Alex Smith: Chief's aren't running a "Cookie-cutter" offense
 

Q? FO!

From NFLNetwork byline:

QB Alex Smith tells NFL Total Access that Chiefs aren't running "cookie-cutter" offense and it isn't the same as what coach Andy Reid ran with Eagles and Packers. Catch the entire interview tonight at 7PM ET on NFL Total Access.

We had to take the chocolate chips out of the cookie because Alex Smith is a diabetic.

I think we should have known that already. Reid has said on more than one occasion that he loves Alex's ability to manipulate an offense and make pre-snap reads, so it makes sense that the offense would be built around that.

If he is setting it to Smith's trengths, color me impressed.

Although, I'll wait til preseason and a game or two to make the call.

No. There are many here saying Reid throws it 36 times a game, and that Smith is going to fail because of that.

I like preseason too. But last year the Chiefs shot their wad offensively in the 1st preseason game... never to be seen again the rest of the year.

Until we see it in game situations, it's hard to go against what a coach has done for his entire career.

It's just the way it is.

That was last year. New Coach and QB should mean a totally different look.

Not exactly my point.

Like this place is an authority on anything. ROFL

There are one or two but outside of that...meh. Not so much.

only a few more weeks bitch -- then you will get your shit pushed back in :D

they are going to run the pistol more than people think. Jamaal Charles is going to be the featured player in this offense & when defenses start loading the box & playing tight zone, they will go with the WCO short/intermediate system & hello Dwayne Bowe :D

Reid had a rookie 3rd round QB throw the ball about 38 times per game, yet we are hoping with his own hand picked QB he is going to throw it alot less?

If so, whats that tell you about his hand picked QB?

I don't think coaches change their stripes, I think we'll be a pass first team, but if Reid can tailor that to Smith's strengths it should be a good season.

Who would ever say/admit that they are running a cookie-cutter anything in the NFL? To me, this is not news. Of course he won't use the Eagles offensive playbook. He has different personnel and a much different QB.

It's really just code for "we're not throwing deep."

That 3rd round QB was drafted with that specific offense in mind. Andy Reid drafted him to run that offense he had already installed.

No one knows what kind of offense he's installing here.

Throwing deep is part of a cookie cutter offense? You learn something new everyday.

Its been something like 6 years since the Chiefs had a passing game, anything Reid does here has to be an improvement.

Its going to be beautiful to see Clay go down like the bag of shit he is.

May be the only post you have ever made I agree with.

get ready for The Annexation of Puerto Rico

It's hard to go down any farther than he already is; I don't see him supplanting Sweet Daddy Hate/Lil Chiefy any time soon as the biggest turd in the cesspool.

Here is part of it anyway. Haven't watched the video to see if it is the whole interview.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...-his-skill-set

One week til we ref how great we are Baby!

1 week until we argue over every camp report is more like it.

None of the interview there. Bit of Jamaal Charles' bowtie, but no Alex Smith.

It's a portion of the interview in print. I didn't see any JC.

I think this is exactly what they're going to do. Reid's traditional offense with less deep passing. Designed to get the ball out of Smith's hands quickly, a lot of touches to Charles and other backs (I still think passes > runs by 6-8/game, following Reid's career pattern; lots of passes to backs...). The downfield game's impacted partly because Smith's unable to go deep, partly because they don't really have a dependable deep threat even if he could (Avery's probably the closest). I think the tight ends will be favorable matchups in the intermediate game, as will Bowe. And I think we may see a lot of McCluster early on, then he'll get cycled out gradually.

He mentioned the video, so I was referring to that.

Oh God, we are so screwed.

1 week till the pre camp hype fades and we see another majorly flawed team on the field. It's almost morib curiousity at this point to see what will be the unit that is hyped in camp and fails the hardest in the season.

Yeah, we don't have a deep threat really. What we have is big tight ends and big wide receivers who can exploit the one on one matchups, and they can't double cover everyone.

On coaching changes alone, we should see vast improvement in this team.

