Pretty much. It was not certain if he would return to form. He did and we rode him for 3 or 4 years.

If in love with the Saunders system, don't forget how mundane that high flying offense got as soon as Willie missed a few games.

If this Chiefs team had the same caliber of Offensive Line as the Saunders one did, we'd be scoring 40+ a game with the combo of Hunt, Hill, Kelce, and Smith delivering the ball to everyone.

Reid would jizz himself every night thinking of all of the possibilities as he knows that his OL can hold up forever in protection and also open up any gap in the run game at will.

I thought it was just plain figured out. Remember Solari running it here? It wasn’t the same when Saunders ran it with Baltimore either. But yeah the Chiefs and Chargers has some great years with it. Money when you have a great TE, RB, and FB.

Aren't we one of the top offenses in the league this year?

What's wrong with it?

Tough to run that offense without the ol

FYP

I mean, seriously;

Roaf(HOF)/Shields(HOF)/Wiegmann(ProBowler)/Waters(All-Pro)/Tait(Solid RT). That's ****ing insane!

Roaf wasn’t a proven player? That offensive line was one of the best ever.

Alex Smith still being quarterback probably has something to do with the people who have an issue with this offense.:rolleyes:

Several teams still run the Coryell system, including Dallas. Saunders wasn't doing anything new.

The Redskins, Cleveland and Cincinnati all run it as well.

Yup.

Pretty sure the Rams run a variant of it, too.

I vastly prefer watching that style of offense to all the spread monkey option BS that has infected the league but OL play sucks shit now so not everyone can do it.

Plus one hell of a run blocking FB.

Ah you beat me to it. Christ, I think I could have a bit of success running behind that line.
