Football Coaching has improved

While the Chiefs did get off to a very ugly start, I have to give it to the coaching staff that they have shown some big improvements over last season.

I would say that the best, and the biggest change this season is the rotation of players, on both sides of the ball. Last season, Sutton coordinated this defense like it was a Madden contest with the fatigue turned off. We rarely saw anyone come out of the game, and in the fourth quarter the guys were just worn out.

This year looks a lot different. We've still got guys going full steam in the fourth, and even though we don't have the greatest players at some positions, having fresh legs can often times make a huge difference in the caliber of play.

Offensively, I haven't seen that much creativity with the playcalling and the formations since Vermiel and Saunders were here. I saw plays last night that Ive NEVER seen the Kansas City Chiefs run, and many of them were big plays.

If this is a sign of things to come, where our offense and our "game manager" quarterback can roll up over 300 yards of offense in ONE HALF against what was supposed to be the main strength of the opposing team, we have a chance to be a pretty scary team down the road.

Clock management in the 2-4 minute range is still God Awful, and I just cant understand why. Clearly Andy Reid is a smart guy. You know how long your plays should take to get communicated, and then executed. How you just let 30 seconds burn off the clock before you spend a timeout when you have an opportunity to score on a defense that has shown NO ability to stop you whatsoever is just beyond me.

The Chiefs are clearly still a work in progress, but Im definitely liking what Im seeing. Constant switching of personell and formations on offense to keep the defense reacting instead of attacking, and a damn solid rotation on defense to keep our guys fresh and able to attack even late into the fourth quarter.
