What will the offensive gameplan be against the Chargers?

**Bowser** · 12-13-2006, 10:22 AM

Do you think Herm and Solari learned from last week's offensive debacle, and are going to open it up, or are we going to see LJ left, LJ right, then incomplete/punt again? I'm not a betting man, but......

Here's my idea....

Come out and run the frickin' two minute offense the whole game. The WHOLE game. Put in Trent in shotgun using two tight ends. Have Jason Dunn and LJ/Bennett flanking Trent with Gonzo flexed wide. Throw it 50 times if you have to. Lots of slants and quick outs - incorporate short to medium throws, or else Merriman and Phillips might very well kill Trent.

With the way San Diego is scoring, it's going to be our best chance, imho, to keep up with them, unless our defense remembers how to play defense.

Ideas?

I love that idea, Mr. Bowser. Just go out and play street ball. Let Trent make the calls at the line and mix in the draw and the shovel pass.

Great plan. Seriously.

Thanks.

I know LJ is a workhorse, and has done all he can this year (made even more impressive given his patchwork O-Line), but I keep hearing Herm at the beginning of the year talking about how you run the ball on the road to beat playoff teams. That hasn't worked because if nobody respects your ability to pass, everyone os going to play the run (duh).

Mix it up on these guys. If there is one thing the Chargers have looked average at, it's in pass defense. I'd love for them to come out in that tight bunch formation they run out of, and break out a flea flicker. Do it the first play.

My bet is Colquitt's leg will be quite sore come Monday.

InChiefsHeaven · 12-13-2006, 10:37 AM

Unfortunately, that method just puts our defense on the field longer...

...but I agree. Now is the time to have our big boys step up. Dink and dunk, screen pass, draw plays, tons of play action...

...I'd like to see 60% pass, 40% run. But I don't think it's going to go that way. Unless we are forced into passing by them getting a huge lead...in which case we're fooked anyway.

Herm was in awe of SD when he was talking yesterday. I think it'll be more run, run, pass, punt.

Dante Hall will run one back for a td

Hopefully, it won't be some meaningless score at the end of the game...unless we're way ahead of course.

We've got that one mastered. Time to take the governor off the engine.

Run up the middle.
Run up the middle.
Long 3rd down pass.
Punt.

If it ain't broke…

B_Ambuehl · 12-13-2006, 10:56 AM

It doesn't matter what they hell they do on offense. Last time they went out on the road this defensive football team gave up 400 + yards and 30 points to an anemic Browns offense. Before that they made an equally unimpressive Joey Harrington led Dolphins football team look like the greatest show on turf. This defense can't play road games against good football teams.

Well, at the very least, it will bring a tear to Marty's eye as he watches flahbacks to the glory days of the Chiefs.

I really don't want to think about the game plan or the game. These idiots have already quit for the year, and we're gonna get slaughtered on national television. I wonder if the players will wear helmets on their heads or bags.
