Sorry, he helped build a great team.....but his play calling was no good....IMHO, and yes I am entitled to my opinion....so laugh if you must. I AM GLAD HE'S GONE!!!! And I have met him as well as talked to him! He's a very nice man.

where the **** did I say he was the OC in St. Louis? He was part of a Super Bowl offense that was brought to KC along with that Super Bowl winning Coach.

Now he is with the Redskins with only a old back up QB and a WR who couldn't make the team, tagging along.

I've met the man as well....


Yeah, you know, Al Saunders only ran the #1 offense in the league for the last several years. He got Priest Holmes to become possibly the greatest RB in KC history, created the blocking scheme and built possibly the best O Line in KC history, was a huge advocate for Trent Green, and made him a 4,000+ yard passer. All while his offense was averaging over 3,500 passing yards, and 2,000 rushing yards per season while he was the O Coordinator. But his play-calling was no good. :rolleyes:

The "system" was good...no doubt. The play calling wasn't. :rolleyes: backatcha

And what do you have to back that comment up? You state it as a fact. I just threw several numbers at you to back up my statement. If an offense is THAT FREAKIN PRODUCTIVE over that long of a span, the play calling has to be good. Don't just state a comment on here, and not back it up.

You're wrong. That's the bottom line.
Don't give me that opinion crap either, opinions can be wrong, or stupid, or just plain completely ****ing backwards ass reeruned, like yours.

gosh, it must be great to be that opinionated WITH YOUR REP DISABLED!!! If you disagree, cool...wann curse at me....for having an opinion that many agree with....**** off.....

Al Saunders may have been the best OC in the NFL, but that doesn't mean he didn't have faults. And there were definately times when his play calling was bad, most often when he would get away from an effective running attack to inexplicably start throwing the ball. I think he sometimes tried to hard to outsmart the opponent when it wasn't neccessary.

That being said, I can't see how anyone would be glad to see him gone. It's clear he had an overall positive effect on the Chiefs.

Hey, I liked the man, but his play calling was no better that Jimmy Ray's. I believe he is a great football mind....built a great "system" that maed Grbac....ooops Trent look good, but his play calling was NOT good.

I am wondering, if Vermeil helped build the greatest show on turf. Then went on to help build another program that become tops in the league for 4 years. How is Saunders going to do, going off with out much help from those two outstanding offenses?

I'd say for the most part his play calling was pretty good. He just had some bad stretches within games.

Although I think you could argue that a lot of this team's success was about execution rather than play calling. When you have an O-line that performs at the level KC's does, you call just about anything and have it work out well. It certainly makes the OC job easier.

what does the buddy list do?

Wait a ****ing minute....don't AGREE with me..... You are taking all the fun out of this.

I think Saunders is going to excel in Washington, at least for the short term. He has a very solid veteran QB, a RB that will shred in the zone blocking scheme we used with Priest, and a stable of WRs that is 10x what KC had. They also have two solid tackles to bookend the O-line, and an H-back that is everything that Kris Wilson was supposed to be.

It's not like he's walking into an empty kitchen. The cupboard is stocked, he just has to start cooking.
