Again, some of you are missing the point, that regardless of the number of times the opponent was running the ball, the Texans were allowing huge chunks of yardage PER CARRY.

They aren't doing that now.

we are, we are!!!

**** mike brown!!!!

I haven't ran the numbers, but one of them pmd me saying they are the #1 per carry rush defense since he broke the starting lineup at less than 3/rush.

What sucks is that we could have drafted him in the 3rd round.....possibly later, and not have reached to him with a 2nd.

Which means it doesn't matter is they ran the ball 20 times or 40 - they are still only giving up 2.7 (or whatever the exact number is) PER CARRY since his placement in the lineup.

Had I said that they haven't allowed a 100-yard rusher since his arrival, you'd have a point.

YEAH i realize that, but less runs= less chances to break a big one. and most rushing yards are accumulated in the 4th qtr after defenses are worn down, do you not realize that?

according to nfl.com the longest runs have came from the 1st and second quarters this year.

That's a huge leap.

Like I said, look at the Tennessee game. They only ran the ball 22 times, but got 10 yards per carry.

If you want to bury your head in the sand and not acknowledge that allowing 2 yards less per carry isn't a significant achievement, go right ahead.

Christ, people here want to claim that the Chiefs run defense is improved over last year, and they are allowing .6 of a yard less per carry from last year.

People are so hard pressed to take a shit on Haley/Pioli that they're willing to sing the praises of a POS like Pollard. Ridiculous, but expected, from the same ol' nancies.

Yep.

I'm not going to spend all day proving him wrong, but here's what I've found about the Top 5's 4th quarter stats:

Benson: Least yards in 4th quarter compared to 1st-3rd.

AP: Most rushing yards in 4th.

Jackson: Least yards in 4th quarter.

T. Jones: 2nd lowest compared to 1st-3rd.

C. Johnson: Least yards in 4th quarter.


So, 1 out of the top 5 rushers have more yardage in the 4th quarter than any of the previous 3 quarters on the year - and 3 of them have their lowest totals in the 4th quarter.

Are these the same teams that don't kick or pass the ball as well, or are you talking about soccer?:spock:

No one's "hard pressed". No one has to "try". No one has to make an emergency run to the munitions cache either.
There's no shortage of ammunition necessary to fire rounds at the Great Haoli; their combined FAIL stretches to the heavens on it's very own.

Yeah, those Texans fans really have it out for Haoli.

You've been a mindless apologist for those guys from day 1, why would I expect you to actually examine this decision rationally?

It was stupid when it was made, it's proven stupid now.

But hey, at least we held on to Mike MFing Brown.

I'll just go ahead and stand behind everything I said here:

This was a dumb move by a lazy coach/front office.

The people on this board, overall, have very little room to criticize Haley and Pioli for getting rid of Pollard, as most thought he was garbage.

I did not think he was garbage. In fact, I thought he was a good player that made a difference. I still do.

That is why it doesn't surprise me that he is playing well for the Texans.

I am not criticizing Haley or Pioli for getting rid of him. I don't understand it, but I know the Chiefs need a change of culture, and maybe that is why he was let go.

Fans talked about him not having a job for a couple weeks. What they didn't understand was that he was selecting the best offer for him. He wasn't desperate. He wanted to go to a decent team that he could start on.

He got his wish, and has played very well.

You don't need three seasons to asses a dumb, detrimental move today. You don't need three seasons to observe play calling. And you don't need three seasons to observe someones methods and attitudes either.

Some things do NOT require a "wait and see" mentality/approach.

it had to do with the date that teams could sign him to any contract they wanted, if he was signed before said date his salary had to be guaranteed.

this may not be 100% accurate, but it is the reason they gave for not signing him earlier.

GoHuge 10-30-2009 01:28 PM

Another player to add to the litany of guys that have left here and done well. Can't play for the Chiefs at 1-6, but can start for competetive teams. Ah...derr

Blindside58 10-30-2009 01:29 PM

Does no one rember the shoulder bombs with no wrapping up he would lay on TE's and WR's they would bounce back five yards and continue to run for huge gains???? This guy had the tackilng ability of Def Lepperds drummer?!?
