onejayhawk Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 We genuinely take fewer chances when we have a lead, which also translates to apply less pressure to the defense. It's worth noting that in the Buffalo game we have the six minute TD drive early in the game. We went down the field in chunks, ie 5+ yards, but nothing long. that's the sort of grinding that breaks a defense. The next drive had Hardman's 50 yard jet sweep. Two drives later, Hill did his 70 yard video-game run (did you know he apologized to Coach for not getting the touch?). The point is that when the defense is giving the short stuff, we can take it and still keep pressure. Sometimes we don't do that with a lead.

J We’ve gotten really good at dealing with defenses dropping everybody into soft zones and applying pressure with 4. Just go back to the West Coast roots of the offense. Short stuff to get YAC, and misdirection presnap to take the pressure off the OL, then assume when all else fails that Mahomes is gonna wheel and deal and make an amazing throw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that’s why a lot of us want to upgrade the OL a bit. At least get a couple guys in there who can road grade a little, takes a ton of pressure of those soft zones when they fear a power run game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Agreed. The West Coast offense is designed to give the QB sight of three receivers in the same visual wedge. Even our heavily vertical system has that concept. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Tony Romo had this to say. He has a point. If Patrick wants to be the GOAT, this is a must win. "This is the biggest game Patrick Mahomes will ever play in for the rest of his career… If he loses this game, he cannot catch Tom Brady, in my opinion." – @tonyromo pic.twitter.com/zHM8A9xuVy Footnote: Brady has never won SB MVP back to back. In 2004 they gave it to Dieon Branch. If he really wants to rub it in, he should get a TD reception like Foles three years ago. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefs_5627 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Just reading that Willie Gay tore his meniscus during practice today and needed surgery. On his Instagram he's in a brace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High ankle sprain that cascaded to a dislocated meniscus(which didn’t tear thank god) God Speed on that recovery and hopefully he’s ready to start the year. At least the rest of the LBs are healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tore up a knee in offseason/preseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakuvious Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Yeah, that kind of injury for Willie G, you have to assume he won't be able to go next year, and just hope that he can. Hopefully we can find a way to bring back Damien Wilson on a cheap deal. Then worst case scenario, you go into next year with the same LB group as this year. I know Niemann/Hitch/Wilson isn't an inspiring group, but it's functional enough. Though if we lose Dan, that gets a bit tougher. It really disappoints me that DOD never developed into even a 1 or 2 down player at LB. He'd have been a good guy to have had as hybrid S/LB role to bridge the gap between Sorensen and Gay. Gotta be honest, as nice as it would be to have them back, it could be really convenient if Fish and/or Schwartz retired. Just from a financial standpoint.

Nice to see that they’re somewhat aware of the situation with the Osemele signing. We definitely need some ol upgrades, hopefully through early draft picks.

I’m hearing it’s a 4 month timetable to return from that injury? Edited January 30, 2021 by Chiefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
