10 changes that NEED to be made
 

1) Berry to free safety. The kid has speed to burn and is a superb tackler. That is a double edged sword for a guy coming off an ACL tear that's playing strong side safety. I think he should have been a free safety all along. He isn't playing well in coverage at all and my hope is that a move to the weak side will help him. He was a Ballhawk as a FS at Tennessee.

2) Daniels back to corner. This team is hurting for corners that can play and he is totally ineffective at safety. Stupid move to have ever moved him there in the first place.

3) Breaston needs to sit and Baldwin needs to start. I wasn't gonna overreact after him not getting a lot of time against Atlanta, but the kid needs to be on the field twice as much for us to get a return on the investment.

4) Cassel needs to be put on notice that he will get pulled if he doesnt start giving this team a spark. The guy obviously deflates the team when we are down in games and I'm already to see Quinn. He may not be an upgrade, but it's better than being complacent.

5) Romeo needs to dial it up a notch and stop playing on our heels. This defense came alive when we starting dictating the tempo last year and these players aren't built for read and react, they are ALL attacking types. USE THE STRENGTHS OF YOUR PLAYERS, ROMEO. More press, let the DL attack and run some zone blitzes like the second half of last year.

6) Cut Rope a fifty and sign Shaun Smith. This defense misses his attitude and intensity as a rotational linemen and he can come in right away and make a difference.

7) Pass more out of the two tight end sets. It seems we are becoming predictable with our formations and opposing teams can see it coming. We don't have the chemistry built yet to be able to dictate and impose our will in those sets...maybe even activate Maneri if we are gonna continue to do so.

8) Lilja needs to sit and Allen needs to take his place. I know the Bills DL is exceptional, but Lilja was a rag doll out there. The future starts now, no sense in leaving an ineffective 30 year old out there.

9) Let someone else make the defensive calls or share the HC responsibilities because having two guys do 3 peoples jobs with a roster that desperately needs development from top to bottom isn't working AT ALL. Gigantic design flaw that Pioli should damn well have known.

10) Jerrell Powe needs more time. Poe looks allright for a n00b, but Powe has a very high ceiling and needs reps to develop further. In limited time, he has shown the ability to blow shit up and this team needs all the explosives it can get.

I'm with you on #1. I know there are people around here that are against it though. I'm pretty sure Spongeblack Bobtard is one of them.

I don't really care if he's FS or SS, just get him playing coverage again for FFS.

This team needs more Piscatelli.

Lilja > Asamoah at this point.

Um.....no.

lol spongeblack bobtard

Um.. yes. Go rewatch the games. Asamoah is getting beat like a rented mule.

I'd love to see Jerrell Powe get more time I believe he can be beast. I'd even be down for Poe to move to RDE inplace of Dorsey. I don't know WTF Dorsey is doing?

He got beat against the Bills.....but he didn't look as bad as Lilja did. If Asamoah is bad......Lilja is teh suck.

Id rather we just go 1-15, Pioli gets canned and we draft #1 overall. Hope and Change…..

The all sucked against the Bills to a degree, but Asamoah gets beat way too often. Regardless I would like to see Allen in one spot or another.

He is still learning and White Williams is one of the most underrated DL in the game. I agree he needs to step up, but saying he is worse than Lilja is dead wrong.

Sorry.

Also, i'd like to add that Ropati and Poe need to gtfo on obvious passing downs. They're aren't maintaining their lanes and they're allowing immobile QB's to run through huge lanes.

Might as well just keep Dorsey and Jackson out there.

#11 - Avoid a meaningless, late season 5 - 6 game winning streak.

Ropati is a huge disappointment thus far.

He needs to get replaced by the deep freeze nut cruncher.

Agreed on all accounts.

I don't know how Ropati made the team.

Amon Gordon was better.

Who has time to read lists that are ten things long???

Crennel needs to know that he is on the cut list also..

that ****er cant sit here and let the Chiefs get raped every sunday GROB style...

