But the OL re-anchored and held him with no real risk to the QB. Minshew dropped back on the hash and never had to even consider vacating it (not from his blind side anyway). That's a clear win by the OT. And I know that Clark's more of a 'set up' rusher in that he'll use that bull rush to get guys to behave a certain way and set them up for a hump or a rip move later. But even still, Clark quit on that rep once he got stopped. The bull-rush is a part of every down lineman's arsenal but once it's stopped, it's time to try something else to keep advancing. Clark didn't - that's the 'counter move' thing you want to see from developing pass-rushers and Clark doesn't even attempt one there.

So I guess next week Spag will unveil some exotic defensive looks? Sorry, the only exotic looks we've seen from a Chiefs D in recent years is a multi-millionaire player made-up to look like a hobo.

This is a BAD OT he's going against - he doesn't need to toss Walter Jones out of the way here. He hits the guy and rocks him; feel that and make your next move. Instead he goes full Bailey and the guy just re-anchors. It was completely ineffective.

Regarding that play though can we give Daly some props? That's beautiful work by a former first round bust on that play.

That isn't one of those Chris Jones specials where he gets stood up and puts his hands into the passing lane - Jones is a master at that precisely because he keeps his eyes up and finds his mark. Clark didn't do that here.

But your points stands - great set of moves by Ogbah there. Getting free was nice enough but then the little dip/rip to keep the OL from getting his hands on him as he's trying to get the corner was awfully nice. Yeah, that was a hell of a play and if that's something Ogbah wasn't showing, it definitely deserves some praise for Daley.

If he'd have kept his head up, he'd have known that there's no reason to be looking for a deflection there and that he might actually have a play to the inside. Just looks like a half-plan executed poorly to me. By the end he's just getting ridden out of the play because he's compounding problems.

Is that an RPO? Or just a really cleverly designed PA pass? Because the entire OL down-blocks so you can see Fuller and Hitchens both kinda take themselves out of the play. Fuller gets stuck in the wash and Hitchens is just too slow to react to the play-fake and get upfield to disrupt the rhythm. Clark seems to first be going 'with' the run, squeezing to his left and treating it like a run play to close up the gap and potentially maintain a new edge. If that's a run play and he tries to freelance it (jump outside and get after the passer, for instance), he could create a massive cutback lane so credit to him for really engaging his guy first. Then he diagnosis the play action and by then it's too late. I won't put that play on Clark. That's mostly on Ward for getting beat by a single move and then just being outrun to the spot. Clark did what he needed to do given that the OL was showing run. Be it an RPO or good play-action design, the down-blocking from the OL fooled most everyone there. Ward needed to do his job there and Minshew probably checks down to the guy squeezing out to his left there for maybe 6-8 yards. In either event, that was a well designed play and I think there were yards there whatever the case ended up being. You just sure would like to see that not be 60+ in that spot. EDIT: Yeah, I dunno - I really think that's an RPO given that Lee came across the formation and his first step was to block. I'll remain open to being educated there. Fournette seemed to give up on the mesh pretty quickly for an RPO but it's possible he was just making the same read as Minshew and knew what was going to happen so he was trying to get out in the pattern. Dunno really but I don't think Clark did anything wrong there.

Yeah, that's where Ward has to just make a play and do something other than that. Make him check it down.
I'm atleast encouraged because it seemed, to me atleast, that it was a lot of breakdowns caused by communications and such. That can be fixed (in theory). |

Defense is so reactive and looking around at the best defenses, they've been together for quite a while. Cohesion matters.
So, i'm thinking when Spags was saying it'll take time, he's probably right. |

I spent the first 6-8 weeks of last season saying "don't worry guys, these are communication problems and not talent problems, they'll work themselves out..." I won't whistle past that graveyard ever again. Call me irrational or premature, but I banked on that shit just working itself out last year and it just never did.
