Chiefs Playcalling is not the issue - Page 7

Kansas City ranked 19th in the NFL points per play.

We had always been at the top until last year.

We traded an abysmal LT for a negative LT and an elite guard for a negative guard.

I get why the Chiefs are so hesitant to commit to this long term. Our whole left side was being caved in and we had nothing pounding the rock all game.

Are there any NFL starters who currently rank lower than Morris?

The problem, IMO, is some of the "rabbits" he's pulling out are created because he runs out of a decent pocket or doesn't read things out.

He's just not playing well. Yes, he's been under pressure. Some of that is his own fault.

Of Tackles that have played 125+ snaps, Morris is graded at 72/83. There is a reason he was benched and replaced with a Guard. And there is a reason we signed Humphries. He is terrible. The coaching staff and Mahomes has lost confidence in him.

Here are the 11 Tackles below him.

Evan Neal

Trevor Penning

Broderick Jones

Warren McClendon Jr.

Fred Johnson

Germain Ifedi

Demontrey Jacobs

Nicholas Petit-Frere

Stone Forsythe

James Hudson III

Chris Hubbard

I see two names that I was told we should have traded up for instead of taking FAU and Worthy. Interesting. It's almost as if it is all a crapshoot.

This is just the pass blocking grade, by the way.

To put it in perspective how godawful our offense is, you have to go back to 2012 for the Chiefs to be this bad in yards per play. *2012*. LT is worst in the league; RT is terrible. All the money spent on the interior doesn't even make a difference if your tackles are as bad as ours. New England's offensive line is supposedly just absolutely brutally bad, and we're just marginally better in yards per play.

Everyone is rightly concerned with the injury status of Mahomes, but DJ being anywhere near a 100% for the playoffs is huge, too. He could make all the difference.

Umm wut?

We have our tackle issues.

You know how you help?
Adjust to 3 step drops..Quick throws and run the ball.
That is all on the coaching.

Patrick also needs to do this for his own protection.

I will say though I am hoping most of the missed throws last week were to the wind and moisture.

For some reason we abandoned the run. It was more effective than our passing.

-1, 6, 12, 7, -1, 8, 1, 4, 11, 7, 1, 9, 3, -1, 2, 4, 4, 21, 0, 1, -2, 3, 0, 5, 2, 0, 1, 11.

Most of our stops are from obvious rushing downs or galling. And the fact we always run from shotgun imo.
