Herm: No personnel changes

[Hammock Parties]

It's just one line, but this would seem to indicate that Sackintosh will remain at right tackle, Hali will remain at right end, and we will remain the dumbest team in America.

http://www.bobgretz.com/chiefs-football/chiefs-update-108.html

Edwards said there were no personnel changes planned for this week or next.

“The more they play the more they will gain some confidence,” Edwards said of his young roster. “We are at the point now, after five games, they’ve got to feel like they know what it takes. They need to continue to prepare. That’s the whole thing now, teaching them how to prepare each week with a great focus.”

[Micjones]

Fear has paralyzed Herman Edwards.

[FAX]

Herm's going to teach them how to prepare? Jesus.

Herm is famous for not "preparing" his teams. They always start seasons flat or worse than flat ... which is saggy, I think. Either saggy or droopy. Or slumpswagglesunklesucky, maybe.

Herm= Dumbass

[DaneMcCloud]

No change at right tackle?

I think Herm may be aiming to get fired.

No one can be this dumb on purpose.

[Hammock Parties]

From the press conference:


Q: Do you expect to make personnel decisions based on what you see this week?

EDWARDS: “Not really. It’s a young team and they’ve got to continue to play. When they play then they learn, then they have confidence about what’s there and how they play. I think it’s the point. Now after five games, I know what it takes to win. We’re teaching them how to prepare every week with a great focus so that they can be a detail player. We break down too much, we have so many young guys so everyone takes a turn. All of a sudden bad plays occur.”That might indicate he only means to make personnel decisions based on what's already transpired. I'm hoping.

[FAX]

It makes no sense, whatsoever.

McInTrash has to grade out as poorly as any player on the team week to week. Worse, no doubt, than any other lineman on offense or defense. Maybe he thinks that McInTool will have some kind of epiphany and wake up one morning with his technique, strength, speed, and intelligence magically restored. Could happen, I guess.

[1ChiefsDan]

I read the interview on kcchiefs.com - he sounds completely lost. The reporter was lobbing excuses out for him and he would say - yeah, good point, that's why:cuss::cuss::cuss:Asshat

[Hammock Parties]

Hmmmmm.


Q: When Branden comes back are you guys going to move T Herb Taylor to the right side?


EDWARDS: “Herb is a swing tackle, he can play both sides. We’d like to keep those guys together. (T) Damion (McIntosh) has been moved from left tackle to right tackle so he’s kind of learning his way. As well as our right guard (Adrian Jones), he was a tackle before. So that’s something we’ve got to shore up, we’ve got to do a better job over there. Herbie (Taylor) can play both sides and obviously he did a good job last week. He’s come in and played pretty well. We’ll just take a look at all those kinds of situations and see what we need to hit.”

[Hammock Parties]

Herm was kind of vague, I'd say. He probably doesn't want to show his hand to the Titans.

[chiefs1111]

Hmmmmm.

The more he talks,the more I can't stand him

I think your right

[Sure-Oz]

I can't wait till this season is over so this clown gets fired

[KCUnited]

According to the numbers, Jones has yet to give up a sack, plus he knocked ol boy from Denver silly 2 Sunday's ago. Missnwhiff on the other needs to be replaced, nobody talks about Richardson, but I can't see him being any worse in the pass and has an upside in the run.

[2112]

Notice the ''we' and ''them'' comments in that quote. when the Chiefs are winning it's ''I'' did this and ''I'' told them to do that. what an arrogant idiot he is.

[Hammock Parties]

According to the numbers, Jones has yet to give up a sack

Jones is a good pass protector and can get out and move when the Chiefs call for perimeter running plays. His problem is that he's just not very strong at the point of attack. That's why we struggled so much last week. He was going up against a MONSTER DT who ate him alive.

[FAX]

Why would Herm want to be canned? This is the perfect situation for him ... a team whose ownership puts little emphasis on winning. No, Herm is the kind of guy who would rather quit than be fired. That way, he could blame his exit on someone else rather than take responsibility on himself.

My guess is that he believes that stability in the o-line personnel is more important than individual talent at this point. It's the only possible explanation. He does, you know, cling to the coaching maxims he's learned over the years. Well ... the ones he learned 30 years ago, anyhow. And, the criticality of maintaining consistency in the o-line lineup is one of those.

[Iowanian]

Herm....You're an effing idiot.

The right side of the Oline is not going to get better by playing more. McIntosh is a scrub, and Jones is a couple of steps below a jag.

Adrian Jones is a human turnstyle. your QB's will continue to get killed.

I mentioned this once before, but I still think it's hilarious. On our current offensive line...

We moved a LG to LT (Albert)
We moved a C to LG (Waters)
We moved a RG to C (Niswanger)
We moved a RT to RG (Jones)
We moved a LT to RT (McIntosh)

[Iowanian]

I know Jones sucks balls.....thats why I'm for seeing someone else at RG too.

We suck. Find out who can play.

At least dress these young Oline guys and give them a few series/game.

[Mr. Laz]

ya ... because you wouldn't want to make any changes during the team's bye week.

[dirk digler]

Good. That means if we lose big time against the Titans and don't make any changes Herm looks like a bigger idiot and maybe Clark will fire his ass right after the game

[The Franchise]

Sweet....Herm might as well go and break Brodie's back himself.

I would love for once just to see Brodie get sacked because of McIntosh.....and then Brodie runs up and takes out McIntosh's knees.

[FAX]

I'm hoping for halftime.

Wouldn't it be great if Clark came down to the sidelines, took Herm's headset and clipboard, and pointed to the parking lot?

Then, he could coach the second half while the words, "Come Home Bill Cowher!!" flash on the scoreboard.

