Do you prefer the "old"/Vermeil style or the "new"/Herm style of play?

[FloridaMan88]

Vermeil-era vs Herm-era (all 2 games of it) by the numbers from today's KC Star:


New vs. Old: Comparing two coaches' styles
The Kansas City Star
It’s been only two games, but here’s how the Chiefs have fared in Herm Edwards’ brief tenure as coach (top) compared with five seasons under Dick Vermeil.


Edwards Category Vermeil
8.0 Points for 27.0
16.0 Points against 22.9
129.0 Rush offense 137.3
130.5 Rush defense 124.4

I honestly believe that Herm probably feels that Green going down was a blessing in disguise. Ill go out on a limb and say that we will continue to play the same style of football we saw in Denver even when Green returns. We will open it up slightly of course, because Green is a better passer than Huard, but what we witnessed on Sunday, was basically the style that Herm wants to play. I think its a sound way to win games, but the QB has to make a few more plays and obviously Green can do that more than Huard.

Well, considering the winning percentage in the Herm era is .000, I guess I prefer the DV style so far.

Can we combine the two, Vermeil's offense with Herm's defense/control over players.

With a time machine, perhaps we can retrieve Richardson, Roaf and a healthy Trent Green.

I don't.

That's not Herm's style. He dumped Paul Hackett in NYJ and brought in an OC to go down the field.

I don't buy for a minute that Herm wants to throw 2-yard passes all game.

I said he would open it up some, but for the most part, he would prefer to have LJ & Bennett grind it out 35 times a game. At least with Green in there, there is a threat of throwing down the field which should open up lanes for LJ. Of course, this all depends on the O-line protection.

thats not true!!!

herm defended hackett until he no longer could..he had no choice but to get rid of Hackett..

and if you look at last years game between the Ravens and the Jets..it was one of the worst exhibitions of coaching I have ever seen..that was the week after pennington went down..

herm's quote was..''any drive that ends in a kick is a good drive''

Dick Vermeil made the same mistake with Greg Robinson.

Herm has learned from his mistake, IMO.
