Arrowheadlines: Chiefs News 12/19

PrintGood morning everyone. I'm handling Arrowheadlines duties today and there are a lot of stories about your Kansas City Chiefs beating the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Enjoy today's Chiefs news.
The descriptions of Crennel are a general sketch of what owner Clark Hunt and general manager Scott Pioli say they want in a head coach.
Crennel treats everyone with respect. He is obsessed with details, with fundamentals, with the kind of preparation that means the Chiefs know their opponents better than the other way around.
Crennel makes his own decisions (Orton found out he was starting Sunday's game before Pioli did) without being insubordinate. He gives credit to his players first, his assistants second and himself never.
The Packers' 19-14 loss to the Chiefs was the perfect storm of things that could go wrong. Though the game plan of Chiefs interim coach Romeo Crennel will be closely studied, the Packers' loss can be attributed to two things -- the inability to beat man-to-man press coverage and poor pass protection as a result of injuries.
"Kansas City had a great game plan and got it done," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "The Chiefs pressed us from the time we got off the bus."
Often times rushing with only four or five, the Chiefs committed to playing coverage. They shaded their safeties to help cornerbacks Brandon Carr and Brandon Flowers on the perimeter. When they left the middle of the field open, tight end Jermichael Finley couldn't make them pay often enough. Rodgers threw his way 10 times, but Finley caught only three of them. He had 83 yards after getting shut out against the Raiders, and his 41-yard catch in the third quarter helped set up the Packers' first touchdown, but his day could've been much better.

Winning is fun, especially when it interrupts a potentially historic run toward perfection. But in this case, it's not that simple. Now what should the Chiefs do? Bring back Orton, who will be a free agent after this season? Pay Matt Cassel another chunk of a $63 million contract for a fourth season with the Chiefs? Or maybe draft or sign a newcomer, looking toward the future instead of the present?
This is a tough one. But Crennel said Sunday afternoon that there's a way the quarterback matter could be resolved quickly, too.

"I didn't see a bunch of guys running around talking about 16-0. That was my sense of it," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "We knew what type of game we were coming into today. This was no surprise. It wasn't just talk. We answered the questions all week.
"We knew we were coming into a juggernaut and we didn't overcome it."
Green Bay, playing without leading receiver Greg Jennings and top rusher James Starks because of injuries, can wrap up the No. 1 seed in their final two games against Chicago and Detroit. But the Packers no longer have the pressure of becoming the second team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl with a perfect record, or extending the second-longest winning streak in league history.
"I think our goal ultimate goal is to win a Super Bowl. The next step is getting that No. 1 seed in the playoffs,'' Rodgers said.
They followed Crennel's plan almost perfectly, they ran the ball effectively to keep the clock moving and the ball away from the high-scoring Green Bay offense and they pressured quarterback Aaron Rodgers most of the afternoon to keep him out of his comfort zone.
The Chiefs also didn't commit a turnover for the first time since an early October win over Minnesota. The quarterback Crennel installed this week as a starter, Kyle Orton, simply played a near-flawless game.
But the Packers, who were three games from matching the 2007 Patriots as the only team in NFL history to go 16-0 in the regular season, were quick to shrug off the defeat's significance.
"Really, what is disappointing to me is that we didn't clinch home-field advantage," said Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy, a Baker alum. "That was always the goal. I personally always viewed the undefeated season as really just gravy."

