Chiefs SI : Chiefs have a problem and his name is Dwayne Bowe - Page 3

According to Smith, Bowe gets double teamed which opens things up for Avery.

have you watched the games?

I can remember the titans doubling Bowe about 3 times all game long and that was more 1 1/2 coverage because of a zone bracket.

McCourty didn't fear Bowe a single bit

It's not all Bowe, Alex Smith doesn't trust wide receivers. He wants to see the guy open before he makes a throw. It doesn't help that when Smith did trust Bowe on that slant, Bowe screwed up. Alex Smith is not a guy who is going to throw a receiver open.

gotta hope that Bowe makes a few plays so Alex Smith starts to trust him.

But Bowe is not getting open consistently

that's not true -- Avery was not "wide open" last week when Smiff turned it loose. Twice.

Having one of the most conservative QBs in history will make a WR that doesn't get much separation die. In the NFL there is no such thing as wide open so this dink and dunk thing is the best we got going for us until either the QB position is upgraded or we draft three pro bowl WRs that can get open and get separation on a HOF level every snap.

It's absolutely incredible that people blame a receiver's inability to get open anymore on the quarterback just because they didn't get their way in the draft...

I hope it's not so, but right now Bowe looks old, slow, complacent...and done.

Alex Smith's definition of open obviously isn't the definition of open that most QBs have in mind. And by most QBs I mean players at or above the level of Brady Quinn, Matt Cassel, Kyle Orton, and Tyler Palko.

The point, is you can't just take the opposite and blame the receiver 100%. Alex Smith and Bowe obviously don't mesh well together, so they're going to have to meet in the middle. Smith is going to have to concentrate on getting the ball to Bowe more often, and Bowe needs to eat more Wheaties or something.

See Michael Crabtree's stats with Alex. Then go look at them with Kap.

Case closed.

Wow. Dumbest post I've read in a really long time. Are you a Chiefs fan? Have you ever watched Dwayne Bowe play football?

Bowe was never explosive, and never beat coverage. He has a QB that does not play to his strengths, and won't throw to him while he's "covered".

One of our interceptions was because Bowe was thrown to and didn't fight the guy off at all. He is going to have to produce some in order to get the trust from the QB.

No, the defender committed hard to cut off the route, and Bowe not knowing the back was already in the air, broke off his route to try to exploit it. Bowe and the offense paid the price.

Had the ball not been in the air yet though, it could have painfully led to a big play.

Bowe is bigger and stronger and was supposed to get inside position.
You do not break off a timing route with a two step drop.
Amakamura out muscled bowe and took away the inside position, which is inexcusable.

I agree. Not saying Bowe was right, but it's what he did.
