I don't like the ultraconservative play calling, but I'm going to blame it on Hacket before I blame it on Edwards. As you stated above Herm does give his coordinators more room to manage the game than most Head Coaches. We have already seen the expectation displayed in camp. The game against Pitt looked like a Hacket master piece and I remember how many on this board saw it coming because of our familiarity of Paul Hacket.
Second, I consider it a major positive that Herm got so much out of his team in a tough division for so many years considering there was a revolving door with coordinators. This cannot be easy.
In KC we had a good HC, OC, and OLC the last 4 years, but most of the assistants and defensive coaches sucked big time. We also had talent that never played up to potential on Defense. The current assembly of coaches in KC maybe the best it has ever been. If Edwards can motivate the players equally well as he did in NY then the Chiefs will do well.
Sometimes a team needs a coaching change just for a wake up. KC needed it with DV even though he was an excellent HC. Maybe it is the same in NY.