Now Succop, a third-year kicker from South Carolina who made all four of his attempts Sunday, has converted 21 straight.
In fact, he hasn't missed a kick since pushing a 38-yard try wide right in a 20-17 loss Sept. 25 at San Diego and is one short of the franchise record of 22, set by Pete Stoyanovich in the 1997-98 seasons.
Chiefs Buzz | Players had faith beating Packers was possible | KC Star
The Chiefs will want to make certain that Sunday's performance wasn't a fluke and that the team continues showing progress under Crennel. It might not even matter if the Chiefs win one or both of their final two games; improvement will be the primary barometer. As long as Crennel's team isn't blown out against Oakland or Denver, though, he'll remain the frontrunner.
Could you have scripted this win any better as the new head coach? "As it turned out it was a great script. Wins are always good in the NFL. I don't care how you get them. If you can win that's a positive and we feel good about the win."
Did you have an advantage having faced this team already this season? "It is always better to be able to see a team twice. Having said that they beat me the first time. That's a good football team. They have a great chance to win the Super Bowl. We are happy we played together as a team. Our coaches coached great and we got a big win."
On giving Romeo Crennel his first win as head coach for the Chiefs: "We want to play hard for this guy. We've been through up and downs as a defense, but he's a great guy. He always stays positive. He's a guy we want to play hard for. With him being a head coach, the offense felt the same way. We just want to keep winning for him."
"Change is good, but at the end of the day you got to give credit to the players," Johnson said. "Coach Romeo Crennel went out and told us that nobody's going to believe that you can go out and win this game, but we believed in this room. That's all that matters and it shows today ... our mindset changed.
"Of course Kyle Orton did a great job and was a big part of the win. I'm happy he's on our team.
By all accounts, Orton's leadership style went over well in the Chiefs offensive huddle.
"How do you think it went," G
Ryan Lilja asked jokingly. "I'm looking up at the video boards during breaks and he's Mr. Fantasy Football. He was just lighting it up." Orton takes control of huddle in first start with Chiefs | KCChiefs.com
First, Romeo Crennel received the traditional Gatorade bath. Up next came the hugs - lots of them. Once Crennel reached the Chiefs locker room, the chants broke out.
"Romeo...Romeo...Romeo."

I think i am..
hard not to be after a game like that. I love it when my guys are underdogs and we pull out the win!
"It's still real to me dammit!"
That's what we have to watch
Can’t get too high after this. After all, this team is very capable of ripping our hearts from our chest in the next two weeks.
I’m approaching the next two games with cautious optimism for next season. If Romeo can get this team to play well (I really don’t care about wins), just play WELL for the last two and show progress, then I’ll be convinced that he is the guy to lead the Chiefs. If the team comes out and reverts back to the shitball team that they were, then we may need another direction.
Great win yesterday in a seemingly impossible situation. That being said, I don’t think the team has changed their overall stripes just yet.

Ill be half way to drunk by breakfast ha
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
I'll tell you right now
If we get to the playoffs by a miracle this year, we’re making a run. Just like I said we we’re gonna beat GB, i’m telling you if we get in AFC teams won’t want to play us
This defense is on the cusp of greatness
We all feel it. We just need an offense that can control the clock and make plays. I feel like Orton can do exactly that with the players he has around him.
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
It wouldn't be unheard of
To have a big letdown game after such an emotional win. But I guarantee that Kyle Orton will do everything to beat Denver in Denver. He has week 17 circled already as payback against a bunch of fans who spent the last two years giving his backup more love than him.
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
Agreed
But can the line play well for more than one game? That’s my concern. Orton was very good, with room to grow yet. The line and running game scare the crap out of me. And I’m still wary of the D’s ability to consistently stop the run and pressure the passer.
Yeah, our O Line will have a hard time (again) against Doom and Miller
That’s a nasty pass rush.
Still, if anyone has motivation to shove a foot up the Broncos’ (and their fan base’s) collective asses, it’s Orton.
Foxtrot Alpha November - Sierra Hotel Oscar Tango!
Very true.
Got to make them fear the pass enough to pin their ears back, first.
Foxtrot Alpha November - Sierra Hotel Oscar Tango!
TJ HAS to start scoring on those
His old ass needs to get in the paint. That makes 2 or 3 times this year he’s failed to score at the end of big runs and cost them points.
Shared blame on those
Our O Line has to get push down inside the 5 on those runs. We weren’t getting push, and TJ likewise wasn’t making anything extra happen.
Plug in Amon Gordon at FB like we did with Shaun last year and have Deep Freeze 2.0?
Or let Powe do it. That’d be a load to try to stop on the goal line.

