The way you phrased it, it seemed to me you've been watching a lot of Big 12 football (gimmick offense, weak defense).

If you watch the SEC, you wouldn't be seeing weak defense.

they were terrible under Turner, too

They didn't run a gimmick offense though.

@JeffSkversky: Andy Reid consulted with former Kansas City Chiefs Coach Dick Vermeil about the job sources confirm to @6abc.

Reid does like speedy WRs, but he has isn't afraid to go after possession WRs, but those he usually targets for the slot.

One thing I know for a fact Andy Reid loves and that is RBs who can catch the ball out of the backfield. It is pretty much an absolute 100% certainty that you will be throwing the ball to your backs a lot. If you don't have a RB that he likes as a receiver, he will draft one.

The thought of Jamaal Charles catching the ball out of the backfield...

Final say” could become an issue for G.M. hire in Kansas City

With Andy Reid reportedly poised to become the next coach of the Chiefs (of course, it’s been close for six hours now), plenty of names are bubbling up for the position of G.M., if/when Reid takes the job.

Here’s the most important thing to keep in mind when assessing who may end up in that job. If it’s a guy like Packers director of operations John Dorsey, the Chiefs technically would have to offer him final say in order to wrest him away from Green Bay, if he’s still under contract and if the Packers opt not not to release him from it.

Of course, plenty of teams have given “final say” to the G.M. even though the coach was actually in charge. It happened when the Browns hired George Kokinis from the Ravens and when the Dolphins hired Jeff Ireland from the Cowboys. Teams generally don’t like to pick fights over these issues, and Dorsey has been a long-time, loyal employee of the franchise. So maybe he wouldn’t need a cheesecake with a file in it to get out of Wisconsin.

Still, regardless of who it ends up being, the issue of “final say” could become an issue in hiring a G.M.

Thank you, Coach Vermeil.

If it's true that Reid and Dorsey are friends.....I don't think Dorsey would have a problem coming to KC with "final say" even though he really didn't.

RBs who can catch the ball will definitely be a priority. From Duce Staley, to Westbrook, to McCoy he has always had one. He targets them specifically. He loves versatile backs. It's his favorite thing to have out of all the skill positions.

I've been wondering if Clark has been getting advice from Vermeil and Marty.

It's "Trent and I", Mr. Vermeil.
