CJ Online with an unsettling revelation about the bootleg.

[Hammock Parties]

Good lord. Gunther's a ****ing moron.

It's Broncos Week, which means it's Bootleg Week.

The play that has infamously confounded the Chiefs in seasons past was again a major topic in the week leading to today's game.

The difference this time, Chiefs players said, is the team spent an entire practice session working on stopping the bootleg.

"We never stressed it before," defensive tackle Ryan Sims said. "The key to the bootleg is just recognizing it."

Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen said the difficulty in stopping the bootleg lies in the tricky zone blocking techniques Denver uses, which tempt defensive ends to crash inside to take away cutback lanes.

"It's just how they run it," he said. "Their offensive line is so flat -- their run and bootleg are so similar, you're so worried about the run that the boot opens up more."

Wait, Hicks doesn't play special teams does he?

Now I'm all nervous that they'd audible to it from punt formation. The punter would probably get 30-40 yards out of it before the light bulb went on in Hicks' head: "Y'know....I don't think he's going to punt afterall..."

Ah crap.

We'll still get burned on the bootleg

Ya know.... I don't mind getting burned once or twice on a bootleg but IIRC we got burned like 5 or 6 times IN A ROW with plummer last year at arrowhead as well as Incesto.

Not just 5 or 6 times total. We got burned play after play when they ran it. If we can stop it 80% of the time we will only get burned 1-3 times. I am willing to settle for that since I know deep down we won't stop it totally.
