Interview with HE on 38 Sports Spot last night. - Page 3

Coogs · 03-07-2006, 03:48 PM

Anyone else see it?

If this has been discussed already, my bad. Just didn't see a thread about it. HE was on for the entire 30 minute segment. Jack Harry did the interview.

A few key points.

Edwards indicated we may rush the ball up to 10 more times a game to utilize our offensive line and RB better, plus keep the defense on the sideline longer.

The play action pass may be used more.

Plans to use the draft to build this team more than the FA route. Will take best athlete available weather it be offense or defense. Will not reach on a player in the draft.

Had other comments, but these were the ones I found interesting.

I just want to win football games and win in the postseason. That is the ONLY thing this team can do that will excite me. I DON'T CARE what kind of offense we use to do it, as long as we do it...

Come on.... reach for the sky man... I want a friggin SB victory.

Using these comments as a guide, I now pray that guys like Santonio Holmes and Chad Jackson and Winston Justice are all gone before our picks.

I don't want the coaches falling in love with offensive talents at the #20 selection.

This is HORRIBLE news, absolutely HORRIBLE. Let's go inside the numbers.

Last season the Chiefs ran 520 rush plays and 539 pass plays. That's a 49% run, 51% pass balance.

If we increase the number of running plays by up to 10 per game (let's call it 7 on average) that is an additional 112 running plays and 112 less passing plays.

We now have 60% running plays and 40% passing plays. This team will now become a middle of the pack scoring offense. We don't have the WRs to just pass the ball when we have to. Passing in obvious running situations and vice versa is what enables this offense to flourish. Why don't we do well in 3rd and long situations? Because we don't have a WR that can just flat out beat a guy who knows this is going to be a pass play. We will see more of those situations with this strategy.

The key is not to reduce the offensive productivity to protect the defense, the key should be to improve the defense to match the offense's productivity.

Disheartening...very disheartening.

Technically, it's 3 playoff season in the last 10. Two of those 3 were done the old 'Chiefs football' way and I dont remember those years turning out any better than the DV way.

KC has been one of the best rushing teams in the league SINCE Marty left thanks to real RB's, first of all, and a good OL. The offense has been made more dynamic by an actual QB as well. Changing the offense is a mistake. It's the defense that has been the problem.

I'll send Herm at $70 bottle of scotch if he tries to develop a QB.

I'm a glutton for punishmet, I know.

Of course. Because the offense is so young and has years of productivity ahead of them. We sure wouldn't want to see any restocking before the whole damn thing takes a nosedive off the cliff.

A new coach and the 'fire' is rekindled...

great,,,hermie hasn`t even had a training camp yet and he`s already screwing up the offense. its worked the last ,what, 3 years leave it alone. LJ willbe used up before the middle of the year. well at least boring martyball gave you time to get up and pee.

htismaqe · 03-08-2006, 09:52 AM

I love this place.

We're doomed.

Hog's Gone Fishin · 03-08-2006, 10:07 AM

I think maybe he's just making those comments so that Priest will think he's gonna get in his 20 carries per game. I agree, we've had the #1 offense the last five years with a chance for it to be even better this year, and Herm shouldn't fugg with it. Just get the Defense to step up a notch is all we need. Our run D was great last year. Just a little push up front with some of Herms motivation mixed in is what we need.

Would you rather the offense fall off or the defense make no improvement?

I'd rather build a championship caliber defense than try to maintain a championship caliber offense.

Just me, though. Maybe you're not tired of fun yet successless football in KC.

We've been doing it that way for 15 years. Why change now?

Not really. We featured the play action pass in a few games. And it worked. Even with Black at LT it worked when we used it. And it controlled the clock, there by keeping the defense on the sideline.

And I am convinced that for Gun to have a tough defense, it has to be on the sideline the majority of the game, not on the field.

I am also convinced that if we utilize the play-action game more, we may not need to draft a bunch of O-linemen that can get out on the corners to block. Plus, the play action allowed Black to provide Green with good pass protection, where as the straight drop back passes nearly caused Green to get killed.

You like your type of football, I like mine. I'll take smashmouth football on both sides of the football anyday. I love that style of play.... but that is just me.

KCTitus · 03-08-2006, 10:34 AM

It's a joke to suggest anyone at LT besides Roaf provided Green 'good' pass protection.
