I was Air-Assault for 1 year at Ft.Campbell HOOOAAAHHH!!!

The other 3 years i was at Ft.Wainwright as a Combat Eng. operating a SEE-Tractor. Hella cold, atleast in winter, summers were fantastic.

No Ranger, no Airborne.

But in line with your thinking, i have certainly witnessed turd plans attempt to be carried out by highly capable soldiers that just didnt work because the "plan" SUCKED to begin with.

That was my point. Thanks!

Johnny, you should rise above the "pie" taunts & tell me just what in the world it all means. I'm here all night.

Yet i have just gotten a subtle clue that my request was bad, so proceed cautiously...

I had some straight up bro's in the Rakkasans, still in touch with 1, names Bill Coughlin, he got messed up pretty bad when he stood underneath a tank turret on a winch as repairs were made, winch failed & he took the brunt on a K-potted head, it saved his ability to walk.

But he lost a FULL 4 inches of height over it.

Exactly what I'm trying to explain. The system is not to complicated... everyone in the starting lineup knows the system.

Norv Turner turned around the 49ers using the same freaking system. If it's not to complicated for them, why would is it our team? Is our team stupid? It's an excuse.

Scapegoating at it's finest. Hello HERM!! I KNOW the system works... there is about 4 years of evidence. Losing Will Roaf is NOT an excuse... we didn't get beat by Dwight Freeney... we just sucked.

And this team isn't built for the style of offense that HERM wants to run. This team is built for quick passes/screens/etc.

Here's a question for anybody. If we are going to change schemes, why would we not change offensive coordinators? The only reason Solari was promoted in the first place was because he knew the old system. Now, if we change schemes, which would be Herm's new scheme, none of the coaches on the staff will be familiar with it - and Solari will be a "rookie" with it all over again.

S**t, if you want to change up the offense do it the right way.

Ouch. Poor trooper. I've been ABN/AASLT most of my career. I don't like tanks. They're dangerous!

This should not be confused with me taking Herm's side, but:

If they love Dick Vermeil so much that they'll mail it in the playoffs like they obviously did on Saturday, they DESERVE to be purged.

I heard Lenny Dawson say on 810 this mornign that all that motion and shifting was wasted energy...

Yea it sisn't work for us at all the last few years.

Er...that's a little weird.

Interesting.

Was he talking about against zone defenses? My understanding (albeit limited and this may be well known) is that much of the motion and shifting is used to reveal the man-to-man coverage and expose good matchups for the QB prior to the snap. Against a team like Indy, who stay in zone and never play man, it's useless and a waste. Not sure I'd say it's a waste against other teams.

Who mailed it in? Gretz CLAIMED they did, but Gretz's claims and the reality of a situation rarely overlap.

The information ministry has determined it's better to throw the players under the bus than the coaches.

It is if you do all that just to go run, run, pass punt.

Edwards promises offensive changes for Chiefs
 

So much for the " I'm not no dummy, if it's not broke, why fix it " ? Why would I ? They have been doing alot of good things the past severa years here !l
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK, Herm changed the way you call your playbook to fit the declining talent he had left on offense. He had to after the injury to Trent and the loss of Roaf and other injuries to the OL.

Will he draft back to fix that ? No, he will change the scheme, the style of play and make the players learn something different, something easier to learn for the young kids to pick up.

Don't expect too much in 2007 folks, the offense must learn a new scheme.

IMHO, with Herms and Solari's background, here comes the WC offense back to KC......
