Chiefs Why are Maclin and Kelce not producing? - Page 8

I'd assume this has already been covered but most rushes are given to Ware, and in the passing tame there is no "hard target." We distribute the ball to everyone from Baby-Gronk to Maclin to DAT to West to Black-Jedi to Hill...

Alex Smith doing it sparingly isn't the same as doing it before. Yeah, he's done it once before. We need him to do it consistently now.

And it is the all 22. There are a couple all 22 views IIRC, the high view and the high endzone view.

But also, as a positive, it is awesome that they're atleast pushing it down field now, completions or not. That will only help open up the under game and such and make it better later.

Probably Andy Reid. Most of our games the first half of the season are against lower-half-of-the-league teams. So we dial back the offense in order to not put a whole lot on tape prior to November 27. At which point we may be 7-3 or 8-2 and legitimately in contention for home field. I think that's also why we've seen them take their foot off the gas so early in games.

I don't agree with that, but it's what I suspect. They're doing just enough to win while hiding as much as they can. Which is why there hasn't been a lot of focus on either Maclin or Kelce.

Although there is a good side to that, too: it means a lot of work for Conley, Hill, Wilson, Harris, etc. Almost like extended training camp.

I just question whether they'll actually be able to "dial it up" so to speak later on.
