There is absolutely no way you can look at this game objectively and not understand that the change at QB makes EVERYTHING else possible.

That statement is devoid of logic and is utter nonsense. A 'game plan' is the plan put together for a particular game. If the offense had been "built around Matt Cassel" one might expect that it would include a heavy dose of plays he can execute. The offense for the last 2.5 years has not been built around Matt Cassel, it's been the offense Haley has wanted to run without a quarterback capable of running it. Same for the running game based on pounding Jones up the middle with an undersized line that is more suited to lateral movement. That's the same reason Palko's mobility wasn't used and Haley tried to shoehorn him into the role of pocket passer.
Had Haley still been in at HC the Chiefs starting Palko, he would have run the same look and the same pattern: Jones in between the tackles on first down. Battle between the tackles or McCluster a draw on second down. A short pass to Bowe or Breston for 7 yards followed by a punt. If a screen or pass worked, there would be no follow up, just Jones in between the tackles on first down.
Also, can anyone explain how the improvement in the running game during the first half is a direct result of the change at QB. |