This.

I agree with most of the list.
I wouldn't sit Breaston in favor of Baldwin though.

It doesn't matter if it is Baldwin or Breaston. The #2 WR isn't getting many looks. They could start an armless guy and it wouldn't make a difference.

The problem is that Cassel doesn't go through progressions. He stares down his number one read and if he isn't comfortable with the throw he checks down.

He doesn't go through progressions well.
He hasn't had much time to do that though.
Teams are daring the Chiefs to throw and coming after him.

Cassel just sucks. I don't care why he doesn't go through progressions.

We also need to eliminate these timely turnovers.

The two Cassel fumbles and the Hillis one all KILLED US.

You aren't gonna win in this league when you turn the ball over when the game is still close and you play flat.

So let's say the Chiefs make all 10 of these changes. We go what, 10 - 6 or 9 - 7 and pull a wild card.

That give us;
- Cassell as our QB forever
- Pioli as GM for another 10 years
- And RAC as HC for at least 2 more years with no up and comer waiting in the wings to take over. Meaning we get another NE retread.

Are we sure we really want the Chiefs to make these changes?

Like a $500 Donkey?

:thumb:

Good point.

Mods, please delete this thread.

I'd love to see Shaun Smith back and according to pretty much all of his Twitter posts, he'd love to be back. Not gonna hold my breath though..

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/p...-truths-091812
Read points #10 and points #7 and apply them towards the Chiefs. Fits damn near perfect. We can not do #10, as Cassel is 3 and 17 in those type of games. And #7 replace Manning with Cassel and you have our team down cold.

Which means your point #4 needs to be taken seriously BossChief. As do the others. Good post.

I agree with #3. Breaston is decent, but would be better off the bench. Baldwin won't grow if not given the opportunity. I admit he could run better routes, especially when they require timing, but he has the ability to compete for the ball.

Damn dude you rocked it out. Nice :thumb:

I would add, Have Jammal freaking Charles Start a game and get 20-25 carries.

Stop helping them out we suck for Geno Smith and a new leadership.

WTF is this link?

Don't be. But the dude is correct. Asamoah has been getting destroyed out there in the first two games. He's horrible and can't pass block worth a lick. Like I said, they should have taken Zane Beadles instead of McCluster and this is a non-issue; however, the guard position is a serious question mark right now with both Lilja and Asamoah getting owned the first two games. And Allen was so up and down in the pre-season that who knows what he's going to provide.

Should have just drafted Pete Konz and left Hudson at guard. Konz looked really good for the Falcons again last night.

Wait until Pioli drafts Barrett Jones in the first round next year.

just go 0-16 and look at the long term benefits

4 seasons of starting in the NFL, I would hope that would be enough time for him to go through his progressions.

With our luck someone will go 0-16, and we will lose a 3 way tie and draft 4th overall.



FFS we went 2-14 and only drafted 3rd. :facepalm:

10 changes? This can really be summarized in three changes...

1) Fire Fat Scott
2) Fire Romeo and his coaching staff
3) Shit can Cassel

Sorry! Corrected it. Here it is if you don't want to scroll back up...

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/p...-truths-091812

That redirects to a "coaches bullying refs" story

Use the scroll down feature my friend, use the scroll down!


EDIT: It is a Whitlock article, but those two points are spot on for the Chiefs. That is not to mention the actual Chiefs point he brings up.

My laptop is out of commission at the moment and I'm just using my phone and there is no scroll down.

Any chance you could copy and paste it here when you get the time?

