Chiefs Offseason: Free Agency Only Five Weeks Away

You’ve changed man… you’ve changed.

Bengals would hate us.

But either rip right past the blocker or shed him and at least collapse the pocket, if not outright penetrating it. But yeah, you need some pretty damn athletic guys like Soap, Raji, Justin Smith, JJ Watt, Mario Williams, Jay Ratliffe. But the DC (can’t recall his name) for the Cowboys under Phillips was using some BIG DE’s to draw either double teams and letting Ratliffe shoot the gaps unblocked, hopefully. Or using the big guys to shoot the gaps square on and just let them use their size and strength to run over or shed their blockers. And Rob Ryan seemed to continue that, basically, last season. I’d just like for RAC to go to more creative attacking D’s with Bailey and Houston coming on.

Yeah, Fangino is a great DC. He had Soap swiveling around and taking a step or two back like he was going to drop back into coverage, and he then swiveling back around and bullrushing into the C and LG and sealing them off while Bowman shot right thru on the delayed blitz off Soaps right shoulder to pressure Eli (but I don’t think he got the sack) in their regular season game.

And then Soap did another similar stunt but shading to the left of the C’s right shoulder, and then bullrushing left into the C and RG and sealing them off for Willis to shoot right past Soap’s right shoulder – and Willis did nail Eli on that play.

Then he has Smith and McDonald shading in or out at 5-tech (you can call it slanting in and hitting the OL’man at angles off the snap, IOW’s). While Aldon Smith swinging out wide from the 7 tech, or powering inside to shoot inside Justin Smith. He had Ahmad Brooks doing the same kind of stunts with McDonald.

Fangio is a Caper’s disciple, as you probably know. Anywho, he’ll use Pickett (or Green) out at SS 5 tech to draw a double team off Raji, and allow him to penetrate past a single blocker matchup. Or line up Green on the WS to draw a double team, and Wynne to rush the from the SS from 5-tech inside shade, and line Raji shaded in the 1i-tech on the C’s right shoulder, to allow both to penetrate.on the SS. Or he’d flip Wynn back over to the WS to rush from the 5-tech on a single blocker.

Now Wade/Bum Phillips would use the skinnier, faster guys to literally lineup right square in the middle of the gaps: like the NT in either A gap, and both DE’s right in the B gaps, and use their speed and skinniness to literally shoot right thru the gaps and past the OL’men hopefully unblocked. Well, ya know … just watch how the Texans do it. ;+) Have a good Tuesday!
