Yep, almost all technical analysis/engineering requires calculus.

I'd quit to, they give the QB pos no chance to succeed or this offense, **** herm and **** dick curl, **** all the offensive coaches that have no clue

I have a feeling herm handcuffs all of them honestly

There's a whole lotta something to this, I think, Mr. Rain Man. One would naturally assume that a particular player would be drafted by a particular coach because that particular coach saw something in that particular player that he particularly liked. But it doesn't always seem to work out that way. Sometimes, that player, for whatever reason, doesn't thrive in that coach's system.

A certain symbiotic relationship has to occur for a player to achieve his ultimate potential. The system or scheme has to be right for his skills and the coaching staff has to allow that player to maximize his strong points while minimizing his shortcomings. It's certainly not unusual for a player to start playing at a high level only until he's with his second or even third team. Joe Horn comes to mind.

As for Mr. GoChiefs' theory, there well may be something to that, as well. I've often wondered if Herm's affinity for young players and rookies has anything to do with the fact that they're a lot easier to bullsh*t. In our case, Trent Green was having none of it and it sure seemed as though our big Willie made a strange decision when he convinced Shields into coming back only to retire himself not long afterwards. Herm strikes me as the kind of guy who can keep a team together so long as they're buying into his story. I've known a lot of guys like that through the years. Unfortunately, once the story has proven to be baseless crap, it's nearly impossible to rally the troops again. If that's the case with Herm, it's doubly important for guys like LJ and Downfield and Gonzo to keep their cool when things are going poorly because the young guys will be looking to them for guidance.

Herm isn't calling plays but he's signing off on gameplans and making suggestions all game long. Vermeil would tell Saunders to run the ball from time to time. Herm begins every series with the words, "OK let's try a run here and see if we can get a few yards."

There is no argument. In preseason we tried to run counters, zone blocking, bootlegs, and tried to mitigate our shitty line.

Week 1 against a hell of a defense that was beating the shit out of our O, Herm pulls out the same ****ing plays he fired Solari for.

Scary thing is I wouldn't be shocked if this is 100% true.

Yeah, 'cause really rich, really ****ed up people with checking accounts are going to go extinct in the next thousand years...

Not following you?

But getting money from rich stupid people probably requires people skills that nerd's don't have.

Herm needs to be fired, period

I'm a big Steelers follower. Watched them since Cowher left to make his NE Chiefs.

A lot of what Chan did is what others copied in Pitt. He'd go 5 wide on first down. He'd run a double WR reverse and then THROW the ball 60 yards down field. His boring "up the center's but" calls were the siren's singing. It's what compelled the defense to suck up so he could go deep. He's all about creating mismatches by playcalling and game situations.

That's not, in any way, what we're doing.

Infer whatever you want...

Not a Huard fan but I cant blame the guy if he did quit. This coaching staff is an embarrassment. I hope all the vets quit, then maybe Clark will take some action.

I think the Coaching staff is tired of Huard and his curl instead of rolling out throwing the ball away.

Exactly Buehler!

Also, keep in mind that Solari didn't do to bad in his first season given the situation with Trent Green going down and Willie Roaf retiring. Last year the offense totally disintegrated and most of the blame can be placed right on Herms shoulders (along with Carl Peterson).

After the 2006 season Herm stated publicly in the media that we had to change the offense in order to get younger players on the field. ok, fine! But I remember a comment about when Trent came back to the team of how the gameplan for that week was scaled down to fraction of what it was previously. I don't think having the gameplan/playbook scaled down is a bad thing it just shows Solari trying to comply and after the Indy loss in the playoffs Herm says ok now we can make some changes but the problem is HERM WAS AND IS MICRO-MANAGING THE PLAYCALLING and we end up with this crap we have now. Herm Edwards is a bumb of a coach and will always be one.

After what we have witnessed the last couple years. I am convinced it is true. Different co-ordinator same damn thing.

Very true. I think Marty had a lot to do with Archie Manning not wanting Eli to play in San Diego.
