Chiefs Expected To Bring Back 'Meat And Potatoes' Offense

sounds good to me but we better add some beef to the O Line.

I would rather see the spread in the offense I kinda knew there was a problem between the two but hey what can I say!! I just think It would of worked with a threat along side Dbowe!!

But why draft a guy like Dexter McCluster? He is the polar opposite of smash mouth football.

We have enough weapons to take a more balanced approach. We are a great running team but we also have the personell with McCluster to get a little fancy at times. Bowe and Cassel have created an on field relationship and that is another weapon.

I don’t see us being that conservative…atleast I hope not. I don’t want to see Charles and Jones run every down right in the gut and then try a pass on 3rd and 9 every time we have the ball. Seen enough of that with LJ!

I guess ‘ol TJ/JC weren’t as bad as some around here think. EP, it’s a wonderful thing.

He’ll, who in the league is balaned? I figured we were already offensively well balanced last season. What will change?

We know Charles carries SHOULD increase! But how conservative is that? We want Cassel to stretch the field, but stretch it conservatively?

The way I see it our team won’t be conservative, it will be aggressively balanced

Seriously, I agree with Chiefs_swagger. We are not going to move away from running the ball or run the ball exclusively. The offense will be very well balanced with a slight influence towards meat and potatoes.

play smash-mouth, why not? That is damned hard to beat if the other team is expecting you to play smash-mouth, game plans for smash-mouth, and then you go ahead and run it down their throats anyway.

Conservatism isn’t a crime.

and sweet potatoes aren’t just for Thanksgiving anymore.

It’s the makeup of KC run maybe a bootleg or pass in the flat, maybe.a lil play action pass but it’s starts with hardnose smashmouth running. And we need a new OT C and dare I say G (waters is old) to be able to to that. Not to mention a new WR threat and a new big bodied RB. JC can’t get more than 5-10 more carries per game he will breakdown waay to fast.

IMO your splitting hairs when you try to make a big deal out of Offensive differences between a running team and a passing team. When you look closer they both do pretty much the same thing. Compare KC in 2010 with Green Bay.

Green Bay finished 10-6; (388 pts scored, 240 pts allowed) it was a Passing team:
56% passes for 4124 yds.
44% runs for 1606 yds.

Chiefs finished 10-6; (366 pts scored,326 allowed) WE were a running team:
46% passes for 2968 yds.
54% runs for 2627 yds.

Green Bay had same regular season record, scored only 1.3 more points /game and only had 8.4 more yds per game. The biggest difference between offenses was that they had 4 dependable WRs to spread ball around to. (Driver, Jennings, Nelson and Jones)

If your gonna find a difference between the Chiefs and a Super Bowl Winner your not gonna find it on Offense. Look to the other side of the Line O Scrimmage.

The 5.4 ppg iis more likely to define the difference between where we are and where we want to go.

…..I’m sure it will be some sort of a hybrid type offense. “The KC Offense” is what it will be called. : )

I love a good running game as much as the next guy, but lining up and playing “smash mouth” offense isn’t the way you beat these top tier defenses. Green Bay spread out Pittsburgh and ran just enough to make the respect it.

I know obviously we aren’t built like Green Bay, but we also aren’t built like the 72 Dolphins either. IMO when we tried to get smashmouth ans run Two Yard Thomas up Weigmans ass, is when out offense was at its worst. Not to mention our best skill position players on offense seem to have speed as their best attribute, not toughness. Want to see Charles and McCluster hurt even more, keep running them between the tackles.

But it doesn’t mean you can’t add some gravy on top of that. Opposing defenses will stack the box and double Bowe, so the only way to counter that is adding more playmakers to the WR corps, which is what Dex was supposed to be. Will he be? Yet to be seen. Cassel has to be a threat to pass the ball to others besides Bowe if we don’t want to see stacked fronts that ruin our meal

Glad they are including the taters, cause there’s not much meat there.

Smash mouth Football…….Welcome back Martyball !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We’ll be even better as these guys mature and we add pieces. We were a top 10 scoring offense this season, and I personally love the smashmouth style. Just because the rest of the league is pass happy doesn’t mean we have to be.

Oh no. Martyball. That won’t work because it didn’t work before. God help us all being subjected to another season of great football knowing that we might not win the Superbowl because it didn’t work in the 90s.

Screw that. Let’s write it off and go with that thing where the oline gets blown up every play and the QB rushes for yardage or throws super deep. That works every time and we definitely have the personnel for it.

We’ll be the exact opposite, because Jamaal can’t be a smash mouth, inside runner. The article is BS, because we’re going the exact opposite way with guys like Jamaal, DMC. Ideally we’ll continue to be a well balanced team, but the spread and wide open offense is both conducive to our personnel, and our Head Coach, and especially to our best offensive player in Jamaal.
