Chiefs If we could have an improvement right now with the Chiefs... - Page 3

**Rain Man** · 11-18-2013, 01:16 PM

...where would it be?

Poll to follow. You get to pick one unit. And unit is a funny word when you really think about it. Unit, unit, unit. It sounds like an alien word that we got from Roswell.

But I digress. Poll to follow.

The Rules:

Assume that we could get an incremental improvement of, say 10 to 15 percent. We're not talking about replacing our unit with a Hall of Fame unit. Just a bump in performance.

Davis has, IMO, shown that he's ready for action these past two games.

If only there were enough touches in the run game to go around for that. Reid has moments in the game where he gets really pass happy and just completely ignores the run.

Offensive line. That's where it all starts.

Would love to have both receivers and oline improve because Im greedy that way.

The biggest issue with rookie running backs are the protection calls. Does the RB know the offense, know the calls and if an audible is called, adjust?

It's not about "see what he can do!". That's bullshit.

Davis has shown the past few weeks that he has a firm grasp of the offense and he's done well in limited touches. My opinion is that he needs to see about 10 touches the next few games in order to give Charles a break.

He's a big dude with 4.3 speed with good vision. He can help the team.

1. QB
2. Oline
3. Receivers

**the Talking Can** · 11-18-2013, 02:05 PM

What? Now you're just arguing with me for the hell of it.

That may be the biggest issue with most running backs, but with Knile's previous history, and even some drops/muffs/fumbles he's had this season in limited touches, his issue is moreso ball security. Alex rarely, if ever, calls audibles at the line so that isn't much of a factor.

He's averaging 2.4 touches per game this season. It's absolutely about seeing what the kid can do.

I'm arguing with you because I happen to believe you're a ****ing idiot that talks out of his ass.

**Easy 6** · 11-18-2013, 02:12 PM

The O line, those guys are just pathetic, as i've said before they don't have a strength... cant run block, cant pass block.

They aren't physical, aren't nasty, almost never get any push in the run, rarely get out to the second level... they. suck.

Maybe they need to stop catching ****ing passes in practice and start, you know, working on their blocking.

Jamaal Charles longest run on the year? 35 yards, pathetic.

Honestly, you're a ****ing idiot and a blathering old fool.

You said Davis has shown that he's ready for more action; I ****ING AGREED WITH YOU in saying that we should give him more reps to see what he's got. Now you're telling me its not about seeing what the kid can do with more reps?

mnchiefsguy · 11-18-2013, 02:15 PM

QB, WR, O-line. All are lacking at the moment, and it shows on the field.

How many rushes have we had within the five yard line that haven't scored? Far too many is all I can say for sure.

See what he's got?

JFC, you dildo, giving players reps has absolutely nothing to do with showing fans "what he's got". Either the coaches feel comfortable with his knowledge of the protections, his fumbling issue, etc. or they don't.

Head coaches in the NFL don't just don't say "Okay, kid. Let's see what you've got!".

**fan4ever** · 11-18-2013, 02:20 PM

I've had a problem with the play calling but I also know you can't call plays your team can't execute.

That's play calling and scheme.

Reid should know his offense's weaknesses by this point.

I don't know either, but its definitely too many.

They just flat out aren't physical, but they're not finesse either... its awful, i sure hope we can get some big, mean HOSS mfers next year.