I still think the offensive line's a question, until it proves not to be one. Albert and Fisher should have the edges locked up, but I'm still not sure what we have on the interior. Which is I think part of the short/intermediate focus as well.

The Chiefs didn't really run a cookie-cutter offense last year, either.

It was unorthodox to the point of being ****tarded, imo.

So, if it is not like his other journeys on offense. Then it does sound cookie cutter.

Handing off?

It certainly makes sense in terms of him getting rid of Mohningweg and going with fresh blood in Pederson, and bringing in two consultants on offense, if his plan is to tailor the offense more to the personnel he has so that he can hit the ground running. Time will tell though. I think at the end of the day it will still reflect the offensive style that Reid has always believed in, but he's a smart enough coach to where he understands the need to evolve as the game itself is evolving...

haven't they already talked about running a pistol/read option/west coast hybrid type offense?

Alex Smith cannot run a pistol/read option/west coast hybrid type offense because statistics show he could not walk, let alone run, the moment he came out of his mother's womb./Wendler

To some degree. Speculated at the very worst. Starting to come into focus the closer we get to camp.

I believe he already ran a read option offense in college and a west coast offense in the pros. The only new part is the pistol formation which should be a minimal change. Just changing the footwork and timing a bit.

Actually, the reason he couldn't do this, at least if he was running it like Kaepernick and Wilson, is that he can't take the extra contact. He's one of the most injury prone QBs in the league, and if he's carrying the ball on designed running plays 100 times a year he's going to get broken.

educated speculation

Reid ran a WC in philly
they brought in a zone read pistol formation specialist guy during the offseason
Alex smith ran zone read option offense in college
zone read option is the latest NFL fad


1+1+1+1

Agreed.

Not sure what we are going to hear from Smith tonight, but I'm going to tune in anyway.

Like I have said many times, I am pumped for this season. Glad the off season is coming to a close.

Alex Smith ran for over 1,000 yards and 15TDs in college...

Jeez take your tampoon out already- I think it is full. :deevee::deevee:

Andy Reid couldn't wait for the cookies to get done, so he ate the cookie cutter?

That's all I got.

Hopefully Andy Reid has the Marty Schottenheimer playbook because MartyBall is how we will win with Alex Smith, not Andy Reid passing game ball.

Nothing says fail like Alex Smith in a Royals shirt.

Im not sure if serious, but Alex has very good mobility. His problem was, Mike Nolan, and Mike Singletary anchored his ass to the pocket and told him not to run. If Reid unleashes him, and lets him use his mobility like Aaron Rodgers uses his, Alex Smith will become that much more dangerous. Can he do it? I have no effing clue.
He isn't really injury prone the past two years. He got a concussion on a qb sneak dude. In 2011 he took over 40 sacks and was just fine. If he runs and slides, he wont get hit as often.
Its impossible for you to ever be a bigger douche. The guy is embracing the City, and you rip on him for that. kill yourself.

LMAO

That's relevant.

it's going to be a dink n dunk offense.

hooray.

Its not? I guess that means that aaron Rodgers is also Injury prone. Because his first two seasons he ended up on the IR.


Sighs. I guess Peyton Manning is injury prone. He did miss the entire year before last.

Tom Brady is too. 5 years ago he missed the season with a torn acl. All worthless.

The point is, he is a lot tougher, and smarter than you give him credit for. But you know what. Im done with it. You keep flapping, and as the chiefs keep winning, ill keep shoving it down your worthless pie hole. Of course, until win number 8, then ill have to wait for a year....What a SWEET YEAR THAT WILL BE.

Alex Smith has missed a shit ton of games over the years due to injury.

I'm surprised you won't admit to that.

Im not sure what the problem with that is going to be. The truth is, its probably going to be more of a playaction pass offense. Focused on the run, because everyone is going to key on Charles. Im not sure what the problem with a ball control offense is. Especially with the Chiefs personnel. its not like they have the packers receivers. The receivers as a group, outside of Bowe, is mediocre and a bunch of unknowns at best.