I can't help feeling that way
Chiefs fans have been conditioned to expect the worst. I want to have optimism but it gets hard not to be skeptical sometimes.

Wow... Just wow
So I’m in Mexico on my honeymoon and tracking the game on the wifey’s iPad poolside. Of course I end up missing the most monumental win of the season. Either way, I’m ecstatic about the performance of this team. The offensive play calling was solid and it makes me wonder if maybe Haley was the chef that was spoiling the soup.
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
Agreed
I feel like maybe Pioli kept trying to fix personality conflicts between employees before realizing that Haley was the only common variable in all the cases. A lot easier to fire one guy than your whole staff. Congrats on the marriage BTW!
You know what this means right?
You have to stay in Mexico, poolside…Until we lose

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
What a difference a QB makes
Way to saddle yourself to Palko, Todd.
Oh, and anyone else notice that Muir’s playcalling was pretty sumbitchin good without Todd around to fuck with it?
I think that may have been Zorn calling plays
and Muir was focused back on the oline because both were doing better than usual
Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories.
If that was the case, Muir needs to take his old job back.
If Muir is that good of an O-line coach, then that’s where he needs to be. Personally, I’d like to have a new guy in the booth calling plays and let Zorn and Muir focus on what they’re good at.

… and Orton on the sidelines when the D was on the field, going thru things with WR’s
Zorn’s contribution was staying out of the way

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
Or perhaps, it was just NOT having Haley involved in the plays?
I only saw one stupid WR bubble-screen type thing yesterday and it was pretty effective – usually we see like 7 of those a game and they’re often terrible. Also missing were some other stupid plays that always get called – McCluster inside sprint-draw?
I don’t know if it was just me – but it seemed like a lot of plays were called that I don’t see often, and some of the typical ones that make me scream at the TV were not.

One thing to add.
If we end up resigning and starting Orton next season, this guy is going to be a great fantasy football value pick. With jamaal coming back, a full offseason to work with Bowe, Breaston, Baldwin, and Moeaki, and his track record as a starter on teams with few receiving weapons, he could put up some monster numbers on this team.
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
Great win yesterday!
To be fair, we have seen it time and again.. Once a team loses their head coach they go out and pull out an upset. Im not taking anything away from Romeo and the Chiefs, but emotions were running high this week (with fans too) and I think that was a big part of it. I am still one of the Haley supporters, but what is done is done. I am ALL for giving Romeo this head coaching job. The players really seem to support him and he might have the coaching temperment that this team needs to win consistently. Romeo has my vote!
"It's still real to me dammit!"
Let's wait on the coronation
until we see the last two games. If this team comes out and lays some steaming turds the tune might change.
The tune WILL change

True, but you gotta have a little more optimism now than you did before.
This team finall y looks legit.
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
Not "legit" per se
More like “progressing”. This team was set up to get destroyed after their first three trips into the redzone yesterday. Thankfully, the GB WRs had the dropsies big time and they could never get in rhythm.
They looked much, MUCH better yesterday. Let’s be careful not to say they are “legit”.
Obviously scoring tds in the red zone is critical going forward
But getting into the red zone five times, controlling the clock, and setting the tone are all major steps. And against a team like these packers, the way this defense played was nothing short of inspired.
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
The defense is legit
The offense, in the hands of a competent and savvy qb like Orton is closer than you think
Tebow might know Jesus, but Bill Muir is old enough to have actually babysat him in the manger.
They aren't "legit"
Improving is where I want them to be right now. Improving while losing would likely be best for this team and their development, but I don’t want to get into the whole “You fucker! How do you root for your team to lose?!?!?!?” argument.
Too many holes to be “legit”. They played well yesterday. One game doesn’t crown them for a season.
OMG! A real fan would never say that!
And uh…PERIOD! and maybe a ’NUFF SAID! for good measure.
There, I’ve met my obligation. Carry on.
Foxtrot Alpha November - Sierra Hotel Oscar Tango!
GB receivers got jammed at the line and were covered well.
Rodgers had pressure all day. Damn. Give the D some credit for those “dropsies” Most of those throws were off target (not bouncing off anyone’s chest) and Cassel would be roasted here for the same throws.

