Haley going to run conservative Offense
 

Matt Cassel - QB - Chiefs

Chiefs HC Todd Haley wants to run "a meat and potatoes offense" in 2011.
That's good news for Jamaal Charles' fantasy stock, and bad news for Matt Cassel's. Former OC Charlie Weis reportedly left because he wanted "to use a lot of shotgun and spread formations while jazzing up the offense," while Haley wanted to remain conservative. After it became public that Weis was leaving last season, Cassel posted a 0:5 TD-to-INT ratio in two games.

yay Herm ball..fml

Not Good !

His version of conservative and Herms are light years apart.

Weis's offense lead to Cassel's best year. The meat and potatoes approach led to a shit offense in 2009. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

I really find this difficult to believe, since Haley ran a lot of spread in Arizona, and Weis made his money as the Patriot OC by sticking to the run game even when they had marginal success.

The only thing that might lend this credibility is if that Haley believes that Cassel is the weak link and he believes that limiting Cassel and running the ball gives him the best chance to succeed.

That is definitely not what Haley ran in Arizona. At all.

This was my first thought, he has no confidence in Cassel.

This will get Jamall killed.

huh?

Ummmmm...is this okay with Mr. Bill Muir?

This.

Weis never ran the spread while he was at ND.

I'd be interested to know where the quote comes from. Sounds a bit like speculation to me, but it's tough to tell.

WTF? Seems like the exact opposite. This better not be true.