It fails.

He missed a year for a surgery. He missed a couple in 10 when he got crushed by the panthers. Yes, I know early in his career, he missed games due to being benched, and to being injured. The truth is, that under Jim Harbaugh he took plenty of hits and got up. Even the hit that he got the concussion on, wasn't even the hardest hit he took in that game. So, I don't know how we can say he is so injury prone if he has proven over the past two years that he can stay relatively healthy.

Shrugs. To each their own. It doesn't surprise me. You will find anything with Alex Smith to nit pick.

He misses a lot of games.

End of story.

except it doesn't. The Ravens and 49ers are two prime examples of it NOT failing. They both played in the super bowl. Both rely on the run game, and playaction passing, both have good defenses. So, it doesn't fail.

In the last two years, how many games due to injury did he miss? He missed 3 quarters. That's it. Shut up.

What?

The Ravens throw the ball down the field. Joe Flacco was tied for 2nd in the NFL in completions over 20 yards.

And in his limited time, Colin Kaepernick had double the completions (19 vs 9) over 20 yards that Alex Smith did.

You don't know shit, son.

Dinking and dunking is a recipe for failing.

That doesn't change anything.

He still misses a lot of games due to injury.

I'm not looking forward to it.

He had the separated shoulder in 2007, reinjured in training camp in 2008, second surgery (I think they screwed up the first surgery). Injured his non-throwing arm a couple of years ago. And the concussion last year. I wouldn't think of him as injury prone. With the separated shoulder, it was like being hit by a freight train. I think pretty much any QB would have been severely injured taking that hit.

These statements contradict each other.

I would like to rub your manly masculine chest with cheese whip in the hope that some of your manliness would be absorbed through my skin. You are a man's man. Not the tough, shoot whiskey, beat the hell out of anyone man's man but rather the nerd, live in your mom's basement, masturbate furiously to Geno Smith pics man's man.

We salute you. Mr. Man's man.

:hmmm: WTF?

I'm building his confidence. Back off man. I'm a scientist.

I don't know how many times we'll throw a game and neither does anybody else. That's entirely dictated by what the opposing defense is giving and how well the run game is producing. Q?

I do. I read the flakes of corn in Reid turds to predict the future.

the real reason peyton didn't come to the chiefs is he saw wendler's posts

If so, then pretty much any QB who has been in the NFL for a number of years would qualify as "injury prone," at which point the term becomes meaningless.

where did I say that the Ravens didn't throw DEEP? Can you argue with me that they aren't a run first team who uses the playaction to set up passing. And yes they do throw deep. They had two really good deep threats in Jacoby Jones, and Torrey Smith. Do you see those type of players on the CHIEFS right now, and did you see them in San Francisco last year? no, you did not, and no you don't. Alex Smith doesn't mind throwing deep. he has been throwing deep with accuracy and precision to Vernon Davis for 6 years. He has never had a problem with Connecting with Vernon. If you give him a deep threat, he will take advantage of it. No, it is not his strong suit, but he can do it. YOu are just so blinded by Alex Smith Hate, that logic eludes you. Alex has said many times, that he would rather throw short, and give his guys a chance to make plays. Which, with Crabtrees shiftiness and run after the catch ability, it makes sense. Alex Smith plays to his strengths. There is nothing wrong with knowing yourself, and doing that. I don't know why this is so difficult for you.

I heard that he was afraid of CE stealing his soul. Think about it. Clay steals photos, photos steals souls, Clay steals souls.

****ing dirty soul stealer.

Man, you guys are ****ing annoying.

Yes he does.

He's afraid.

He plays scared.

May u
May me
Mayo forever.

That's the way it should be.

No. Alex Smith misses a lot of games to injury. Moreso than most QBs.

Trent Green was our QB for six years and he missed 8 games in that entire time span.

Alex Smith has missed 30 games due to injury in his career. That's the worst in the league.
