Im not ragging you, really im not. This is not the first time that I have pointed out though how much a difference SPECIFICALLY Bob Sutton was going to have on this team.
Remember, and it wasn't your argument.
"Alex Smith cant win without San Francisco's defense, and Harbaugh. Alex Smith cant win with out a dominant running attack, and a situation where he has to be the guy."
Forget the Jax game. That's a pitiful example. But Alex Smith was every bit of the little bit of the offense that the Chiefs had against a very good defense of the Cowboys.
But, that's neither here nor there. Coaching has made all the difference in the world in the CHIEFS DEFENSE.

Up until the last Chiefs drive Sunday, I would pretty much concur. In fact, I was beginning to think we might not be able to run the ball this year... with Charles as our RB. That was a thought that never had occurred to me this whole off-season.
That last drive to chew up the clock was a thing of beauty though, minus the couple of unnecessary clock stoppages, with the offensive line and Charles taking charge of the game. That is what I expected all along.
I suspect Albert having a visit with the offense on the sideline was the reason for the shift in the rushing game from nil to taking the game over when the Cowboys knew we were going to run it at them. If so, kudos to Albert!
I also suspect that we will continue to be able to run the ball like that last drive from that point forward.
