Drummond ......... What's it going to take ?

ROYC75 · 10-22-2007, 12:30 PM

I'm sure our blocking sucks,but IMHO, I feel he doesn't read our blocking ( what we have ) vewry well .

Does anybody else feel this ? IMHO, he isn't getting the job done.

One thing is for sure. I don't get excited for kick returns like I used to when we had Dante.

royr17 · 10-22-2007, 12:33 PM

He's definately not getting the job done.

And we cant get Dante Hall back or Phinese cause the trade deadline has passed.

The guy is a waste of a roster spot. He flat out sucks.

Phinisee.

Fly O.T. McWall · 10-22-2007, 12:37 PM

We could get Phinisee back if we signed him. He's just on someone's practice squad.

Wile_E_Coyote · 10-22-2007, 12:38 PM

He is starting to dance like Dante now

I think people got spoiled by Dante's success. Not every team can have a Hester or Dante Hall. Thats what makes them special.

I think we have shitty blocking

I call BS. He just makes a straight shot to the sidelines.

I call "Real" BS. At the last game at Arrowhead he had two kickoffs right in front of me. I saw the wedge open up a hole for him to run straight thru and he headed to the sidelines.

Hey now there is video proof

Mr. Laz · 10-22-2007, 12:44 PM

imo a big part of the problem is the blocking scheme.

watch during a punt ...... we commit way too many guys to block the kick. So many guys are rushing the punter that they aren't in position to block anybody.

how many chiefs players just end up running down the field chasing defenders and never end up blocking anyone??

that's why we see 5 guy around Drummond with only 1 chief blocking.

imo we to take a different approach.....

i would put a bunch of offense lineman out there .... like 6 of them. They are used to occupying guys and will have the advantage of getting first shot

1 returner
1 gunner blocker left
1 gunner blocker right
6 lineman
2 punt rushers (pollard and ???)

At the snap of the ball the 6 offense lineman engage and trap as many of the punt team guys as they can while the 2 rushers can line up and go after the punter from whichever angle/position they see as being best.

that should leave drummond against the gunners

should give us a much better chance at a good return imo.

Drummond doesn't see the holes either ..... cut him ...... sign phinieas again.

In all fairness, our whole ST's suck, I'm not impressed with them at all.

They are getting better, a work in progress, but our coverage was horrid to start with ........

Agreed. Even our long snapper has issues at times.
