Comedy with Herm

[FloridaMan88]

More comedy with Herm, courtesy of his weekly press conference. I give which ever reporter asked Herm the following questions about the offense changing credit for asking these long overdue questions, but he/she should have gone further and said that one thing that HAS changed with the offense during the past 2 seasons is it has gone from ranked #1 in the NFL to ranked 30th in the NFL. That is a dramatic decline that is rarely seen in the league.

From Herm's press conference today:

http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/2007/11/13/herm_edwards_press_conference__1113/

Q: Do you maybe know that after looking at last week you can highlight Priest Holmes strengths?

EDWARDS: “You fail to realize this: this offense hasn’t changed. It hasn’t changed in two years. We don’t call different plays. That’s a figment of people’s imagination. Priest Holmes was in this offense. The coaches that coach this offense coached Priest before I got here. So it wasn’t like we had some new plays for Priest Holmes. They knew what he could do. So we ran those plays. Priest was involved in that and these are the plays he likes. We know what he likes. We don’t have new plays for Priest Holmes. He knows this offense better than anybody. He was in it and was very successful.

Q: If your offense hasn’t changed why has it struggled?

EDWARDS: “It hasn’t changed. Same plays, same plays we had last year. It’s the same and a lot of the same players. Sometimes the perception is not the reality. Same playbook. Same terminology.”

Q: But perhaps you can go deeper in your playbook?

EDWARDS: “What we have done is it’s going to be simpler for the receivers because the young guys were going to have to play. That’s why Dwayne Bowe is playing and why Jeff Webb is playing. It can’t be so complicated that it takes the young guys two years to play the offense because they can’t learn how to line up.”

[OnTheWarpath15]

I'm not sure what's supposed to be funny about that. He's right.

The playbook hasn't changed. The personnel has.

Going from a Pro Bowl QB to Damon Huard is reason enough.

Replacing 3 OL, 2 of the Pro Bowlers, hasn't helped either.

The lack of depth on this roster has finally caught up with us.

Period.

[banyon]

The plays aren't the same, or at least the proportions aren't. We used to run screens all of the time and reverses. Now hardly ever (at least until last game). We also run stright up the gut a ton more than trying to stretch the corner.

When you offensive linemen can not hold out the pass rush is when the screen is supposed to work. That is the perfect time.

[Extra Point]

The playbook needs editing, as Edwards fails to understand that our personnel can't execute the 1- or 2-hole dive.

There's literally nothing we do well.

[Bob Dole]

That's just wrong. We've been running primarily straight ahead between the tackles when previously we took advantage of our linemen's skills and had them pull.

Aside from the loss of Roaf and Shields, we're asking our nimble linemen to brawl instead of playing to their strengths.

Maybe that's why it looks so much different, Mr. banyon. The old (two years ago) offensive scheme could and would stretch the field sideline to sideline. We pulled a lot, ran the stretch and screens and put enormous pressure on the enemy DEs, OLBs, and CBs which, in turn, helped the passing game and wore defenses down by the 4th quarter because they had to run so much.

I suppose if you took the same playbook and spend most of your time on the pages that featured the middle rushes, it would appear like a very different offense - which it is.

Exactly.

Running the stretch play would be death at this point.

Our tackles are not athletic enough to get outside.

Waters and Weigmann are the only OL we have that excel in space.

Maybe I don't understand but if nothing has changed then how can you make it simpler for the "Young Guys"? Something has to have changed to make it simpler.

They are definately not running the same offense. They may be running some of the plays from the old playbook but nothing like they used to. And it is overwhelmingly clear that the problem lies at the feet of the O-line.

Hmmm. I need to pull out my tapes. I haven't watched them all because I didn't think I could stand the pain.

But, based on NFL.com's play-by-play after the games, it's sure looked like we've run up the gut a lot.

Herm is a lying idiot. He and Carl can't leave KC soon enough.

Herm Edwards on June 3rd 2007:

Q: Does the offense have to evolve or change at all this year? Last year you kept saying it’s not changing or it didn’t change. Every quarterback has said it has changed.

EDWARDS: “You’re daggone right. That’s exactly right. I’ll take the hit for last year too because I changed it a whole lot. It’s changed some and it’s changed to accommodate our players. That’s what you feel to realize. You can draw these things up on paper and say this really looks good. But you have to evaluate your football team as we did last year and say there are some things we need to differently to protect and enhance what our players can do. It’s a good thing and change makes you grow.”

[Hammock Parties]

We've pulled from the very first game. Look at Brian Waters pull in Houston:

http://i15.tinypic.com/71zslrn.gif

NFL.com defined this as "27-L.Johnson right guard to HOU 24 for 8 yards (59-D.Ryans, 24-C.Brown)."

The problem is we only have one guard that can pull effectively. Welbourn was a slow piece of crap. I'm hopeful Niswanger isn't.

Where we really suck is on sweeps. We used to KILL people with sweeps, with Roaf or Tait leading the way.

[Chiefnj2]

How could Herm not change the offense with the loss of 2 pro bowl linemen, Tony Richardson and Trent Green? Not to mention finally getting a decent WR.

The best thing for Croyle would be to go down with an injury on the first play and get traded in the offseason to a team that has a clue about offense.

[The Bad Guy]

You know what's really funny? When KcChiefsfan88 tries to analyze an offense. Of course, this dipshit still thinks Roaf, Shields and the Casey Weigmann of 4 years ago are still on the roster to run the same offense.