1) place every idiot who advocates losing games to better our draft pick into a large shipping container

2) Call up Greece or another gay country and negotiate the sale of these queerbaits at a bulk rate (but not too cheap)

3) Include a free tarp, several midgets , Crisco by the tub and condoms

4) Call someone in Somialia and warn them a cargo full of valuable material is on the way

5) Assist the Somalians with a team of Black Ops / Contractors to pirate the 'Gay Vessel'

6) Agree to let some of the passengers be raped based on which act more like women

7) WHen the somalians try and ransom the 'gay vessel' intercept the phone call with elite tech gear

8) agree to pay the ransom for the 'gay vessel' and agree to rendezvous point somewhere off the coast of somalia

9) when the somalis come with the 'gay vessel' being towed, 1st destroy the gay vessel..sink it to the ground...then let the somalis go, as they have done nothing wrong

10) Live with the honor of not being a pussy ass bitch

Sorry for the delay. I have been busy.

I might have deleted a bit of #4 because I had to delete a bunch of thrown in extra crap clong the edges.

I see you are on here tonight BossChief. Here it is again.

Berry should never move to FS. He is clearly a SS. He hits like a truck and closes on the RB fast than any player in the league. Romeo is currently using him wrong. If you move him to FS you'll be using him wrong. This is like the Pollard to LB argument. It's never going to happen.

I'm not an expert, but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night.

I know, it wasn't funny the first time.

But seriously...I know people have written him off, but I still think Stanzi will spark this team when he takes over for a struggling Brady Quinn around week 9 or 10.

Free safeties don't have to tackle in run support now?

W

T

F

?

In 2007 and 2008, Eric Berry played free safety at Tennessee and here is his production:

158 tackles (average of 79 per year)
12 interceptions
3 sacks
1 forced fumble
3 defensive scores

In 2009, he moved to the strong side and here is what he did:
83 tackles
1 forced fumble
2 interceptions
0 sacks
0 scores

The guy needs to be put back at the position where he was an exciting playmaker.

Ed Reed is clearly a liability in run support. rollseyes

Same for Brian Dawkins from his eagles career.

Those are the guys I see as what Berry SHOULD BE and COULD BE RIGHT NOW IF USED CORRECTLY.

The problem is this regime is stuck in 1997 where you built to stop the run, first and foremost.

When you are spending high picks on guys like Jackson and are putting Berry in the box most of the time, you are "doing it wrong"

Jmo...I could be wrong.

FWIW, I agree completely.

You are flat out wrong. He played FS on certain plays just like he does in KC. He also played CB, SS, OLB, PR, KR, and QB in an option package. I have watched almost every game he played in. I wanted to draft him from the first game I saw him.

He was not a FS in 2007 and 2008. He was a strong safety and that is a straight up lie. This is the kind of bullshit I am talking about. You are ****ed up for calling me out all the time.

Now you will probably say something like "I was just testing you."

He played John Lynch's position in Monte Kiffen's cover 2 dumbass!

**** you pedophile. You are a ****ing creep with your middle school girl gifs.

None of what you say matters as long as Daboll dials up his predictive scheme, Cassel continues to be absolutely incompetent throwing past 15 yards, and our defense continues to get out schemed because we have no coordinator. And none of that will stop the downhill slide of softness our defense is experiencing.

This team is hopeless. I have never seen a more talented team more undermined by frustratingly dumb decisions from up top.

As to putting Berry in the box, I don't dislike the philosophy behind it. Eric is one of the few guys who can match up with Davis, Gates, Jimmy Graham, and Gronk while still being good against the run.

People forget we used Berry in the exact same way in his rookie year. He had an entire year off with rehab. It is going to take some time, especially in live situations for him to start feeling comfortable back there.

I gotta tell you guys. I am pissed about the way Boss just goes around talking shit with no links or anything else. Then he leads the raiding party on telling me how much I suck.

Do you guys see this? How many years have you been listening to his bullshit? Any SEC fan can tell you the Barry was the SS the whole time.

It was the same way at CC with this guy. He's full of shit. He is just making shit up and manipulating you. You know what I am talking about.

My friend is a Vols fan.....who watches every game. He didn't play SS the entire time you ****ing dipshit.

And you've done this more than once......but IT'S ****ING BERRY YOU reerun. NOT BARRY.

