A somewhat neglected aspect of yesterday's game

[FringeNC]

The Chiefs consistently moved the ball through the air yesterday. They didn't wait until third down and long to throw the ball. The offense was like nothing we've seen in the three years Herm has been here, and in my opinion was the best the passing game has looked since the Cleveland game of Herm's first year.

Rather than pounding it up the center's butt from a tight formation, we spread things out, and let Thigpen do his thing.

Those who said our poor QB and poor line dictated our RRPP offense look a little foolish now. It certainly appears to me, and has always, that a line and QB need to create uncertainty on the D side in order to be effective.

What we saw yesterday was very damning of Edwards' previous gameplans.

That hadn't occurred to me in that way, which makes it all the more fascinating. We must be truly horrible. How can that be? We've drafted like crazy on defense, Herm's a defense first guy, and he came into KC with the express and stated goal of improving the D. What in the name of Mr. Iowanian's sasquatch suit itch is happening?

Herm isnt the draft guru, defense fixer that many folks around here sucked him off to be when he arrived...

Herm is nothing more that an over glorified scout that is living off his TB years where obviously Dungy was the real talent scout and made this ficticious figure in Herm....
