More importantly, the deep ball opens up the pass to Dex in the flat. The Chiefs don't even have to be outstanding throwing the ball deep. They just have to be okay at it. Right now, defenses have so little respect for the deep pass that they're loading their entire defense to stop the short shit.

Maybe this has been answered, but I'm not going through the thread. I have it, have re-watched it and cannot see it. First, it's odd how many 3rd and 6's we had. I never saw any belittling on the sideline and I never saw Charles on the sideline away from his teammates. The only thing that could be speculated about, was that Charles was in on 3rd and goal with 7:50 in the 4th quarter, KC was forced to take a timeout and when play resumed, Jones was in the backfield, but it was an entirely different look. Again, never saw anything on the sideline.

The only thing I ever saw on Charles face was on his last touch of the game, 1st and 10 with 5:20 left for a 1 yard gain. Charles got up walking to the sideline shaking his head, but it looked more like it was in frustration that the play was stuffed.

There were 4 more running plays by KC to end the game, all by Jones.

I never saw anything that was an obvious issue with Charles/Mo.

So much for Occam's Razor.

Actually, Keg, the interior of the O-Line has played pretty well thus far, creating seams for Jones, and giving Cassel a pocket to step up into if he had any pocket awareness.

Lilja and Weigman have been upgrades from anyone that played their respective positions last year, and Waters has benefitted from the play to his right.

Albert and Richardson have played better than last year, though I do think there's plenty of room for improvement.
But neither have been the liability that okung'ssacofshit would like us to think they are.

You Missed the Fixed for THIS YEAR part of my post.

And this line was designed to be a light, quick, zone blocking line. Not a "power" line. Just because they are running in the middle doesn't mean they're playing power football. I think the line is fine for this year.

Really.....Matt Cassel is the one true weakness on this team. That and our inability to generate a consistant pass rush.

As far this whole Charles needs more carries thing goes....I agree.

BUT...lets not pretend that Jones isn't doing a good job in there either.

Sac is smoking crack.

Albert has picked up where he left off at the end of last season and Richardson is continuing to make strides. By the end of this season, the tackle position shouldn't even be a question going into 2011.

Think if we had a young developing qb and studebaker turns out like we think he will we could be set and could start adding depth.

I have been impressed with the play of Belcher. He seems to be playing well.

Oh no!!

lol

I agree with this.

On the issue of Charles, while I am in the camp that feels we need to get him more touches, this offense will rise or fall on Cassel.

The Titans were 0-8(?) before Jeff Fisher made the switch to Vince Young at QB, in spite of all the yards that Chris Johnson was compliling on the ground.

Vince Young isn't a very good QB still (yet?), but he did make some big plays that complemented what CJ did on the ground, which helped them to win games.

JC needs more touches, but Cassel needs to produce, or none of it matters at the end of the day.

I'm talking long term - the positions they need to look at in the future are guard and center. I don't think Waters or Wiegmann are going to be here very far down the road. But the idea that they need to replace Albert, or that they should have been dedicating draft picks to tackle instead of the positions they've taken? No way. That kind of crap is why people come "unhinged".

That said I don't think the seams for either back have been all that impressive (thought it was poor against SD, better against the Browns), though I think it's fair to attribute that to the problems with the passing game and not the offensive line. Until Cassel finds some kind of success, we're not going to be able to run the ball as effectively as I think we can.

And I do think we're going to develop problems in the middle of the line this season due to the age and size of the starters.

**** me.

Heh, I think we're all saying the exact same thing, but since it's the planet, we're arguing. LMAO

Barry Richardson isn't Willie Anderson and Albert is not going to be Walter Jones, but they don't have to be. B-Rich can be an above average RT and Albert can be one of the better LTs in the game. That's more than good enough.

If you want to bitch about the OL, bitch about the center play.

But..but Saccopoo says we need an LT?
