Then, against Tampa, Thigpen operated under center for the majority of the 1st half...where we scored 24 points and had 3 straight TD drives...

Then, when LJ returned we started running out of the pistol...

At least the offensive creativity displayed saved the season from being a total disaster and made some games entertaining...which is something I didn't see possible two months ago.
I'm no fan of R2P2, and I DO like the creativity that Gailey has brought to the table with Thigpen.
I just believe that you're not going to get to the playoffs running the football out of a shotgun.

I don't believe they'll have to.
I think Gailey will have time to really flesh out the playbook and add more wrinkles to the philosophy in the off-season. There's only so much you can do when you're gameplanning on a weekly basis.

I think you can tweak this offense just like Saunders tailored the Air Coryell offense to his offensive weapons.
Remember...In the early-going they didn't exactly know what to do with Priest.

True enough!

That's not what he meant. He is saying Tyler is at the very least a #2. These last 4 games will go a ways towards deciding if he is more than that.

Yet still Priest led the NFL in rushing that season. It hink they had a pretty good idea what to do with him.

Gochiefs, you are such an idiot...ROFL
Yup

I'm pretty sure you are dead on with the Goat Cheeze alias.

I think what will determine if Tyler can be our QBOTF, or at least for the near future until we find somebody better, is whether he can learn to play under center about 50% of the time. If he can play out of both the shotgun and under center and be successful then I think we might have a keeper. We'll see how he does in the offseason when they have time to form the offense around him.

You can't handicap the running game by working out of the shotgun all day. I'm a fan of Thigpen, but this is just scary stupid.
Um, have you ever watched the New England Patriots with Tom Brady?

How about the Philadelphia Eagles this decade?

60/40 Pass to Run ratio.

This team is a few offensive lineman away from dominance. I truly believe that will happen in the 2009 off-season.

Herm even mentioned the O-line in this article.

So with Herms usual 2 game collaspe with his spineless approach to coaching and probably 2-3 games where Herm will just be out coached, I can see this team going between 4-12 and 6-10, and give just a maricle of a season and coaching job from Herm 7-9 at best...
If the Chiefs go 7-9 next year with another batch of successful draft choices added to the current youngest team in the NFL, he'll get at least a three year extension.

Brilliant. Herm was Hell Bent on scrap heaping a potent offense for 40 plus games and now all the sudden, he's had a revelation? Bullshit. This is, save your own ass, coach speak and I'm not buying it. Herm will be right back to his conservative ways, when ever the heat is off. Besides that, who in the Hell actually buys that Thigpen was Herm's starter form day one? Two-Face is full of shit.

I called it on his first few posts.

Yeah, if only we had kept Willie Roaf, Priest Holmes and Trent Green.

I know-they are the only Players that can run the Air Coreyell, right?:D

Let's see how he finishes out the season. How many years left on his contract?

I think you have said it perfectly... can he play under center?
