Thomas Jones At QB, Matt Cassel At WR And The Kansas City Chiefs Flea-Flicker

in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Season

The Kansas City Chiefs got creative offensively in a 31-10 dominating victory over the San Francisco 49ers but the one folks will remember is the flea-flicker.
It wasn't quite Mark Bradley to Tyler Thigpen ala the 2008 Chiefs but it was a good one.
Here is a video of the 45-yard touchdown pass.
Here's how it all went down....
Matt Cassel lined up as a receiver side left and Dexter McCluster did the same thing wide right. Thomas Jones was lined up as the wildcat.
On the snap, McCluster ran left as if it were an end-around and took the handoff.
At this point, the 49ers defense -- specifically safety Dashon Goldson -- stopped and started to creep to the line of scrimmage.
At that point, he was already toast. McCluster continued running left but pitched it back to Cassel as if it were a double-reverse.
Cassel took the ball and with Goldson now more than five yards behind, hit Dwayne Bowe at the edge of the end zone for six.
After the game, Cassel told reporters that being aggressive like that gives the team confidence. "In the huddle," Cassel said, "you can see it in the linemen's eyes. They get energized and excited being aggressive."
And, yeah, double-reverse flea-flickers (or whatever that was) that go for 45-yard touchdowns also get the fan base pretty jacked up.

I kept saying
quit running that stupid wildcat, but then i realized they were baiting them! they set that play up nicely…
Just like novocaine. give it time; always works..
The greater the fall, the grander the ascention..
still no respect on NBC football night pregame show
they said they dont believe Chiefs will make the playoffs this year. Isnt the old saying once is a fluke, twice is coincidence, three times is a trend. I guess we just must me the luckiest team this year to be 3-0.
I guess we just need to beat the Colts before people start taking notice that this team is for real.
Even then, it would be a "fluke"
If we lose, they say we were “exposed”

They showed a stat during the game -

Let them underestimate us.

that even if we lose that game, if we play them tough and do a lot of good things…some more outsiders will start to believe.

different skill sets I think
Eric Berry is going to be a beast is run support first and develop into a solid cover man later.

It's a real shame...
that our Chiefs have no talent & can’t possibly win any games legitimately. We only went 2-0 because of dumb luck & flukes. Chiefs are gonna get killed by the 9’ers……
I’m sooo friggin happy that we won this game & actually showed some REAL talented plays. We won this game and it was beautiful to watch.
F the critics…what do they know

that the Colts will bring the Chiefs back to earth
which is good…we can sneak up on them too!

that would really shut everyone up if we beat them huh….lol
by HeatherChiefsLvr on Sep 26, 2010 7:10 PM CDT up reply actions
Hmmm
This formation has a lot of options in it….Jones with a direct snap and running to the right…gotta defend that, or its a big gain….reverse to McCluster…DEFINATLY got the defenses attention now….McCluster gets outside in open field it could be six in less than 10 seconds…..flea flicker to Cassel and a WIDE OPEN Bowe….I bet this gets a lot of replay time by defensive coordinators for the next few weeks…
Old guys rule...yeah you might have youth and talent on your side...but I have time and treachery...
The Colts will have to spend practice time defending all those options
We need to break out the same formation early in the next game.
If we line up like that but this time McCluster fakes the toss to Cassel and runs it himself, the defense will have to stay back and he’ll have lots of room.
by Offense of the 70s on Sep 26, 2010 8:43 PM CDT up reply actions
I think that Offensive Coordinators
Will be going over it as well. They will be teaching their teams the play. It was a fantastic play. I was like, wow.
Smile, its the second best things you can do with your lips!
I'm sure your right
That formation and play has so many options it is unreal, take a look at the video, and notice where untargeted open Chiefs recievers are, there were actually 4 recievers in that formation and 3 are wide open without a defender within 5 yards of them. McCluster has such a running start on the linebacker that came across to cover him, there is no way he is going to be able to turn and run with him either….beautiful design and solid execution.

B-E-A-UTIFUL.......
Dexter McCluster's 2010 "Broken Ankle" list:
9/13, Mike Tolbert en route to 94-yard Punt Return for TD.
That ball was in the air for 55 yards
Not horrible arm strength if you ask me.
Smile, its the second best things you can do with your lips!

Could there possibly be a play in the play book that’s more F-in incredible than that one?

Who says Cassel can't throw the deep ball Steve!
by TheScootness on Sep 26, 2010 8:27 PM CDT up reply actions
Oh, I knew he could throw the deep ball. It's his accuracy called into question.
But that pass needed no questioning.
by SupremeChief on Sep 27, 2010 8:57 AM CDT up reply actions
We need guys wide open
Play calling will be the key to getting successful deep passes. Cassel isn’t accurate deep, but you don’t need to be when the WR has 12 yards on coverage
I wouldn't say Cassel isn't accurate deep. That pass was 55-60 yds in the air, and a perfect strike to Bowe.
If JC and MC can shore up the O for KC, the OC and HC can stop being PC... and just win the AFC!
Yessir!
And believe it or not, I have already seen posts today that say that this was a poor throw. In addition, the TD to Moeaki was also terrible. The detractors now have so much invested in their Cassel vitriol that they will all be standing together looking at the SB trophy and discussing how poorly he played in the win. They simply cannot let it go. OMG, they couldn’t be wrong could they. LOL. It all starts now.
"You gonna pull them pistols...or whistle Dixie?"
When we were leaving the game yesterday
Someone actually came up to me (I was wearing my Cassel jersey) and said, “HEY WE’RE BURNING CASSEL JERSEY’S IN LOT F3 (or whatever lot it was), MAKE SURE YOU’RE THERE!”
and I was like, “Maybe when we’re not 3-0 and after a game that Cassel didn’t just throw 3 TD passes.”
"Wow! Eric Berry can do anything!"
Wow
I about crapped!
1. Matt hit an open target
2. Bowe got open
3. Bowe didn’t drop the ball
Holy crap! I could really get to liking this!
You Play to Win the game!!!
