Are you trying to say the Chiefs are fitting their offensive scheme to the talent available?
I doubt Martz would be running the same offense with this same talent.
As for offensive components Kitna is a vet, but not nearly as talented with the pass as Croyle. Kennison and Bowe are more than enough talent to do what Martz is doing with Williams and Johnson. The Chiefs have the edge at RB and TE while I believe the Lions have only a slight edge on OLine.
I was watching them run pass plays on first down yesterday from the exact same formation that Solari only runs from and having great success. The Chiefs have the talent to run those same plays, but they don't.
The Chiefs need talent, which is not debatable. That does not mean they are using the talent they have that is the sad part.
