Mr. Coogs. With all respect, I am not suggesting that anything is "broken". Far from it.
I am suggesting, however, that it is an open question as to whether or not the impressive dominance of the Chiefs run blocking last Sunday will be attributed (by Dungy and staff) at least in part to the defensive scheme run by Atlanta. If that is the case, one might reasonably assume that when Dungy attempts to take "something" away from the Chief's Offense, he will choose the run. Were I preparing for the Chiefs this week, I would focus on taking away (or at least limiting) the Chiefs run game as much as possible. Who wouldn't?
Given that assumption, the short and intermediate passing game to Richardson, Gonzales, and Dunn emerges as a very interesting counter since the opposing linebackers may well be preoccupied with the line of scrimmage.
Best,
