Mods have you checked this smellway out to see if it is the ole Go Chiefs?
Has he been let back in to see if he has changed while not letting the other members know?

I'm new here. Please treat me with respect and I will do the same to you in turn.

You need ECT that is for sure. I am one semester from a Bachelors degree in Business Management with a minor in Finance.

Please answer my direct question.

Never been here before.

None of us has.

Hopefully we run the ball near 30 times a game. Looking at this https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/sta...ate=2015-11-12 we were 21st in rushing attempts per game when Charles went down, and up to 9th at the end of the season.

This. Smith is never going to be the gunslinger people want him to be. He's going to take care of the football, complete a high percentage of his throws, use his feet effectively, keep his defense out of shitty positions as much as possible, and put the team in a position to win.

Chiefs get to the end healthy... they have as good a shot as any.

Go Chiefs.

I just hope they don't go back to Jamaal left, Jamaal right, Jamaal up the middle. They've got plenty of weapons now, I hope they continue to spread it around and not get overly focused on Charles. As good as he is, he'll be better if the defense needs to account for everyone.

Translation:

I am worried that this is Go Chiefs and my Alex Smith feelings are already getting hurt.

With Andy Reid, concluding this off of rushing attempts probably isn't all that on point. The offense became more efficient during the win streak.. which means they were bound to be having more offensive plays per game with the sustained drives.

By the numbers, KC ran the ball well enough in 3 of the first 5 games.. some may say 4 out of 5. The problem early on that I recall.. and that Football Outsiders noted during that time.. was that KC was in the lower tier of teams in rush success rate.. which was an indication of poor consistency ( could and did rip off some nice gainers, but mixed with plenty of runs stuffed ). I blame this on Andy's play selections as much as the OL blocking.

I do like the idea of a balanced offense though. I'm frequently complaining about the lack of Anthony Sherman leading the way too.

That's not clay.

Either him or dagnabbit is probably ror, though.

We will be throwing the ball downfield more because the offensive line will be able to consistently pass block for the first time since 2005.

Have they cleared up how this 2 OC situation is going to work?

I'd also like to see Andy gamble more on 3rd and 4th and short (when situation and game flow says it makes sense.)
