Ward joins in calling out Bob Sutton

[TwistedChief]

First, let me just say that the Star is putting out much, much better content this year with their new team.

Anyway,
https://www.kansascity.com/sports/sp...238089644.html

Ward is talking about a third-and-10 in overtime, when Patriots receiver Julian Edelman split wide to the right, then motioned toward slot receiver Phillip Dorsett at the snap. Ward followed Edelman, the snap timed so that Dorsett rubbed Ward and gave Edelman an extra step.

Tom Brady’s pass, of course, was completed. First down. Three plays later, another conversion. Three plays after that, the touchdown that ended the Chiefs’ season.

"I knew that was coming,” Ward says. “But I couldn’t do nothing about it.”

Ward means he could not stop it because of how he and his teammates were coached. The Patriots had run the exact same play on a third down earlier in the drive, on the other side of the field: Edelman split wide left, motioning toward Dorsett in the slot, his route aided by a rub, the pass completed for a first down.

"So I knew it was coming,” Ward continues. “I couldn’t do nothing about it because I was told to stay down. If I would’ve been like, ‘Nah, nah, nah, let’s in-and-out,’ it would’ve played out different. (If they) kick a field goal, miss or make it, Pat Mahomes goes down and scores a touchdown and we win the game and we’re in the Super Bowl.

“I was instructed to stay down, but I could’ve told (fellow cornerback Kendall) Fuller, ‘Man, let’s in-and-out.’ Because the same thing just happened on the other side.”

Ward pauses. Bob Sutton, then the Chiefs’ defensive coordinator, had been clear in his directives on the Patriots’ fateful drive. Players lose jobs for freelancing.

“But I’m the one that’s playing,” Ward says. “I still could’ve overruled that, and told Fuller, ‘Let’s work together.’”

Another pause.

“Bob was ... man.”

One more pause.

“I ain’t going to say nothing about that.”

Wow. Gives me hope. I’m also glad he checked himself and didn’t go farther. It’s not necessary and ultimately reflects on Andy.

He didnt go against him. Sutton was a boob to set in his ways Ward was a good soldier and played Suttons scheme no matter how wrong.

We will never know what could have been if he had gone rogue. I will say Wards int sealed the game in Suttons defense if not for dumbass Ford. I just don't like players blaming ex coaches right or wrong makes you look like a blamer.

Tell me again how Spags is worse than Sutton, moron Chiefs fans.

To be fair, that was just as much on not running the ball and the offense committing turnovers late in the game to allow the Colts back in the game.

Disagree. Flashback to Travis Kelce getting chewed out by Eric Bieniemy for the impromptu hook-and-ladder.

[Spott]

One day the offensive players will complain about Andy Reid calling trick plays from the shotgun formation when all we need is one yard and the other teams defense hasn’t been able to stop the run.

That’s pretty much how I feel about it.

If our secondary tackles their WR's and gets a penalty every play we can run out the clock.

It's amazing how our coaches and players did everything possible wrong to hand the game to Indy.

“ In 2018, the Chiefs were the 26th-most-efficient defense according to Football Outsiders. This year under Spagnuolo, they are no. 15—and no. 6 in pass defense.”

I had gotten over my hatred of Sutton. Welp, that's back with a passion now.

Ya' think? It's the second to last game of the season and you're going to just line up and knowingly let Sutton and Brady fist your kiester?

Weak shit, Ward.

Weak.

As.

****.
