James to get more touches ..???

[hailgunther]

Ohhh I hope you guys win the toss and get the ball first.

 

[Pariah]

Ohhh I hope you guys win

Thanks, man. That's really big of you.

 

[az1965]

Why the hell would they do that? That's what you do against teams that run the ball effectively.

To put constant pressure on Lienart and force him to make mistakes.

They can do that without 8 in the box. If they blitz the kitchen sink, they'll get beat because it won't take much for Boldin and/or Fitz to break a tackle and be gone.

 

[Russ Smith]

Ohhh I hope you guys win the toss and get the ball first.

That's because you haven't seen JJ Arrington return a KO yet.

Unfortunately, neither have we.

Caving into giving Edge everything is part of our problem. We need to stop trying to push James at all costs and get the WR's the ball in quick hitting plays. We need to get in a position where our horrible line can hurt us the least.

Yeah, that always translates into wins. Just look at last season, when we got the ball to the WRs in quick-hitting plays.

What's that? We went 5-11 last season and picked 10th overall in the NFL draft? That's not good. Oh, but we put up huge passing stats?

I think they are highly confident with their corners to play man coverage like we are with our receivers.

Okay, I guess I'm not sure where you get that impression. We'll see. But I don't think they'll be putting 8 in the box very often.

Greeting Cards Fans! I agree with this...I think you'll see a lot of blitzes off the edge from Derrick Johnson (LB) and Greg Wesley (S). Quick slants would slow that down. If you guys run a bootleg, you'll burn us every time. Everyone else does!

Here's to a good game!

Are the Chiefs really playing that much man to man with their CB's it seemed to me they were playing cover 2 a lot against the 49ers?

But you guys are pretty thin on your D line with various injuries. Is that right?

I strongly believe we should call at least couple bootleg plays. I think Lienart can use his legs much much better than Warner could ever. May be run one in red zone faking to Edge and Matt taking off on the other direction to score a TD!

The Chiefs don't need to do that. Teams have done just fine defending our running game with 7 men up.

Maybe we can attack the old men on the corners and hope their 30 somethings wear out chasing our youngsters.

Edwards brought his "Tampa cover two" with him, so yeah...that's the main coverage scheme. I saw a few nickle variants last week that blitzed the safety with pretty good results. The problem the 9er's had was getting Smith time to throw.

But you guys are pretty thin on your D line with various injuries. Is that right?

No...our D line isn't depleted, they're just not that good. Our O line is sort of patched together. Black will be playing left tackle. We call him "I-65" because everybody runs over him.

Alas, even your 'not so good' DL will most likely sufficient to stop the run. But, I'm not sure about putting enough pressure on Matt. You may need to bring a saftey or corner up in the box.

He sounds like he plays for us ...

Is he related to Ross or Step or Davis or M. Brown ... ???

:statsaren'tasimportantaswins:

Not thinking about stats, I could care less about stats. But what I would say is that running Edge into that line play after play, and waiting for our routes to develop play after play while Warner and Edge, and Leinart if it continues get destroyed behind the LoS, isn't getting the job done.

If you think that :statsaren'tasimportantaswins:

I'll take you one further :20carriesfor40yardsisn'tgoingtogetyouawinanyday:

Until this line is improved somehow, which probably won't happen this year, we better change our play calling to something that will work with what we have.
