Chiefs Were our coordinators finally turned loose?

**petegz28** · 09-28-2008, 03:52 PM

I cannot help but notice the complete and total change in the playcalling on both sides of the ball. We have all seen Gailey offenses and Gunther defenses of the past and I think we can say what we saw the last 3 weeks were not typical of either.

Today, particularly on defense we seemed to play more agressive, particularly with the LB's.

One has to wonder if Herm's thumb was a little to heavy and maybe after last week the coordinators told him to back off some?

Maybe?

It was refreshing to see Gailey going for the throat late in the game.

Then we ****in' bludgeoned them to death with lethal buttsex offense. **** YEAH!

**ChiefGator** · 09-28-2008, 03:54 PM

I think LJ is finally rolling, and we are finally letting him run outside the tackles (like the end of the last game). Great game plan.

Oh, and our defense is learning. A very YOUNG defense too. Could be the beginning of a pretty good base for this defense and team.

Well considering we never took a shot in the first two times we were inside the 5 it was more revolutionary I thought.

We lucked out to a point since we didn't get 7 out of at least 1 of our 1st 2 possesions.

We couldn't score 1st and goal within the 10 twice in 1st quarter. Let's not start sucking our dicks just yet.

I don't think our offensive playcalling was all that different for most of the game. We just managed to actually get yards running up the gut. The turnovers and special teams really fed our offense too. We had excellent field position the entire game.

Maybe. Just seems we were a little more open, particularly in the 2nd half. And on defense I thought we looked more like an old Gun defense rather thna Herm defense.

****her has been doing a lot of the things he likes to do since the season started.

The difference today is that we had two LBs that were able to make plays.

Does anyone wonder what would happen if Charles got one of LJ's downhill toss touches and got a seam? Anyone? I want to see more of Charles.

What? We actually passed on first down a few times and threw the ball down the field. The play calling this game was a LOT better IMO.

I'm not going to get all exited. I've fallnen for this trap before. Denver's D sucks, and the Chiefs still gave up 20+ points. The O's 33 points was an aberration, not something that will occur regularly.

Uh, the final was 33 - 19. Not quite 20+ points.

I thought it sounded less like a Gun defense today, and more like a Tampa-2.

philfree · 09-28-2008, 07:00 PM

The zone blocking seemed to work and Larry made the cutbacks at the right time today. We also gave Huard some time and he was on. Up until today our blocking was so poor it was hard to tell what type of plays we were calling.

The first half was pretty Herm-like, with maybe one exception...

***
2nd quarter
3rd and 5 at KC 24 (7:28) (Shotgun) D.Huard pass deep left to D.Bowe ran ob at KC 40 for 16 yards.

...I was expecting a run, screen, or quick slant. Definitely not a pass PAST the first down marker.
***

Second half notables...

***
3rd/4th quarter

-- The entire drive where we went up 23-13 was the opposite of what we've done for the past 3 years. Ten play, 73 yard drive... only 12 rushing yards, and it's not like we had one huge play. We got decent chunks of yards through the air... 14, 17, 15, 10, and 10 for the TD. And look at the situation... we have the lead going into the 4th, and we're looking for more!!

-- The next drive to go up 26-16 was pretty Herm-like.. short run, screen, and then 3 straight runs before the FG.

-- The next drive to go up 33-19 was 4 straight runs, one on a 1st and 20 and another on 2nd and 16.
***

Hmmm... I was ready to say that it was completely different in the second half, but perhaps the outcome is a little deceiving. Given the situation, the drive to go up 23-13 is probably the best drive I've seen since Herm's been here. I guess the other stuff isn't anything to get real excited about, but that one drive was really nice!!
