What is the best way to stop Gannon ?

[crazy chiefs fan]

Do you key a LB on him,or do you wait for him to move 1st and take your best shot! I don't want no harm to any player,but if he goes out,I don't believe Hoying can move them well enough!

I feel the defense will do OK with the rest of the offense they have,but Gannon's legs have got to be minimized! http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif

Your thoughts on how to stop him ?

[Devin Vierth]

Let's send Denise out there this week-endand wear him out so he would be too tired to play on Sunday. http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif

Clemmons didn't play the 1st game,can you imagine Gannon gett'n blindsided by him? Out in the open he won't take a hit like McNair did,Gannon is to smart for that,Slid'n around not to take the big hit!

[Yosef_Malkovitch]

Are you taking up a collection for her? I'll bet we could get major contributions from the other board if that meant she wouldn't post there for the whole weekend. http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[Yosef_Malkovitch]

McNair was blindsided by Clemmons. We need to put a hurtin on him a couple of times so he'll think twice about vacating the pocket.... I'd rather see him in the whole game so we don't have to modify our gameplan for a new QB. We know how well our coaching staff makes adjustments mid-stride....

[DoktorSmith]

The trick with keying a LB on him is that the LB can't commit to stopping him too soon...if Gannon sees the LB leave his coverage area, he'll dump it off and get yards that way...

My plan would be to be sure that the DEs contain as best as possible...show more blitzes than the first game...get to him early and often and make him think twice...if he does scramble...knock the hell out of him so he might hesitate the next time he thinks about leaving the pocket...

Make him beat us long...it won't happen...if we allow him those little dump offs and 8 yard slants or to get out and run...we are in for a long day...

if all else fails...as someone already said...put Denise in the game...

[crazy chiefs fan]

I dont feel you can call McNairs shot ,blindsided,McNair never saw Clemmons till just before the hit! Gannon won't be hit like that unless it is blindsided,he will slide!

"What is the best way to stop Gannon ?"

Hummm, I prefer a 30.06 from the flood-light platform.

[DoktorSmith]

JOhn, why take the chance...how about some C4 in his helmet...or better yet, just take out the entire locker room...I hope the ATF or FBI isn't monitoring this BB... http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/eek.gif

[DaKCMan AP]

The best way is to keep him in the pocket with no lanes to run through or outside. he starts to get very happy feet, dance around and even panick a little when there is nowhere for him to run.

[mcnall]

We gotta knock their butts in the dirt, kick-em in the groin, go up in the stands and hit his mommy in the mouth.

Uh, I mean play good solid football and win the turnover battle.<BR>

Arash,
Not a bad idea, but is there room for his head still? Besides the helmet might create to much shrapmetel. Of course that also might take out a few other raiders players....

[DaKCMan AP]

JOhn - 58forever is Joe, not Arash...

[AustinChief]

I think someone needs to take their 4-wheel-drive-all-terrain-vehicle and use it to "tackle" the scrambling Gannon...

[alanm]

Contain him and make him throw long. Take away the 3-6 yard dinkdunk game underneath and blitz straight up the middle. The DE's job is containment, not sacks. I know that sounds odd coming from an old QB-Crushing Homer like me, but Gannon is dangerous when he improvises. Collapse the pocket around him, do not over-pursue up-field.

Gannon will not beat you with 20+ yard passes. He is the best at the dinkdunk game, so force him to beat you down-field. If he does so, tip you hat with all due respect and turn your attention to who will be our HB next season.

If Schottenheimer pulls out the soft zone, storm the skybox and hurl him to the turf below. Anyone who wants to give Raye a few dope slaps as a preemptive measure would not be criticized.

still sick to his stomach from the soft zone in Raiders 1.<BR>

DOH!!!

Sorry bout that, I get confused...LOL

Not enough coffee yet

[crazy chiefs fan]

I like #1.... Let's take up a colection! She has my .02 worth! http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif

[darkchief]

Blitz some scrub player like Carlton Gray and have him take a real clean shot at Richie's knee on the 1st play. 1 personal foul, 15 yds, and backup QB is in the rest of the game.

------------------
It looks I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!

[Lurker Brett]

LOL@#14 although tossing Kurt out of the skybox would be took quick a death.

I say drag him out into the Oakland parking lot wearing his KC garb and put a sign on him that says,

"I've had your sister but she isn't as good as your mom".

[Ugly Duck]

The same question was asked of Gun on kcchiefs.com and his answer lead me to believe he thought we defensed him properly in the first game, and that there's no need to change philosophies. Maybe he's trying not to tip his hand, or maybe his is that dumb.

[Mark M [BornChiefs]]

I agree with the DE contain theory, blitz the middle and contain the short passes..it would be nice to see Rich diggin plenty of grass out of his helmet sunday.