I type fast. LMAO

Your friend is wrong. Why don't you show some real proof you ****ing liar. You are just as bad. it's no coincidence you are the other guying saying "move him to FS."

He played FS in certain packages etc. Everywhere shows him as a SS. Hell, his break out game was against UGA in Sanford Stadium and I was there watching him play SS!

"My friend told me" or "my special Chiefs informant told me!"


**** YOU!

We're not doing this anymore!

I've been holding back and I'm not waiting for you to ask nicely anymore.

That's a quote from Berry.

What did Barry have to say?

Keep editing your posts you worthless ****. Continue to talk out of your ass and get proven wrong. I'll defend R8ers and Setsuna before I ever defend your reeruned ass.

Oh no! Pest has been told.

That's coming from someone who watched every Vols game and is a huge Berry fan. Someone who I actually respect......unlike your bundle of sticks ass.

From you it's from a friend and a fan. It's easy to find the depth chart from 2007 and 2008.

From Boss it's from a Chief's source.

**** you guys

**** YOU LIARS

YOU ARE LOSERS

No shit you dumb ****. I already posted that. I am saying he played SS 90% of the time. JUST LIKE IN KC.

You suck man. You are ****ing pussy who has nothing but this website. People should not be listening to you as you are a liar. YOU GOT NOTHING and YOU ARE NOTHING.

My laptop is ****ed or I would post the embed codes for a bunch of YouTube videos showing Berry in 2007 and 2008 playing MOSTLY free safety in base defense.

Apparently it doesn't even show them on the mobile version.

Tell ya what, BlackBob, post a couple videos from those years showing him playing the strong side more than a few select times for matchups and I'll leave you alone till the season is over.

Shot, the guy lined up as a quarterback a couple times and as a wideout a few too...I guess you'll be along shortly to tell me "Erak Barrie" is a querterbak.

Your proof is a depth chart? LMAO

Go **** your kat. (spelled in the way I'm sure you spell it)

Nearly every single play he makes in those videos is from the side of the field that free safeties line up on.

Show me I'm wrong and ill leave you alone.

Little bitch.

Tennesee vs. Florida 2007

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWij0BlWsD0

That was his first pick. The dude was a SS 90% of the time.

**** you guys. I am done with you

LIAR!!!

**** YOU, YOU'RE A LIAR.

JFC, what an epic dipshit.

Hahaha

Over a half hour worth of watching videos of Berry and couldn't find one that proved me wrong, huh...oh wait, you found one with one play.

FFS everyone with eyes knows they played him more on the strong side against Florida because....wait for it.......Tim Tebow is left handed.

FTR nobody cares what you think you saw when you watched a football game.

Everyone here knows how many times you've tried to comment on things that never even happened in games.

Like when your eyes told you that Alex tanney played in the first ps game

Or how bad Bailey was playing WHEN HE WAS INJURED AND DIDN'T PLAY AT ALL

Or a lot of other instances just like this one.

Eric Berry played a lot of roles at Tennessee...he lined up everywhere including special teams and offense.

The majority of the time as a freshman and sophomore, he was lined up on the quarterbacks left facing side unless he was playing a left handed quarterback...until his junior season when they wanted to use him more in the box and as a third linebacker in sub work...similarly to what we are doing with him this year in the nickel.

Yesssss!!

http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-...ra-dancing.gif

I'm pretty much on board with everything the OP said, especially items 1, 4, 5, and 9. If Boss is out this weekend, I'd rather see Maneri in there instead of JO.

.

Good ****ing morning. It's a new day.

Not every team does things the "Patriot Way." Especially in college football.

You can't just watch a highlight video of Berry and say he played here or there. Everyone knows he played all over the place.

Let's watch some game film.

2007 South Carolina - Strong Safety most of the day against a right handed QB.

It's really easy to see he hardly ever plays FS if you watch the game tape. There are more out there but these are the best quality.

This is a dumb argument and you guys are just making shit up. I'm not going to argue with you idiots anymore.