[Halfcan]

Herm is the worst coach we have ever had.

[Messier]

So, when it was thought that Herm had changed the offense everyone was mad because how could you mess with something that was working. Now, when people think Herm hasn't changed the offense people are mad because how could you not with all these new players.

The line is a problem, and not much is going to make them (mainly the right side) any better. What do you you expect?

KC's offensive woes have nothing to do with losing Saunders, changing the offense, or Herm Edwards. It has everything to do with losing Trent Green (arguably the best QB in KC history), Priest Holmes (arguably the best RB in KC history), Willie Roaf (arguably the best LT in KC history), Will Shields (arguably the best LG in KC history), Tony Richardson (arguably the best FB in KC history) and Dante Hall setting up fantastic field position (who is arguably the best return man in KC history.

It is going to take some time to get the offense back on track no matter who we have as head coach, or who we have as the OC. KC lost a lot of valuable offensive weapons to old age and retirement.

He single handedly cut the nuts off the #1 scoring offense in the NFL. He has no backbone, can't manage a game, and has no direction.

The Chiefs will be horrible to watch as long as he is at the helm.

We are on pace to score the lowest points in Chiefs history. I would say that qualifies him as the worst coach.

I know this should be on the Croyle prediction thread, but I think next week he will have one of those really really bad, I'm making my first start, the Colts are mad as hell, pee down the leg, 3 int type games.

Herm does not value scoring and thought he could plug in a bunch of scrubs, dumb down the play book and squeek by 10 to 7 every game.

What player from the Vermeil era is still going strong? Gonzo is. Yes, we could Hall, but everyone here and elsewhere thought his best days were behind him.

Herm came to a team with a bad D and an O that was about to fall off the cliff. He's fixing the D. The O will take time.

Because we had a steller group of guys just waiting to get their shot at stardom? Ronnie Cruz? Kris Wilson? Boomer Grig... ah **** it, he's no fullback.

Why because he was a great guy, awesome leader and did tons of comunity service-not to mention helping PH and LJ put up monster numbers.

T-Rich is ancient. He'll probably retire after this season. Sooner or later you have to find the FB of the future. For as much as people bitch about Herm playing old guys, you'd think they'd leave this one alone.

He was also injured last year, which is the exact reason he was let go.

You have to cut ties eventually. Herm could have kept all 3, but they are all getting older, and everyone wanted a youth movement. Like I said, KC has lost some players to old age, like Dante Hall, TG, and TRich. They could all have still helped KC this season, but for how much longer? It would have happened eventually.

And when you lose a LT like Willie Roaf, you will feel it for years until you get another player to fill the hole. McIntosh is decent, but hasn't been 100% all season.

As far as teams losing Pro Bowlers, and keep on going?...Blame Vermeil for not grooming any young players to fill in for these guys when they left. Vermeil was all about the "WIN NOW" atmosphere. He could have cared less about grooming young players...And it is showing.

[Messier]

Gonzo, Waters, Colquitt, Allen, DJ, Surtain, LJ and possibly Priest.


Uh...did you see the context of the point? First I was refering only to offensive players, and then to players not on the team.

Kind of cuts your list down a bit.

When Vermeil left Philly, the Eagles didn't have a winning season for five seasons.

They started winning again when they played a young quarterback. :hmmm:

Also, I mentioned Gonzo, and I don't know if I consider LJ a Vermeil offensive player. True he started and played well under Vermeil, but he wasn't part of the "glory days" of the Vermeil offense.

Vermeil knew what was happening. He got out when the gettin' was good. And now Herm is cleaning up his mess.

You really have no idea what the **** is going on in the NFL.

You're right, it is Herm's fault. It's his fault that he couldn't find the fountain of youth to keep Roaf, Trent Green, and Shields all in their early 30s.

Seriously, I think you are missing chromosomes. You might want to get that checked out.

You can't have 4 drafts that bad and not think the franchise is going to have some major rebuilding to do. If Vermeil reloaded the roster with some youth in the draft, this team wouldn't be in nearly the mess it is now.

Maybe that's why it looks so much different, Mr. banyon. The old (two years ago) offensive scheme could and would stretch the field sideline to sideline.

You always have to pay for mistakes and missed draft picks. They don't replace themselves.

Top 3 picks from 98 were Riley, Sheehee and Favors.
Top 3 picks from 99 were Tait, Cloud and Stills.
Top 3 picks from 00 were Morris, Bartee and Wesley.

Had the previous coaches hit on those picks DV could have used his vet FA choices differently and draft picks differently.

You are ignoring the fact that Herm had a mess to clean up. Am I removing Carl Peterson from guilt? No. But it's pretty hard to build a team when you have horrible drafts for 4 straight years, and have an ass old team that had it's best players retire.

[kregger]

Uhh, who is the GM? Carl is guilty of letting DV talk him into crappy players who played under his friends and amazingly had glowing recommendations. This is one of Carl's biggest faults in hiring his "buddies". He doesn't know when to say no. It took him finally getting the stones to draft a guy like LJ and look how DV repaid him, whining on and on about how that's not my guy...
DV, you're a coach, please coach the players that the GM gives you and leave talent evaluation to someone who studies players.
This is one reason I'm willing to give Herm some rope. His history as a player and talent evaluator should help in the draft room. Now, please go get some offensive line help before trying to make the defense any better.