I aggree with storming the box if kurt goes with soft zone...But I'm not going to Oakland without my .40 and I think the airport frowns on those?

[dallaschiefsfan]

Pressure up the middle is the key. You cannot give that guy an escape route up the middle. And when you do get a hold on him, wrap up and make a sound takle. When he got out of the grip on that first drive last game and scrambled for the first down and it turned out to be one of the key plays of the game. If he gets sacked there they punt and no touchdown.

[AustinChief]

On the first series of downs that Oakland gets... Before the ball is hiked as Gannon lines up behind the center, have McGlockton or Bush jump the line and nail the sucker!!!! Should be the best 15 yard penalty ever...

And then do it again! and again!

Hell, have everyone blitz before the ball is hiked...
http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[ansonsdad]

I like #1 as well. If we send her to their last practice she could wear out the whole team. Count me in on raising the funds.

BIG DADDY
You go girl.

[ansonsdad]

You know I live in the bay area. If I ran a little video the trip could pay for itself.

BIG DADDY
Just being cheap.

[DoktorSmith]

But who would buy the video?...of course the Oakland fans might buy it if it was a snuff film...damn...are violent today or what?...

"Lorena Bobbitt takes the field as center for the Oakland Raiders.

Gannon approaches center for the hike.

Gannon goes down at the snap! Oh no! The play is blown dead!

There's blood on the football! I can't believe it. Gannon has been emasculated by an Oakland Raider!"<BR>

[darkchief]

Hoying is the Raiders backup QB?

I believe Bobby Hoying !

My bad. His name is right there in the topic. I was too concerned w/maiming Denise's idol to read the entire thread.

"What is the best way to stop Gannon?"

Send Edwards in on a blitz and slap him upside the head.

CHIEFS!!

[crazy chiefs fan]

Any luck gett'n donations for Denise? Maybe she would like to play center for the Raiders! Gannon would be right where she wants him then! http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/smile.gif

[chiefsfan58]

LOL I just read through all the posts and the Denise plan would make sense.....classic!

"...He knows that he has to keep it up and keep it up for four quarters every game."


This is a direct quote taken from another Chiefs source...as it relates to a QB in Sunday's game...

keep what up?...hmmmmm....

now I know how the media can twist things...a little editing...not naming specific sources...I should get a job with the Inquirer.

Denise and I have smoked a peace pipe of sorts... but I've been busting out laughing at these insights on how to beat Gannon...
Funny thing is, it would probably work!!!
http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/eek.gif

[Tomahawk Chop]

the best way to stop ol gannon is to not play that crappy soft zone we played against them in the second half. let them have their 3-5 yard gains. If and it is a big if we have the lead by a touchdown or more at the half we have to score more points instead of trying to protect the lead as in the first meeting. Yea we almost lost the game in Seattle but we had i believe two touchdowns dropped one by the gonzo and alexander both of whom have been incredible in our new found passing attack. so B-E A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E!!!

[crazy chiefs fan]

Well ,It's quit'n time,you guys keep up the donations for Denise to Oakland tonight,check in with ya tomorrow!

[ansonsdad]

I just want you guys to know that I DO NOT want to see denise nude.I am having second thoughts about that video thing.

BIG DADDY
But then again I would be witness to the first time she ever SHUT UP http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Denise nude ? http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/redface.gif

OMG ! http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

It might distract Gannon ? http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/cool.gif

[rtmurphy223]

I hope we break gannon's neck the first time he tries to run on us and leave him flopping on the ground like a spineless jellyfish. Nothing pisses me off like a scrambling quarterback. We've taken out three so far, let's hope for #4 this sunday!

I am glad to see that Gonzo88 is as much of a humanitarian as I am when it comes to Chiefs opponents.

[rtmurphy223]

Watch out, ptlyon, people are going to be challenging our "class" here in a minute. It will probably be the same people that boo the punt, pass, and kick people at the Arrowhead games.

There will be some kettles calling the pot black here shortly.

Go take your cry baby story to someone who cares. It's old and needs to be retired. Kind of like Gannon.

My take was that I get sick of Gonzo88's bitching about people who boo. He's a whiner and a little beeatch.

[AustinChief]

All we gotta do is find some kind of DUI record on Gannon and publish it just prior to game time!!!!!!

On second thot, with the Oakland crowd it probably wouldn't matter! The stands will be full of FUI's anyway!
http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif<BR>

[crazy chiefs fan]

I believe we can still get Denise a plane ticket ! Maybe the Chiefs will let her fly for free? http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

[AustinChief]

Kinda like the movie "The Replacements" where the cheerleaders/strippers used their talents to distract the opposing team?<BR>

[Oregon Chief Fan]

We need to keep Gannon lateral behind the l.o.s. If he runs, let him run to the sideline, he wont get around the ends. Ive got a good feeling about this one boys......