Chill the fuck out, man. They played well, but c’mon. How many balls have to hit the hands then the dirt? Hell, Jones had one that never even hit his hands. The defense was good, but with GB hitting on all cylinders, KC gets beat yesterday.
RAIDERS FAN!
And we’ll throw in a “HATER!” for good measure.

Very true
I think the Red Zone problems will be worked out, especially after Orton gets another couple weeks of practice in.

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
I agree
but we should have had more points in the redzone just from the fact that we were stopped on a 4th down play when we should have kicked a FG and should have went for the next one instead of kicking a FG. Thats 7 more points just right there. Again.. we can nit pick all day long, but we got the win and i dont care how we got it..
"It's still real to me dammit!"
I do, actually
the process is important to me. This team finally showed signs of improvement. I’m satisfied with that…for now. I don’t care if they lose, as long as they are playing well and showing growth. We got a lot of both yesterday. Now, they just have to keep this train on the tracks.
The reason for this win was the QB
We got 18 first downs from passing. Gave the defense time to rest and gameplan further. If Orton had chemistry with these receivers this game would have been a rout. DBowe is a beast in the red zone and Orton didn’t even look his way, they’ll build that.
Honestly I don't think it was all Muir calling a great game
Orton went through progressions on several plays. It was the execution more than play calls
Whatever it was
It was better…MUCH better. I think it’s a result of coaching and I think Todd was a dirtbag that was screwing up the process.
All I know is
Everything that happened yesterday points toward Haley. I appeciate that Orton is head and shoulders better than Palko but, it sure seemed like the entire team was just simply better. Even the pass protection was better. It was like the team was almost relieved or something.

I don't think it was Haley being a dirtbag
I think he was just trying to do too much. Over-coaching.
When you have talent on your team, sometimes you just have to put the players in a position to make something happen and let the win come from on the field, not from the sidelines.
You don’t always have to have a crazy formation, then motion a guy, re-set him, then motion another – then move him back. all while letting the play clock run down and never giving your QB a chance to read the defense.
Sometimes you see that the coverage is leaving a seam open and a post route will exploit that, get you 15 yards – you move the chains and head on.
If the LB’s are a little sluggish in coverage or passing off too early underneath, send Breaston on a drag route and reap the rewards.
Sometimes you just let the players make plays. And I think some of that got lost with Todd trying to super-strategize.
Foxtrot Alpha November - Sierra Hotel Oscar Tango!
Then he was the problem
Just like he was super-strategizing in the pre-season…that worked out so well for the team after all.
Oh I agree, if that's the case then he was definitely the problem.
Had a similar thing w/ my HS basketball team. Had three players who were all conference, and one of those all-region. Coach insisted on a high-movement “flex” style offense first and foremost.
No matter what, run the offense. Look for layups generated by the all-motion (more complicated than it needed to be) offense!
That often came at the expense of just getting the ball into the playmakers’ hands and maybe setting them a screen. It was frustrating.
Finally took the shackles off and we lit people up. Go figure.
Foxtrot Alpha November - Sierra Hotel Oscar Tango!
And again - I'm not stating as fact that that's what Haley did, and that he was 100% of the problem
But if (and this is just semi-educated guessing on my part, based on observations) that was the case, then moving on was a wise choice.
Also, having Orton helps.
Foxtrot Alpha November - Sierra Hotel Oscar Tango!
Orton was HUGE yesterday
No way to discount the importance of an actual QB in the game. Funny how Palko was inactive…obviously Stanzi IS ready. Strange.
Just watching Orton's throwing motion and release back there, it was just so much more fluid and natural looking
Again, I like Cassel. I think he’s a great guy. But his mechanics have always been a little awkward and slow. That’s not a deal breaker, because Rivers has an even more awkward looking throwing motion, but his release is crisp and he just throws a much better ball.
I’m not going to anoint Orton as the next great first ballot HOF QB. But on the eye test, he looks like a much more natural fit for the position of starting QB for an NFL team than anyone we’ve had since TrINT.

