View Full Version : Things we should NEVER see on offense and things we will see constantly on defense

On offense:
We should NEVER see T-Rich run the football. He is a good 4-5 years past his ability to make any moves what so ever with the rock in his hand. He is a blocker and catch and fall-down receiver. The sooner Saunders realizes this, the sooner KC will stop wasting plays by giving him the ball.
We should never see Trent hold onto the ball so damn much. Sure, he pulls it out of his butt sometimes, but more often that not he gets an untimely sack (See last season). Really, this is the only part of his game I absolutely detest.
On defense:
With the blitz happy scheme Gunther has implemented get ready to see three basic plays over and over until the KC defense shows they can stop it.
The draw
The screen pass
The quick slant route
The last time Gunther had control over this team those plays were the bane of the defense (particularly the screen pass). Hopefully he has better players to implement his defense.

The draw-hoping the d line will stay at home enough to stop it (maybe that's why sims had less then 15 tackles last year)
The Screen-If DJ can blow it up on our offense, I think he'll be able to hang
The slant-Keep throwing it at Surtain, see what happens

We don't need to worry about screen. We have Kawika "The ScreenBuster" Mitchell.

I agree. Trent Green should NEVER run the bootleg. :)

I seem to remember the Patriots screening you guys to hell and gone, but don't remember if that was in the heart-attack special game in 2002, when we were screening EVERYBODY to hell and gone, cuz we had no running game, or last year.
Of course, in '02 you were still stuck with G-Rob, so that's not very relevant to your defense these days.

The Draw: We have looked good against so far
The Screen: We have looked good against so fat
The Slant: As someone else said..."keep throwing at Surtain and see what happens"
There was a perfect example Saturday night of how we could have used LJ and Priest in the same backfield together. Priest was lined up at halfback and TRich at FB. Priest motioned out as a flanker and TRich took a step back and carried the ball for no gain. Now wouldn't that be the perfect time to line up LJ at FB, and let him get a touch or two?
That call made no sense to me. Neither of TRich's carries did. It should be Priest and LJ and nobody else. If you have to line up either at FB, and move around to get LJ touches, so be it.

Repeat after me -- "it's the preseason".

Hah. We were just talking about that play last night. I imagine they just wanted to establish that formation/package. I seriously doubt that during the real season Trich will be getting the ball on that play.

It has nothing to do with being a fan of Team X or Team Y. It has everything to do with having some basic understanding of how football's preseason works.
Why don't you also suggest giving Priest Holmes 30 carries a game in the preseason too, while you're at it...

I predict T-Rich will have about ten carries and ten receptions this year, maybe a TD or two.
