I like Andy Reid as a coach but the man needs to remember there is such thing as running the ball. Like so many other offensive minded head coaches, he has become so tunnel vision with the pass he has neglected a important aspect of keeping defenses honest and wearing them down with the run.

I cant say I disagree with you.

Everytime I saw Cyrus play, I couldn't get a certain player out of my mind.

I'm not gonna say his name.

IMO they should have cut him to sign Smith...not Routt.

Hopefully, they let Brown play a lot more because he needs to playing time to help him develop.

I still think the kid has some real potential.

Peyton Hillis will be fine. A runner like him can't have 8-9 guys stacking a line and playing 15 yards and in.

:)

This is why you hire a defensive head coach and give an offensive coordinator free reign.

For example, hire a defensive coach then hire Norv as your offensive coordinator.

Because people didn't do that in Cleveland because they were worried about Colt "Bret Favre arm strength" McCoy throwing down the field. LMAO

Stop making excuses for the pussy.

He runs like LJ circa 2009.

no ****ing retreads

I'm not making excuses. I'm pointing out reality. I'm watching defenses play 1-deep safety coverage, and defenses are literally not honoring ANYTHING beyond 15 yards. You have an interior runner and a wall of defenders. Even Jamaal Charles has been 50/50 behind this.

At this point, apart from the QB, it's hard to take much stock in how bad a lot of these players are. Because nobody is playing close to their potential, but that doesn't rule out that they could with a new regime.

Mixed feelings about Andy Reid. He fits a lot of the things you want. But he has had a lot of opportunities. We certainly could do worse. He would give the Chiefs instant legitimacy at the position much like Vermeil did after that other run of horrible coaches.

Actually, for as bad as the Browns' QBs were in 2010, they were generally throwing the ball for over 200 yards on a regular basis. They started to tighten up a lot in 2011 as they moved to Shurmur's offense and Shurmur put no trust in McCoy. Incidentally, that was the same time that Hillis started to shut down.

Hillis isn't a Bettis back that can destroy everyone in his path. He needs a little bit of a head of steam. That doesn't happen when the only thing open is a brick wall.

only thing open is a brick wall? even with teams stacking the box we STILL HAVE ONE OF THE BEST OFFENSIVE LINES IN THE LEAGUE.

we have a top 10 LT and a top 5 RT. And the patchwork in the middle is even decent.

We arent some Eagles offensive line missing the best LT in game and their RT and has a bunch of other bums on it..

The fact of the matter is guys like Matt Cassel and Peyton Hillis are fools gold. Pats Tree bullshit Pioli and Daboll fools gold
