Mr. Coogs. With all respect, I am not suggesting that anything is "broken". Far from it.
I am suggesting, however, that it is an open question as to whether or not the impressive dominance of the Chiefs run blocking last Sunday will be attributed (by Dungy and staff) at least in part to the defensive scheme run by Atlanta. If that is the case, one might reasonably assume that when Dungy attempts to take "something" away from the Chief's Offense, he will choose the run. Were I preparing for the Chiefs this week, I would focus on taking away (or at least limiting) the Chiefs run game as much as possible. Who wouldn't? Given that assumption, the short and intermediate passing game to Richardson, Gonzales, and Dunn emerges as a very interesting counter since the opposing linebackers may well be preoccupied with the line of scrimmage.

FAX,
Sorry! I wasn't responding to your post. In fact, I haven't had time to read any of the responses. I was just responding to Gaz's original question. |

If they start stacking the box and run blitzing then we need to be finding Tony G down the seam. I also think we finally saw that there are still some screen passes in the scheme, we need to get back to that as well. Basically, if they want to stack the box, we invite them into the backfield and then use the short passing game in lieu of the running game. Once we get them back off the line, we go back to the running game we all saw last week. And of course, the occasional deep ball to Kennison to keep the safeties honest! |

Colts first play from scrimmage...all 11 Chiefs defenders jump on Peyton and twist limbs, leg whip, chop block, bite fingers and gough eyes. They go up 7- zip, but so what? Peyton's in the whirlpool. Who's the Colts backup QB these days?
Uh oh...I'm thinking like a Donks fan now! Bad sportmanship...bad!! Listen for the standing ovation the first time the Colts have to punt. Go get em' Gun!!! I can't wait. Halloween at Arrowhead...should be kooky! |

I would run, draw or screen when they expect pass.
I would pass on first down, every other time. Run the rest of the time.

Mr. Hydrae. I completly agree with your analysis. Although I can't help but envision Tony Richardson also slipping off linebackers on play action into the middle and the flat for consistent gains of 8 to 12 yards due to the respect Indy must now pay to the run.

Why not the obvious? Run the ball. Run over Waters, Roaf, Shields, Weigman and Welbourne. From this all else is possible. I would stick with the run even if the Colts stack the line with success early. This team needs an identity to emerge. That would be a dominant running game that says to the other team "Stop Us". Enough of this over-scheming crap. Jam It Down Their Throats First. If we can't do that in our own house then go to the passing game --as a last resort. ---> |

Mr. Straight, No Chaser. Any offense you have taken from my analysis was unintentional, I assure you.
Perhaps this will help. Based on Mr. Gaz's question, "Got a plan?", I suggested one. It is an approach to countering what "one might reasonably assume" will be the opponent's scheme to address the rushing dominance displayed in last week's game. Can you not agree that any opponent would now be concerned with our running attack? Are you aware of any methods that remain unmentioned for accomplishing this objective? I actually agree with you that the Chiefs need an identity and I would like to believe that that identity could be our OL and Priest coming with an unstoppable run game each and every week. This is, nonetheless, the NFL and strategy has always been a part of the game. Mr. Gaz posed the question, "Got a plan?". I "got" one. And, to your point, allow me to respectfully submit that I am no one's "monkey". My words are thoughtfully chosen and carefully considered. Perhaps you should display similar restraint when proffering cross-species insults. Best, FAX |

Comming into the game last Sunday, Atlanta was the #1 RUN DEFENSE in the entire NFL. I doubt they abandoned their scheme for the Chiefs and our less than pro bowl quality WR corp. I don't watch Falcon games, so I don't know what they usually do. What I do know is that the Chiefs O-line dominated the Ravens and the Falcons. And since they are supposed to be two of the top defenses in the league, I would suggest we use the same approach until someone (team) proves they have the formula to stop it. So far the only one I have seen capiable of stopping our offense has been AS. |

Mr Coogs. No doubt you are correct. 15 catches for TR is a great number.
However, perhaps you will be kind enough to consider that, 1) If the offensive scheme I am proposing comes to fruition, TR can get open early and often by brushing linebackers and finding open space, 2) Who would have thought we would score 8 rushing touchdowns on Atlanta's vaunted rushing D?, 3) Are we convinced in Morton and Kennison's ability to make a difference in a win?, and 4) My expectation is that it is likely that TG will see quite a bit of double coverage. Yet, your point is well taken. Perhaps I am a lowly "homer"? Best, FH |
