Interview with HE on 38 Sports Spot last night.

[Coogs]

Anyone else see it?

If this has been discussed already, my bad. Just didn't see a thread about it. HE was on for the entire 30 minute segment. Jack Harry did the interview.

A few key points.

Edwards indicated we may rush the ball up to 10 more times a game to utilize our offensive line and RB better, plus keep the defense on the sideline longer.

The play action pass may be used more.

Plans to use the draft to build this team more than the FA route. Will take best athlete available weather it be offense or defense. Will not reach on a player in the draft.


Had other comments, but these were the ones I found interesting.

Isn't that the one where Kris Wilson ends up behind center with Bartee in the slot?

I think we should use Wilson on running plays as the RB, he'd be sure to score everytime he touches the ball.

Why you ask? Because nobody will ever be able to see him on the field.

He really likes the word obviously... also likes "the last time I checked".... I commented on both of those after his first interview, and this one confirms it.

I wonder if the Chiefs would consider hiring a media consultant for Herm, Mr. Fire Me Boy!. He could use some coaching. He could also use a thesaurus. His rhetoric is repetitive, redundant, and reiterative, too.

It's wearing on my sensibilities. I find myself waiting for the next, "last time I checked" instead of listening to what he's actually saying. If nothing else, DV spoiled me in respect to his ability to handle interviews and press conferences.

What with DV saying things like, with DV saying things like this quite possibly, yeah like this quite possibly? Or the way he talks about the players, about the players. I repeat the players that's what you're saying aren't you, I thought so, I thought so.
That drove me up the wall, up the wall.

Herm always has a phrase he repeats continuously during a speech and/or interview.

Without reading any further I am betting on "last time I checked."

An excellent argument, Mr. picasso. My compliments.

Nobody's perfect, of course. My humble but well-thought-out opinion is that DV is one of the all time best at press conferences. I found him to be consistently entertaining and oftentimes even interesting.

When the Herminator speaks, on the other hand, he gives the impression that his pants are too tight and it's sombody else's fault.

So true.

Yep! We are finally going to play Chiefs football again. Run.... Play-action pass.... control the clock... and tough defense. After 1 playoff year in the last 10, it's about time we get back to something that works in KC.

And for you other guys, didn't mean to ruffle your feathers with the DE thing. I just used DV for Dick Vermiel, AS for Al Saunders, etc. Just thought I would stay with the same trend.

I'd say that this is a "glaring" example.

Fool. There was nothing wrong with the offense. We did ALL of those things last year.

I never saw much of a problem with playing MartyBall during the regular season. It worked for us, though our defense was much more respectable back then. The problem with Marty's scheme was that in high-pressure situations, he played too conservatively and wasn't gutsy when he needed to be.

And alliterative, apparently!

The only part I liked was the more play action pass part. But really overall its not a big thing. Running the ball 70% of the time is a big deal I want more balance. Dick around with the D and leave the O alone.