Hey if we get in someone who is good enough to beat out Orton
Awesome, we’re even better off.
Foxtrot Alpha November - Sierra Hotel Oscar Tango!
I can dig that.
What I’d like to see us do is trading or cutting Palko and then drafting a QB. Then we can see what Cassel, Stanzi, Orton, and the kid can do before making a decision at the end of pre-season.
Proud Bronco and Raider Hater since 1980.
I noticed this as well..
Seemed to be the same plays, just executed much better. I’ve never seen Cassel go through his progressions with that kind of poise the way Orton did yesterday. I hate to jump to conclusions, but it’s clear to me that Orton needs to be re-signed and Cassel let go in the offseason.
It is so nice to actual hear "The Chiefs flat out out-played" somebody
I don’t know if I have heard anyone, “expert” or otherwise, that has uttered the usual sentiment of, “The Chiefs didn’t win, the other team just lost it.”

The real dilemma:
What the hell does this team do with Bill Muir? Yesterday’s Offensive game plan, and play calling for the most part, were superb. Better than its been all season. Does Muir stick around, or should the team get a younger talent in there (Sirianni finally? or is he too much of a Haley guy?) as a HC of the future?
Valid point

LOL
Max: Two days ago, I saw a vehicle that would haul that tanker. You want to get out of here? You talk to me.
I hear what you are saying
but you cant single out Muir as a Haley guy because all of the coordinators were Haley guys until last week. We need a new OC and if Muir is ok with I would like to see him stay with the offensive line.
In a perfect world I'd love to see everything stay in house
Romeo as the HC, a combination of Zorn and Muir running the offense (OC, QB/OL coaches, however you want to tag them) and then Emmitt Thomas or another strong member of the team as the “official” DC but with the knowledge Crennel was still running it.
In house is rarely the best option
It’s kinda like in-breeding. Eventually you end up with retarded kids.
I'll defer to the site's stat man,
was yesterday’s win accomplished without getting any turnovers?
by BCRavenJHawkfan on Dec 19, 2011 8:42 AM CST reply actions
NFL.com says no
2 fumbles in the game, both by GB and neither were turnovers.
0 INT’s in the game for either side.
Foxtrot Alpha November - Sierra Hotel Oscar Tango!
My only compliment to Haley
is that his players were in shape. There was no Club Herm going on with players coming in overweight and lazy. My fear is that a new coach will come in and not demand the same. Anyone know how RAC’s teams were in Cleveland in that sense? I know he had some bad teams but looking at the QB’s he had there would explain a lot of that. We have some talent on this team, I would hate to see them going back to be fat and lazy.
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
7 penalties for 55 yards
I’d love to see that cleaned up. That’s the stuff that will kill you come playoff time. (Though that’s still a longshot, it’s less long than it seemed two days ago)
Foxtrot Alpha November - Sierra Hotel Oscar Tango!
A lot of that happened on Special Teams too.
ST were kinda sloppy there in the middle. We need to work on that. Also we need to figure out the personnel issues so we don’t burn through time outs like we did yesterday.

GREAT QUOTE from McClain!
"Nothing against (Palko) or (Cassel), man, just — Kyle is a new beast out there with us," fullback Le’Ron McClain said. "He ran the whole game on the sideline, coming to us on certain plays, telling us in the huddle — boom, boom, ‘Just get open for me right here.’ "
Yeah, loved seeing that in that article.

“The Kansas City Chiefs outplayed us,” McCarthy said. “We were beaten.”
How long has it been since we’ve had a coach of a good team say something like this. I’ve been a Haley fan and still am, I think the biggest difference was having a real QB running the show. It’s going to be very interesting to see if Orton can duplicate his performance the next couple of weeks. If he does, the decisions coming out of 1 Arrowhead Dr are going to be a lot simpler to make.
