Uh what...if you're talking 2 minute drill its because the defense knows you're passing the ball...

You don't do it for an entire game because it's not wise to tip off your plays before the snap.

It's a transition thing. Making the transition from college to the NFL.

Being a LT in a spread offense in college is easy. You rarely have to run block, you rarely have to pass block for more than 2 seconds, and you're lining up against a lot of guys on a week to week basis that will be doing something other than playing football for a living - with rare exception.

Being a LT in a true spread offense in the pros would be hell.

You're facing the best of the best, week in, week out, and have to actually hold your block long enough for NFL level plays to develop - combined with the added speed of the game - and you're ****ed. And that's just the pass blocking part of the equation.

This.

Thigpen is just another Printers, Grigsby, Sippio. Chiefs fans are just attached to shit players.

Marc Boerigter FTW!

No, it didn't.

Look at the sack numbers.

I've posted them several times.

why do you always use him? he got hurt, knee injury, wasnt the same after

It's only important if the rest of the team is worth a sh**... I'm saying you shouldn't worry too much about that until you have the other major problems fixed.

yup,people actually thought he could be a starting wide out ROFL

You really have no idea what the spread actually is, do you?

The 2-minute offense is not necessarily a true spread offense.

And FWIW, "when it matters most" usually means when you're desperate to get points to win/tie a game. You don't go to this crap for an entire game.

You get your QB first then fix the rest.

I think a top 5 pick QB is like the rims. So few of those guys are really worth the money. You just don't know and it's fine if you have the luxury of f-ing around with them, but we don't we have real needs at other positions. I just don't want to be sitting here next october bitching about how Sanchez doesn't have any time to throw or how it sucks that he had a season ending injury in the first game of the season because our o-line is crap.

It is fine and dandy to use the spread offense, but you aren't ever going to make the Super Bowl running just the spread offense in the NFL.

croyle didnt get sacked as much because when he played we were a run first team, the pass suprised the defense, not so with thigpen

What teams have actually done that successfully? Go from a 2-14 team drafting a QB to a SB contender with that QB. I just can't think of any that have done it.
