Chiefs 10 Keys to Success or Failure for the 2013 Chiefs - Page 4

**BossChief** · 05-17-2013, 12:06 AM

I think this upcoming season is filled with as much intrigue as any in the last 10+ years because of all the uncertainty at so many positions. I truly believe this team can be anywhere from 5-11 to 13-3 depending on how these factors play out...

1) Alex Myths ability to handle the workload that Andy Reids offense will demand. If he is able to continue the efficiency he had when be was throwing less in SF, but add to his attempts...he has a chance to help us win a lot against our schedule. Alex was on pace for a 26 touchdown and 3500 yard year in an offense that he would have been around 425 pass attempts the whole year and Andy will probably want another 100 pass attempts to be added to those. If he can't handle it and Andy Reid scales things back a notch we will still end up 7-9/8-8...but if he IS able to handle it and maintains the effectiveness he had last year with increased attempts, he could have a big year and guide us to a lot of wins. No doubt.

2) The defenses ability to take advantage of the scheme that should be predicated on getting more pressure than in years past by attacking more and sitting back less. Our linebacking corps are gonna straight up rape faces in this scheme. The players ability to change their mentality in how to play defense across the board is a huge factor...especially how soon they "get it" because this team can't afford to get into an early hole in the win loss column.

3) The usage of Eric Berry. I put this high on my list for a reason...the guy has been used incorrectly all three years in KC and if he is used correctly he should be an absolute game changer. This "third linebacker in the nickel" stuff needs to get gone and stay gone. This guy destroyed worlds at Tenneesee by taking the ball away and making huge hits and when Kiffen got there, be
changed all that and Eric has been used that way ever since. The way we have used him has completely nullified his playmaking ability and speed in the center of the field. We need to have that ballhawk back there intercepting passes and taking them to the house, not playing in the box most the game.

4) Sean Smith and Dunte Robinsons ability to play effective coverage. This is another situation similar to that of Alex Myth IMO...in that it can go drastically good or bad. I think we will score some points this year and those two will be under pressure. These two can make the secondary a strength or weakness.

5) Jon Baldwin taking to coaching and starting to realize his potential. This kid has amazing upside, but at the moment he looks like a bust. I think this is a career defining year for him. If he is able to become a solid #2 that can make some plays for us, this offense should start to be fun to watch. If not, this will likely be his last year in KC.

6) The fringe guys from the last two years drafts starting to show up and play at an effective level. Guys like Powe, Hudson, Allen, Bailey, Stephenson and Brown. All of those guys have potential to be quality starters or valuable role players if they can take to new coaching. They also have the potential to all need replaced for varius reasons.

7) Andy Reid molding his playcalling to fit the talent we have on board and not trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. I think he can push Alex Myth to 500 pass attempts, but not much more. If we can have a 50:50 split or maybe 55:45 in favor of the pass, I think we can win games...if be tries to throw it 35 times per game...I'm not sure we can be as effective that way.

8) The tight ends living up to their billing. We have a chance to have one of the best TE groups in the NFL if Kelce and Fasano can bring to the field what they do on paper. This Kelce kid is huge and moves very well and seems to have very good hands and instincts...a real player if he can develop his skills and stay out of trouble. It speaks to the talent of the position group that Moeaki may be the third tight end. They should be able to help seal the edge with Eric Fisher and, a few plays later, catching a couple big yardage passes. If Kelce is as good as some think, we may really have something to see on offense.

9) The defensive line being able to generate pressure and get a push. Guys like Jackson, Bailey, Poe, Powe and Devito need to be able to take advantage of linemen trying to keep the linebackers in check. If we can get this position group to play with some intensity, this defense could be just nasty. If they aren't able to do so, teams will control the LOS on us and dictate the tempo.

10) Someone stepping up on special teams and becoming a playmaker. We have the coach that can design the plays to help our return game, but someone needs to step up and fill the role of Arenas while giving us some homerun ability. Maybe Wylie will be that guy...sure would be nice to have a threat as a returner again, it's been awhile.

We deserve so much better.

As do our good players who will now retire ringless due to a never ending shit parade of cock gobbling passers suffered throughout their entire careers.