Awesome.

Not that this will ever happen, but it'd be funny for a coach's press conference after the game to be going on and the owner of the team walk in and tell him to step down he's no longer the coach of the franchise. LMAO

That was real funny until the Cowher part. Then it became sad and depressing, thinking why would I want more of the same?

Only for one year, and it was Herm's last year. Herm thought it would be a good idea to install a downfield passing attack with Chad Pennington at QB. I'm sure D2112 can fill us in on the details.

Yeah, it was the same bullshit you saw here with Solari. Herm blamed everything on Hackett (who had no leg to stand on anyway after that debacle in the last 2 minutes of that 97 playoff game against the Broncos). in comes Hermadinger and Pennington goes down, and Fiedler goes down. then with Brooks Bollinger starting going into Baltimore Herm states ''any drive ending up with a kick is a good drive'' :spock:

The problem is that the common denominator in these abomination's of offensive play calls is Herman Edwards. and he refuses to take responsibility. but he does have a track record now at least. unfortunately for you guys.

[Hammock Parties]

Did Herm try to force R2P2 on Heimerdinger?

Was Adrian Jones at RT for that fateful season? No wonder the QBs got hurt. 'Dinger should have stood on the table and said "Get me a real QB and a real RT."

[chiefs1111]

I'll be shocked if he gets fired. I think if he makes it to 4 wins he's safe as much as I hate to admit it.

I don't see us winning 4 games this year

What is? Nothing is ok. This team is a joke. Its a losing system unless Herm finds some way to move the clock back to the 1970s

[philfree]

Why go through the growing pains of letting McInSack gell with the line when he is 31 years old. He's not the futuure even if he does come around. That's a big "IF" too. Big fucking "IF"! BFI=Big Fucking IF......... Herm like his team is inconsistent.

What sucks more than watching this team, is watching other NFL games like the Monday night Saints vs Vikes. I'm sick of watching exciting football games and then endure this going nowhere fast BS that Herm is serving us. I knew this year was going to be tough to deal with, but the lack of effort on Sunday was sickening. McSuckmydick has to be the worst RT we've trotted out there. Even Turley tried not to suck. I'm for moving Jones back to RT and letting Richardson learn the RG spot. What's the worst that can happen? Brodie get hurt?

You know, this whole deal with McInTrash has fostered a thought thing in my brainpan. I'm sure you guys have seen those movies where the offensive line doesn't block anybody because they don't like the quarterback, right? I wonder if Downfield has said or done something that pissed McInTool off or maybe McInTurd was paid by some other person who, for some reason, harbors animosity towards Downfield and gave him money to dog it on pass plays. I mean, who would have thought that an NBA official would be gambling on games or that professional wrestling wasn't really real. It's possible.

Well that part happened for me when he was still wearing green, but I gave him half a season here, before I detested the sight or sound of him.

I've been for and against Herm so many times, I've lost count.

The last time I was "for" him was when he announced "The Plan". It made a lot of sense under the circumstances ... and still does, in theory. Little did I know that Herm was completely and utterly incapable of executing even the most insignificant aspect or detail of "The Plan". It's like he bought a book on "How To Build A Football Team", called a press conference where he recited the chapter index, then used the rest of the pages to wipe his anal parts.

Eh. This season is broke and there really won't be any fixing it in the immediate future because there is no QB, no Olinemen and no DEs available that can make this team magically unsuck this year; they just aren't on the roster.

Imagine trying to drive a car but the engine burns so much oil that it overheats when driven for any period of time so you have to pull over immediately and park the car until the engine cools. The radiator, which is supposed to protect the engine from overheating is also leaking due to the large hole on the right (about 40% of the radiator doesn't function at all) so it's no real help in the matter and the monster tires you bought a few years ago don't get traction because the dang grass is too tall (at least, that is the problem the tires have named). Now, even if you had a competent mechanic to get those nuts and bolts all twisted, he wouldn't be able to until at least next August because the parts may or may not be on back-order until April or May or June or July. Further compounding the problem, the mechanic you've left the car with is probably going out of business at the end of the year because he's about as useful as left-handed screwdriver so you see there really is no point in debating which piece of aquarium tubing might function as a radiator hose until the new mechanic arrives with his neverending box of Snap-On tools.

Do you think that there could be any possible way that maybe this franchise is doing all this on purpose during the stadium renovations. I mean, 30mil under the cap, and what seems like a team that is TRYING to lose.

Get the 1st pick. Get the top QB, and be in the best cap shape imaginable.

These guys have got to be able to see what we see.

If this is the case. It's pretty slick. My guess, they're all fuckin idiots.

I'm sure someone else has brought this up....but I had to chuckle at this Herm quote.

Now after five games, I know what it takes to win.

Sad thing is I really honestly don't think Herm is smart enough to be a HC. I just really don't. He ran the Jets into the ground......granted a lot of things happened here in KC where he couldn't avoid like the Oline, Roaf and Shields retired and Carl never did anything in the previous regime to replace them.....a lot of players got old.

I know he wants to get younger....but you can get younger and still compete. Trading Allen was a HUGE mistake....I've said that from the beginning, our pass rush was barely average with him as we had no push up the middle. We are starting to develope pass rush up the middle (They are getting better) but now have no rush from the outside ends. For whatever reason we take an avg DE and put him over on his weak side and expect him to do just as good? WTF is wrong with this team? Hali was brealy and avg DE playing LE to being with. Allen, Dorsey, Tyler, Hali would be a good Dline IMO.

Just another major mistake rebuilding this team from top to bottom. We got a backup safety and blocking TE for the best pass rusher in the NFL.....unbelievable.
