’s all I have seen out of KC for 4 years straight. Remember the f(&#ing 4th and 1 play opening game against NE?

Larry J couldn’t get us 1 yard…we can’t run up the middle. We suck at it! I was shocked about that. I didn’t expect that really on Sunday. If Haley has shown me one area of his coaching skills that are suspect, it’s his running play design. He didn’t show much in AZ.

That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know how, but I haven’t seen him do too much with the running game.

We haven't really seen Haley call plays the way he wants yet.

In Preseason he didn’t want to show to much, and then he was limited on what he could do with Croyle in the first game. So I expect things to be very different with Cassel back.

Herm is gone things are better with that one move!!

I’d guess Haley fails, and Super Dave becomes the next coach.

stretch em out early.

go deep on the first play and let them know they need to be scared of our passing attack. Mix in some nice counter plays with a few through the middle. (even though our center sucks) pass on first down with quick slants and curl routes. make sure to get passes to Bowe, Charles and Bradley so they know they can’t focus on one guy. Feed to ball to LJ when they aren’t expecting it so he can get taste the blood in the water cuz, that’s when he becomes the most dangerous.

On defense, I would keep it pretty simple. They will be running the ball alot and if we don’t stop it, we are dead. Once we get them in 3rd and long, then we can put some heat on Russell and we can let Flowers and Carr do their thing. I expect we will get a couple of picks this week against Russell. He is really inaccurrate. I mean real bad.

by Chiefsfan1970 on Sep 17, 2009 5:12 PM CDT reply actions

I'd run wide on 'em early. Make 'em pursue and probe them for weaknesses, and mismatches in the big men.

As long as you don’t lose yardage, making that old d-front run more than they want to will pay dividends, and who knows? It might produce right away. But the interior of the D is Chokeland’s strength, right now.

If you MUST run up the gut, I like that play they ran to LJ to start the Baltimore game: A FB and (I think) a TE playing H-back slamming both A-gaps, with LJ behind them. It’s kind of a cool play, because it lets LJ run downhill AND gives him a simple enough choice to make (prob’ly the weakside A gap, behind Waters…

And if it worked, I’d run it again. Then I’d throw a few passes outta that same stupid formation.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

Here we go Haley...Your steps to the playoffs.

1. Get Dion Gales into the DE rotation.

2. Get Lance Long into the slot WR rotation.

3. Line up Bowe, Bradley, Long, with a two TE set. Empty backfield. Shotgun formation. Cassel would thrive in that situation.

4. Run some 4-3 with Hali – Dorsey – Tank – Tyson as your Line and Vrabel – Mays – DJohnson as your LB’s. Just to mix the offense up a bit and give Hali and Dorsey some snaps in their normal positions.

5. Sign a better veteran FB. A guy who can lead block for LJ. I saw Cox miss a key block that a better FB would have nailed.

6. Hire an Offensive Coordinater Assistant to learn the ropes and help draw up plays to ultimately take the position over when ready. Patriots always had young offensive assistants like McDaniels.

7. Dont be biased with Pendergast. If he cant hack it get rid of him. We dont need your friendship holding this team back. Its a business in the end.

8. Have fun…loosen up. Your stress levels during the game make me stressed out. There are times for chewing the guys out but just have more fun.

I don't think Gales or Long are quite ready for prime time.

The only way I can see Gales being promoted to DE is if somebody gets hurt, and I don’t want that to happen. Long has an outside shot at breaking into the lineup, but that’d pose some tough questions on whom to cut. Lawrence? Engram?

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