We wasted Jamaal Charles on Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen, Matt Cassel and Alex Smith.

Life's a bitch and then you die.

I apologize to all the Mormons on this board who read my comments. It was rude of me to even suggest that a walking vomit stain such as Alex Smith was associated with your kind. I'm sorry.

chiefzilla1501 · 05-18-2013, 06:16 AM

I was drunk last night when I posted. Here are my thoughts:
1. Don't think Smith or Dunta matter. CBs don't win championships. These guys are adequate enough
2. A lot of Eric Berry's problems might be mental. Don't know about Sutton's scheme, but he'll get Berry, DJ, etc... to play with their head on straight
3. Disagree on Baldwin's upside. He's garbage
4. Your rant about Alex Smith is turning into an unreasonable criticism of the Reid way. Reid wants to run a lot of spread and it seems clear he wanted that regardless of who our QB was. That's a good thing -- he's adapting to the game
5. You focused too much on defensive talent. That's not going to matter nearly as much as the scheme. I don't know if Sutton can run Rex Ryan's defense, or if Ryan is the pure brains behind it. If he can run it, it's intriguing and our personnel is a hell of a lot better to handle it than New York's
6. You have to define what success and failure mean. I think getting to the playoffs is a success. 3 years from now, it means getting to the Super Bowl. Alex Smith, for as much as you criticize him, is good enough to help us get to the playoffs and gives us an outside shot to win a playoff game. He's probably not the QB who takes us to a Super Bowl

Alex Bad Ass Smith has not even played a ****ing game yet for us- how in the hell is JC being wasted?

Just why should we expect anything great out of Alex MYTH? I've seen his play and honestly not impressed.

Why can't chiefs thrive to find something better, if not in this draft next draft?

The success is going be dependent on Alex Smith ability to get rid of the ball in a timely and precise manner to the WRs that can do something with the ball. Keeping Alex Smith healthy and upright and from taking too many sacks is also going be a big challenge for them.

There is a Big difference between having low expectations of Alex and calling him every freaking name in the book when he has not even played for us yet. He was having a descent year until he got hurt. Everyone said it was such an awesome move going against the "unwritten rule" - Vets get a chance at their jobs when the come off the DL. But that move cost the 9ers the SuperBowl- no matter how you try to spin it- Cape choked.

Now we get the Best QB we have had in here since what.. Green and Gannon possibly- and all people do is call him a dildo, shit stain, homo, myth, puke, ect ect. People can keep posting stats from the past proving he is going to suck- but the name calling is grade school- have some ****ing class for once.

I would expect more name calling out of you- that is your ace in the hole when someone does not agree with you.

Day after day I sign on here and read threads of Alex getting called names. Most agreed he was the best option- but yet they are piling on years of QB failures on him and he has not even thrown a pass for us.

Like I said have some ****ing class!!

milkman · 05-18-2013, 09:47 AM

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Alex Smith among the bottom 5 in red zone efficiency over the last two years, which is one of the reason their kicker broke the record for FGs in 2011.

Assuming Smith makes the play that wins that SB is Halfwit moronacy at it's finest.

Yet, you, like the dumbass you are, are calling him "Badass" before he ever takes a snap for the Chiefs, and in your halfwitted stupor probably can't not see the hypocracy in that.

So when he starts to suck like so many retreads before him I wont expect you to call him names because you are above every one else on this bored.

Did I call you names when you just posted Donald has more ceiling than Fisher and Albert.

What a stoopid post. Fisher has not even played a game. We have seen what Donald can do and he is not even close as good as Albert- not to mention a #1 pick. He you like the kid- no prob- and you HOPE he is going to be better than the other two. Highly unlikely.

But that is your opinion- based on Zero facts- but it is your opinion.

Most people on here including my self respect your opinion- most of the time you are spot on. So why don't you be more of an example when it comes to Smith. He is are QB now- and the trade, the past ect is over. You dont have to like it- or support him or the chiefs. But why be a negative classless asshole and attack anyone that hopes he brings some wins to our team.

Have some class for once Milk. Or just
